Linear wipe + wiggle

Hello everyone!

I'm stuck whit what I think is a newbie problem and I would appreciate any input on how to solve it.

The thing is that I have a keyframed animated linear wipe on several rectangles that are mirrored so they act as a "curtain" and reveal the video underneath when they open from the center. I have keyframed the In & Out animations. The problem is that I can't find a way to add a wiggle effect on the linear wipe that works only in the span of time when the curtains are open.

All info I can find is related to keyframe the wiggle effect with the slider control. Is there a way to add a wiggle to an already keyframed linear wipe?

Thanks!

wiggle() is always additive, so there is no problem here whatsoever, but yes, you need to keyframe the amplitude if you want to restrict it to a specific time.

Thanks! As I thought it was a newbie issue because I was so focused trying to use effect("Linear Wipe #")(1) to script some code with the wiggle expression instead of looking at the simplest solution that was just to REPLACE the line with the wiggle expression...ockham's blade at it's finest
