After Effects Tutorial - Wiggle Expression
Thanks for viewing! / andyfordvideo
After Effects allows for you to write expressions. Expressions are kind of like code, but don’t be scared! I’ll show you one of the simplest yet most useful expressions there is – the Wiggle Expression.
The Wiggle Expression can be applied to keyframes of many layer properties to create movement. You can control this movement to be subtle or extreme. The expression simply affects the keyframe values for you, alleviating tedious individual adjustment of keyframes. The Wiggle Expression can do a lot of things you’ve noticed in videos, such as causing text to jiggle, lights to flicker, and layers to appear to have camera movements.
During this short After Effects video tutorial, I’ll show you how to write the Wiggle Expression, apply it to a text layer, and add subtle camera movement to a layer. Please note that subtle “Wiggle” is hard to see in a screen capture of an After Effects preview, so I recommend you following along on your software.
