Set the Wiggle/sec value by using the slider in the Effect Controls window (preset to values
between 0 and 30), by dragging the underlined Wiggle/sec value (to a value from 0 to
100), or by clicking the Wiggle/sec value and typing a number from 0 to 100.
Displacement Variation Determines how far the stroke moves from its original position
while wiggling. The greater the value, the greater the deviation in shape.
No Displacement Variation (left), Medium Displacement Variation (center), and High Displacement
Variation (right)
In the Effect Controls window, set the Displacement Variation value by clicking it and
typing any number between -30,000 and 30,000, or by dragging the Displacement
Variation slider. To increase the intervals, hold down Shift as you drag.
Displacement Detail This value determines how much the original shape of the path is
altered while wiggling. Greater values increase the detail of displacement (or change in
shape) in the stroke. Lower values produce less displacement, leaving the path closer to its
original shape.
When Displacement Detail values are set very high, the stroke may not resemble its
original shape at all. This is useful in creating randomly animated strokes.
Low Displacement Detail (left), Medium Displacement Detail (center), and High Displacement Detail
(right)
Set the Displacement Detail value by using the slider in the Effect Controls window (preset
to values between 0 and 100) or by clicking the underlined Displacement Detail value and
typing a number between 0 and 1000.
Selecting pressure settings (PB only)
Note: Strokes that do not have either Stylus Radius or Stylus Opacity options selected are
not affected by the Wiggle Pressure Settings. However, these options can be enabled even
when a tablet is not installed.
To make the Radius and Opacity of mouse-drawn strokes wiggle, select those strokes in
the Composition window, and then select the Stylus Radius and Stylus Opacity options in
the Effect Controls window.
