After Effects: Wiggle X, Y & Z independently

The wiggle tool is one of AE's most versatile and useful features, but many people wonder if they can wiggle one position dimension - X, Y or Z - independently of the others. Or wiggle X, Y & Z at difference frequencies and magnitudes. Well, you can, using the pretty simple expressions I describe in this vid.

How can you tell it to play the wiggle from time x to time y ?

[simonsaysfx]

You need to animate the wiggle using a slider expression control. If you google "wiggle slider control", you may get something useful.

hey i have the program but i dont seem to have the wiggler do you know were i can get it?

[simonsaysfx]

I believe the wiggler is only available in the pro version of the programme. The standard version lacks it.

[truestoryrealtalk]

do you know if theirs any plug ins for it?

if so can you tell me were i can get it..

[simonsaysfx]

There aren't any plugins for it. Even if you get hold of the effect file your version of AE won't recognise it. You would need to upgrade.

why can't they just make the wiggle effect where you DON'T HAVE TO TYPE EXPRESSIONS! ugh i hated math in high school, i stink at logic, and no matter how much i try at this i still have the hardest time grasping it. it's rather discouraging :(
