In our example, since we are applying the expression to the position property, 50 says that the layer can move 50 pixels in any direction.
In this case 15 wiggles are happening every second, or every other frame.Īmp is calculated in units of the property for which it is applied. Command+Click (Alt+Click in Windows) the Stopwatch Icon, and in the expression window add the expression wiggle (15, 50, 1).įrequency defines how many wiggles happen each second. With the solid layer selected in the Timeline, press the P key to display the Position property for the layer. For this discussion, open After Effects, create a New Composition, and create a 200 pixel by 200 pixel solid. The elements of the expression represent how the wiggle will be calculated. To create the wiggle expression Command+Click on the layer property stopwatch and enter the formula wiggle(freq, amp ,octave). For example you can cause a jittery chaotic motion to a layer by applying the wiggle expression to the Position property of a layer. Wiggle allows you add randomness to a property of a layer. Rather than adding several random keyframes for certain properties to animate your objects like: "rotation", "scale", "opacity" and so on, a much faster and more flexible way to do that is to use a Wiggle expression (plugging in a set of numbers), which automatically creates the animation in your objects for you.Ībout the "Wiggle" Command in AE | (MORE IN GENERAL) for our passion and love for After-Effects.Ībout the "Wiggle" Command in AE | BASIC (in general): Naturally I'm a sucker for geometric shape animations and Electronic-New Wave-dub-reggae fusion-alternative dance music (like "Santigold's"), so working on this personally with the help of a few friends, was well worth it esp. Using my voice (as the cool radio late night voiceover guy) with a mix of raunchiness and sexy awkward humor, using the simplest objects to fulfill our info-graphic: "geometric shapes".
Luckily, my team and I decided to jazz it up a little.Īt first I was thinking of animating a basic info-graphic about the super incredible powerful "Wiggle command" in After Effects: making it pretty basic and straight to the point with some very cool detailed looking assets, and then we thought: "No! Let's have some fun with this. First and foremost If you haven’t used the "wiggle"command: the expression in After Effects that gives your object layers a little shake, then you are missing out.
