Looping Wiggle Expressions & Connecting Dots - After Effects Tutorial

[@jaimegmh]

Love your tutorials! Just a quick tip that I learned somewhere: to loop the wave warp divide 1 by the length of your comp (in seconds). If it's 5 seconds long, type 1/5 in the "Wave Speed" parameter and it will loop seamlessly. If you want it faster or slower, select the resulting value and add "*1" or "*.5" next to it. Hope it's clear! Keep your tutorials coming!

Great tutorial!!!! I have been looking all over the web for this, THANKS, you are awesome!

[@cosmicrus1988]

super bomb at this point in the curve, for me, thanks this vid is.

[@golosok_academy]

This is magic! Thanks!

[@yesornoandmaybeso]

Procedurality to the MAX!

[@moboxgraphics]

Any way to quicken the workflow. On one hand, it's a bit less finessed, but on the other, it's much faster!

[@anci.valiart]

Wow! It's amazing! Thank you for this tutorial

Nice tutorial. This expression is definitaly usefull.

Looped Wiggle() is awesome!

Thank you!!

Thank you for the hard work! I really learn much from you :)

Thank you for having a watch!

I learned a lot with this tutorial! thank you

:D

It would be very helpful if you could put these complex expressions in your description or comments somewhere so we can cut and paste them in. Much too easy to get bogged down trying to debug typos, etc. Thx!

[@nicklyskawa3504]

I know this is pretty old by now, but I keep getting an error saying that "layer 23 is out of range," which makes sense to me, there is no layer 23 when you type the expressions in the first beam layer. I don't understand why this isn't happening to yours however, as you also only have 22 layers.

Thanks for this! 😁

Thank you for watching!

Awesome!

Why I write expression not successfully?

[@NikLinenbergerMusic]

I'm getting a "couldn't turn result into numeric value" error on line 1 for some reason...

hey thanks!

Please create a Low Polly Football stadium in C4D. Please Please Please Please Please. Loved your works.

[@pinguinmithut3539]

in my project I use the random expression to let the lines choose their dots - is there a way to let them choose only those which popped up already?

[@amritaaryan]

How did u make the black bg transition to white at 0:03.

[@1nxpired]

there is a tutorial for this in his channel.

[@amritaaryan]

@@1nxpired Yeah, got it. Thanks

[@pinguinmithut3539]

omg I just thought that I finaly found the solution for my problem. But my project is in 3D and all shape layers are parented to a null, so the expression to connect a line to dots doesnt work. can anybody tell me what might be the solution?

[@moboxgraphics]

Use the toComp() function or look it up

[@pinguinmithut3539]

@@moboxgraphics thanks, that helped!

[@connorgreenawalt4732]

Following the tutorial, my lines don't meet with the circles. They follow the movement, but are off to the side and not connecting the dots. IS there anyway to fix this?

[@moboxgraphics]

Are your circles 3D? Is anything connected to a Null object and scaled/moved?

[@connorgreenawalt4732]

@@moboxgraphics I figured it out. It was the anchor point not being centered to the circles.

[@moboxgraphics]

👌

[@TOFUDMC]

cant figure this one out, returning an error of: "expression result must be of dimension 2, not 1"

[@ivanvukovic5770]

You need to check whether the value you're trying to wiggle is 2-dimensional. Position is 2-dimensional by default, but it can be split, in which case you get two 1-dimensional values for X and Y. If this is the case, you will be getting that error.

loopTime = thisComp.layer("controller").effect(Time")("Slider") Error: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list I got error for this line. Help.

same here!! Any ideas?

Não da para entender nada, explica muito rápido, parece estar em uma corrida, os caracteres da tela são minúsculos, não da para ver no smart phone, preciso olhar no smartphone para digitar no notebook e como os caractéres são micro, não consigo ver bósta nenhuma. Tutorial horrível, frustrante.

[@tetiitet]

easy, thankss really glad find this tutorial
