About Loop This! Wiggle

Loop This! Wiggle generates loopable wiggle motion in After Effects through expressions or baked keyframes based on seeded randomness, ensuring 100% reproducible loops. It works with any numeric keyframeable property, including Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, shape layers, text animators, Puppet Tool pins, and third‑party plugin parameters. The dockable panel lets users select one or multiple properties, set Start and End times in seconds or SMPTE timecode (validated against the comp frame rate), and define per‑axis frequency, amplitude, and optional clamps. Noise can be Perlin (1‑8 octaves) or Random Walk, with a seed for deterministic results. Users choose Expression mode or Bake mode (Additive or Clean options). The tool can process multiple properties across layers in a single pass and synchronize motion using identical seeds.

Features

• Loopable wiggle motion via expressions or baked keyframes, based on seeded randomness for reproducible results
• Compatible with any numeric keyframeable property, including Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, Shape properties, Text animators, Puppet Tool pins, and plugin parameters
• Per-axis (X, Y, Z) frequency and amplitude control, with clamps to restrict motion ranges
• Perlin or Random Walk noise, with adjustable octaves (1–8) for Perlin and a seed input for deterministic output
• Start/End times set in seconds or SMPTE timecode via Comp In/Out, Work Area buttons, or manual input, with timecode validated against the comp frame rate
• Expression or Bake mode, with Additive or Clean baking options
• Handles multiple properties across layers in one pass and coordinates wiggle using identical seeds

Best for

After Effects artists who need seamless, repeatable wiggle loops for properties such as Position, Scale, camera shake, Puppet Tool pins, Text animators, or plugin parameters.
