How to keyframe a wiggle in Adobe After Effects

- Use Expressions Controls effects to set keyframes for your wiggle expression.
Here's a quick tutorial video covering one of the most frequently asked questions about expressions in @AdobeAE. Using the Expressions Controls effects you can link values to keyframeable sliders. This allows you to increase or decrease wiggle values with keyframes.
The tutorial also includes how to include the Transform effect so that you can save a Fading (reducing) Wiggle as a preset.
[Edit: Yeah, I know I've changed the name, but my wife hated it and the joke was starting to get old. Plus this brings these videos inline with my other two series, Makin' and Startin']

This is my 4th-4th!!-tutorial on key framing wiggle expressions. I have been going mad. Followed your instructions and IT WORKED. I am now subscribing :) thank you!
Now that’s an endorsement! Glad I could help
Thank you very much, this was so helpful! Very clear and informative. 👍👏👏👏
You’re very welcome, glad you found this useful.
Very good! This channel is a hidden gem. thanks SC! (In one video you saved me 3 times!)
Thank you, great to hear I helped.
fucking simple and awesome, I was changing it dividing layers with independent wiggle values XD
Haha that's actually very easy, thanks a lot! :)
Doesn't Work the expression keeps generating with this temp = effect("Amplitude")("Slider");
[temp, temp, temp] then the box just teleports off screen
That temp, temp , temp happens because the pickwhip is writing the entire expression. Make sure you have the amplitude value in the wiggle selected when you use the pickwhip
what's the difference between the angle slider and just a regular slider for Frequency? I thought it would fix the weirdness you get when animating a keyframe for frequency but it still acts strange.
Ultimately there is no difference. Both expression controls output numbers, so it’s easier to see angle control looping, but that’s about it
Thanks for this, worth the subscription, great tutorial
Saved my life, thank you so much.
Some heroes wear capes, like me. I look good in a cape 😁. Being slightly more serious, I’m glad this helped you.
@@ShiveringCactus 😆😆
This is a great short cut to controlling the wiggle speed but you should be aware
there is a more precise way to control wiggle start, end, and speed.
See Dan Ebbert's "Motion Script" site "Controlling Wiggle Speed".
Thank you - I'm aware of Dan Ebberts, but that link is a very complicated expression - my tutorials are generally focussed on teaching concepts rather than complete solutions.
Awesome!!!!!! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome
Thanks for the vid Cactus! Do you take requests? I'd love to lay my list of hair-pullers on ya lol
I’m not against taking requests. What are your hair pullers? (Edit: just to be clear, I’m more than happy to take requests)
ShiveringCactus Sorry for the delay... Armageddon has finally landed here in Las Vegas lol. Lately I've been getting into a lot more 3D integration stuff. I started with C4D r21 about a year and a half ago, then toyed around with Element 3D (which I really like), finally just grabbed a year subscription to Houdini. I'm a huge sponge and I love learning so overall I'm trying to find which platform(s) best suit my needs and where everything 'lives' in the pipeline. The movie I'm on now had me collapse a building in an earthquake (and I won't mention which one Trump Tower) in a live action shot. Took me a month but I was happy with the results. Some roadblocks I'd hit were things like I had a hard time lining everything up together between AR, C4D, and Mocha pro. 3D layers weren't tracking right but 2D ones did. I had to 'fake' some of it but I'm pretty sure I know why now.
So TLDR: Anything with hard-core 3d integration and set extensions. Maybe even some sky replacement tricks. Your approach to things really tickles my inner retired programmer, so any deep dives on the code level won't be lost on me. /rant
Thank you for this tutorial! It really helped me today.
You’re very welcome
You save my live bro, thanks!!!
Part of me wants Adobe to build this into the product, but then no one would watch my tutorial if they did.
You are a god!
Nah, I’m just a cartoon, sharing what little they know about AE
this was a awesome tutorial! subbed. but it look like a very tedious work i guess i am gonna use s shake for it :D
Thanks for the sub. If you're already paying for a plugin it makes sense to use it, but sometimes money is the issue and time isn't, that's when these sort of techniques come into their own.
@@ShiveringCactus totally :D also shake plugins are so heavy on processing and rendering thats why i am using wiggle whenever i can instead of plugins. and this tutorial teach me alot :D thank you!
That's interesting. I hadn't realised shake plugins would be render-heavy. I'm too cheap to have bought one :D
i am using pretty bad laptop rn. i usually get crashes when i use them lol. so i am trying to finish my job quick as possible when i use them :D
amazing! thank you
You’re very welcome, glad you found this useful.
so good dude
Thank you - glad you found it useful
Thank you sooooo much!
You’re very welcome
Thanks for this!
Sure thing!
Why are my keyframes a circle when i wanna do like a skew transition? Pls help
Try right-clicking on the keyframe, then choose keyframe interpretation, and switch them to linear.
@@ShiveringCactus okay tysm i will try but please stay in touch with me!
I can't use what you've shared to make a flickering effect correctly
To create a flickering light, I'd probably use the Strobe Light effect rather than try to keyframe the wiggle amount. There's a lot of options built-in.
@@ShiveringCactus I appreciate it, I'll search about it thanks
@@fueroxamino9430 just do you know it’s an included effect and really simple to use
thank you!!
You’re welcome
Thank you Master❤
Soon the apprentice will become the master, I’m sure.
thank you cactus-sama
You’re very welcome, Jiminy-san
Were do I get it?
What is it you’re looking for?
thanks a lot
Glad this helped
Hey, can you help me with this video. I have two compositions 1.main comp 2. inner card comp
but when I put the the inner card comp in the main and apply just the position keyframes, all the inside content starts vibrating.
So is it the frame rate or nesting of too many composition or the keyframe interpolation. You seem to have great knowledge in after effects. Please help !
This is the video - ua-cam.com/video/ucuVehPU1fo/v-deo.html
I'm not sure I see the problem from that link. Previews might be difficult with a lot of precomps, but that won't affect render. If you want to go to my Channel's About page, you can find my email address in the For Business button, I can take a look there or better yet, check out www.creativecow.net - it's a great forum and they might be able to help too.
Wow, it made no sense compared to others that this works..
Thank you? I think?
You're not the first person to say as much and I'm glad my version made sense for you.
