Kick ass tut. Short, to the point, and clear as a bell. Best of all, none of that awful Gen Z "cutesy" stuff.
Much appreciated, thanks! Love your profile graphic, btw (letter G).
I've got about 30 years on Gen Z so no 'cutesy' stuff here! (also probably why I don't have a million subs...Ha!)
Thanks & Cheers! 👍
Wow, After years of using AE i finally looked up sliders and expression control. Damn, its even easier :D
Awesome! Glad it helped! 👍
@@MikeMurphyCo Absolutely! Great Explanation. Very sweet of you to share this.
great bro
Glad it helped! 👍
@@MikeMurphyCo How we can make this animation in after effects? czcams.com/video/waz5UpXZH3o/video.html

quick question - Before I looked up this tutorial, I tried doing this from memory. And I'm curious about if the order of operations makes a difference in outcome (it seems to have).
I typed wiggle( and then pickwhipped to slider 1, and then typed a comma, and then pickwhipped to slider 2, close parenthesis.
This did not really give me the result I wanted. When I keyframed the sliders from 0 to their respective amounts (something like (1,50), instead of simply gradually increasing the wiggle amount over that time, my affected layer just jumped it's position for the duration of the keyframes and then stopped.
My main question is if it is necessary to type out the full expression "Wiggle(value,value) and then highlight each number and pickwhip them, rather than just pickwhipping as I write the expression instead of typing a number.
It seems as if the way I did it made the actual position values reference the sider instead of the expression wiggle values. Anyone know?
If you have not already tested your theory by comparing the 2 methods, try deleting the Slider Controls and re-adding them (or try Resetting first). Then pick-whip the wiggle values. 👍
Would you use slider controls to simulate Video Playback and seek buttons? I'm trying to make a VLC-type movie player in my comp, with a play-head that controls the actual playback of the comp like in VLC when you click and drag left or right to advance the movie forwards or backwards. Obliviously there's no actual interaction by the viewer in the finished render, but I'm trying to create the effect of watching a movie and dragging the "playhead" in my shape layer "progress bar" to the start and then to the end. Or is that just key-framing the position of the shape layer representing the movie player progress bar which is pickwhipped to time remapping of the comp? (I dunno if I'm explaining accurately) Any advice on this? Also, THANK YOU so much for your valued tutorials! And for sharing your content! Much love and God bless and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks for the kind words and Happy New Year to you!
It sounds like a cool project in AE! I think it is going to require some trial and error on your part in terms of whether to use Slider Controls.
I think I would approach it by using keyframes on the layer and if I reached a point to where I thought Slider Controls would make the entire process easier, then I would try controlling some Property Values with Sliders, but otherwise, I would probably do all of the animating on the layers.
Good luck! 🍀
@@MikeMurphyCo 😘👌🖖👍
i need help please, while applying the slider to wiggle expression , some error happen and yellow triangle appear and when click on it ,, it shows an error massage
If you can provide more details about the steps you are taking, I will help you troubleshoot. 👍
If you apply wiggle(5,15) to the Rotation Property, does it work? Are you only getting the error when trying to add the Slider Controls?
@@MikeMurphyCo i would like to send you screenshot to got it
When i replace the values of wiggles by sliders and press enter , Yellow triangle will appear and when press on it some error massage come
@@Mano_Motion If you followed the tutorial and renamed the slider controls to 'Frequency & Amplitude', this is what the expression should be after you pickwhip the Wiggle values to the Slider Controls. Copy and paste this and compare it to your expression and try to identify the error:
wiggle(effect("Frequency")("Slider"),effect("Amplitude")("Slider"))
@@Mano_Motion
The same thing happened to me, just add a ")" at the end of the expression and the syntax error is gone!
i wish this guy was my dad
Ha!
