Wiggle Expression

Adds random motion to a property, creating a natural, organic effect.

Imagine animating a helium balloon. Balloons tend to drift randomly when floating in the air. Instead of manually creating keyframes, you can apply wiggle(2, 50) to its position. This makes the balloon move randomly 2 times per second, with each motion varying up to 50 pixels. It’s great for simulating randomness in weather effects like leaves blowing in the wind.

wiggle(2, 50)

How to Use This Expression?

  • Apply to a Property: Select the property you want to apply the wiggle effect to (Position, Rotation, Scale, etc.).
    Alt + Click (Windows) or Option + Click (Mac) the stopwatch icon for that property.
    Paste wiggle(2, 50) in the expression editor.

  • Customize:
    Adjust the frequency and amount values to get the desired effect:

    • Increase frequency for faster, more frequent wiggles.

    • Increase amount for a larger range of movement
