Ever wanted a wiggle that actually loops?
Here’s how to stop After Effects from doing its usual “never-ending chaos” thing and make a wiggle that loops perfectly.
Drop this on rotation, position, or any property that needs a bit of life:
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)Quick breakdown:
freq = how many wiggles per second
amp = how strong the wiggle is
loopTime = how long you want the loop (try 10 for a 10-second loop)
That’s it. Clean, seamless, perfect.
If this saves you a headache or a few keyframes, you can support me here. It helps me keep making tools, tricks, and other small things that make creative work a bit less painful.
