Creating a Looping Wiggle Effect in After Effects - Tutorial
When you create a wiggle effect - really easy with (wiggle 1,10) for example - and you want to make your animation loop, you can't because it randomly jumps around so the starting position isn't the same as the end position. Well fear no more! I've got the solution for you. You'll have to watch the video though. Cheers!
Looping Wiggle Expression:
freq = 1;
amp = 110;
loopTime = 3;
t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime);
linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)

Great short tutorial! I knew about the wiggle expression, but I didn't know you could make them loop perfectly with looptime!

I was having issues with the loop timing, I had a comp that was 4s long, but when I changed the expression to reflect 4 as the time, I was still getting an extra frame or two that weren't working, even when I tried making it 1 frame longer/shorter than 4s. I found this expression to eliminate the issue of the timing: freq = 1; amp = 510; loopTime = thisComp.duration; t = time % loopTime; wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t); wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime); linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2) Thank you for this video!

This is beautiful, elegant and the way to do it.

@TheDoggyChannelVideo 2 ай бұрын

Another way is, to leave the expression as it was originally, so if your comp is 4s, the timeline has to end in 00:3,29 (in 30fps) this is due to the next frame is 00:00,00 which is the same as 00:04,00 so thats why you get the same frame twice

no one making this "tutorial" explains the meaning of lines: t = time % loopTime; wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t); wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime); linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)

great tutorial! If my 'loopTime' is 01,19seg. How do i express it?

@timeSlidrGaming Жыл бұрын

When I animate it going from a slow wiggle to a faster wiggle, it goes faster during the animation than it is after the last keyframe. Like if I animate it going from 1 to 2, it's faster than 2 during the animation but is 2 after it. Is there anyway to fix that?

@viktoriag6206 8 ай бұрын

Does someone know how to slow down the animation with this expression, while still preserving the loop?

@sentiny 2 жыл бұрын

many many thanks, very useful expression. Is there any way to make it frame based? Instead of 0:00:03:00, what if it's 0:00:03:17, or just 00071?

@lucasp.1870 2 жыл бұрын

got any idea? having the same issue

@Cristina-hp2yg Жыл бұрын

You can just divide the number of frames by the frame rate for example I have 215 frames and my animation is 24 fps. Instead of putting 3 in the loopTime, I've put loopTime=215/24 and it worked perfectly. You don't even have to do the math in case it has too many decimals or whatever.

What if I want to loop it using only "y" wiggle?

@keithlichtie1268 2 жыл бұрын

Much thanks - quick question: I currently have the following expression to keep the wiggle only on the y-axis: [ value[0], wiggle(1,5)[1] ] How would I add this to the expression you shared to make the above expression an exact loop? freq = 1; amp = 5; loopTime = 3; t = time % loopTime; wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t); wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime); linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)

@dcofr Жыл бұрын

i know im late but if you are using simple positon keyframing, you can right click and press separate dimensions, isolating the x and y axises
