Also, I should add that there should be no space between the Greater Than (or Lesser Than) symbol and the Equal symbol.

Re: EQ Animation using AE Expressions

Hi Harry,

It should work if you enter the following;

Eq = value + wiggle (8,70)
if (Eq >= 136) Eq = !value+100
if (Eq <= 0) Eq = !value + 5
Eq

Basically, the greater than or lesser than symbol has to appear before the equals symbol. Also, your second "if" on line 3 was capitalised. Once those two things are corrected it should work.

Hope that helps,

Matt
