Expressions Used:
Looping Fractal Noise:
(time/out_point)*(effect(“Evolution Amount”)(“Slider”)*360) // add to evolution property.
NOTE: you need to create a expression slider with the name “Evolution Amount” and link the Cycle Property to that as well.
Looping Wiggle:
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)

I’ve recently started a blog, the information you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work.
Thanks for the vintage film grain tutorial- I learned A LOT from this! Great episode!
p.s. your bobble head is scarily accurate
WOOOOO!!!! Thanks man!
Hi!
This is a very good tuto, thank you so much!
I just want to ask if it's possible to add a video "behind" that, instead of the blue background?
You totally can put video or any other element underneath this. IT would give a slide show or video a cool vintage flare.
amazing, thanx a lot!!!!
Okay, am I just doing something wrong? I'm copying and pasting the code in exactly as it says (I've also tried entering it manually) and I keep getting a syntax error…
