Every had one of those days where you had to create a 240 layer After Effect animation with a bunch of nodes that have lines connect in between and then have to animate the whole thing? Yes, we all have had that day.

This video will help you make your day a little more productive by simplifying the process, the same techniques used to create the circle nodes with interconnected lines is broken down in this version. All that is left to do is stamp out 200 layers of the connections and then you get a coffee break.

Like to see what you create, share your results in the discussion. The code used to control the animation follow:

scalespeed=thisComp.layer("SCALE").effect("ScaleSpeed")("Slider");
scaleamount=thisComp.layer("SCALE").effect("ScaleAmount")("Slider");
w=wiggle(scalespeed,scaleamount);
[w[0],w[0]]

positionspeed=thisComp.layer("SCALE").effect("positionspeed")("Slider");
positionamount=thisComp.layer("SCALE").effect("positionamount")("Slider");
wiggle(positionspeed,positionamount);


Where ever you see "SCALE" in the expression rename it to the name of your layer that you use to hold your sliders on.
