Fractal Wipe (Linear)
Applies a linear wipe with distortion and fractal noise for a more irregular look. Use as a track matte. Creates a new comp-sized solid (apply with no layer selected). Further refine and experiment with Turbulent Displace and Fractal Noise effect controls.
| Completion | Transition completion from 0-100% |
| Wipe Angle | Angle of wipe |
| Width | Width of fractal/gradient area (aka feathering) |
| Distortion Speed | Evolutions Turbulent Displace goes through during the transition |

| Fractal Noise | Further refine and experiment with standard effect controls |
Look At Me (NEW!)
Added February 2018
Apply to a 2D layer and it will point at the selected layer in the comp. Includes controls for a delay and manual rotation offset. (3D support coming in a later release.)

| Look At Me | Layer to point at |
| Delay (s) | Time delay |
| Rotaion Offset | Manually add or subtract rotation |
Measurements
Lists out the bounding box measurements of the layer the preset is applied to. Great for creating a box around type (link rectangle size to Measurements size) or attaching layers to the edge or center of another layer.
| Sample Current Time | Get measurements at Playhead/Current Time Indicator (CTI) |
| Sample Time | Time measurements are being taken in seconds from layer Start Time |
| Use Layer Scale | Adjust measurements based on layer scaling |
| Composition Space | Adjust measurements to the composition instead of layer space |
| Padding | Add padding to all edges of measurement (in pixels) |
| Size | Width and height of bounding box (in pixels) |
| Center | Center of bounding box (in pixels) |
| Top-Left | Top left corner of bounding box (in pixels) |
| Bottom-Right | Bottom right corner of bounding box (in pixels) |
Oscillate
Outputs the result of Sine, Cosine, Square, Sawtooth, and Triangle waves. Includes controls for minimum and maximum results, and ability to sample time from the layer or comp. Point another property (like position or scale) to the result for an easy oscillating animation.
| Result | Pickwhip/link a property to here to have it controled by the wave |
| Wave | The type of wave produced (Sine, Cosine, Square, Sawtooth, or Triangle) |
| Invert Wave | Flip the result of the wave |
| Wave Duration (s) | Length of wave in seconds |
| Min/Max Value | Minum and maximum result of wave |
| Time (seconds) | Time used to calculate wave, can be linked to a different property (see expression comments( |
| Use Comp Time | By default, use comosition time to calculate wave |
| From In Point | Start time from layer In Point instead of using comp time. |
| Time Multiplier | Moves time faster for a higher frequency wave |
| Time Offset | Add or subtract from Time to get that wave just right. |
Speed Racer (NEW!)
Added February 2018
Select a layer and the preset will convert the speed (based on position) to range of your setting. Useful for controlling scale, particle count/color/size, or any other parameter from the speed of another layer. Use an expression pickwhip to point to the Result of the effect.

Tape Measure
Measure the length and angle between two points. Useful for pointing one layer at another or just finding the distance between two layers.
| Start/End | Points to measure—can be pickwhipped/linked to other layer positions |
| Length | Linear measurement of length between points in pixels |
| Width | Difference of x-axis in pixels between points |
| Height | Difference of y-axis in pixels between points |

Type On Cursor
Adds a type-on effect with a leading cursor to type. Includes controls for type of cursor (including custom), frequency, and color.
| Completion | Type transition completion from 0-100% |
| Cursor Enabled | Show cursor |
| Cursor Type | Different types of cursors—custom cursor is defined in Source Text expression |
| Blink Frequency | Number of times cursor flashes per second when type is not animating |
| Cursor Pause | Time in seconds after type stops animating before cursor begins blinking again |
| Cursor Color | Color of cursor |
Type Window (v15+/CC2018+) (NEW!)
Added February 2018
Apply to a text layer and this preset will create a dynamic mask fitting the type. Useful for text reveals or hides. Includes controls for padding and offset.
An additional preset with a text animator already applied and animated is inlcuded. (conigs_TextWindow-Reveal).

| Sample Time | Time from layer Start Time where measurement is taken—make sure this is a time where type is not animated so the mask not changing |
| Padding | Add padding to all edges of mask |
| Offset | Adjust positioning of mask |
Wavy Line
Creates a wavy line with controls similar to Zig Zag. Includes an offset control to animate the wave. Creates new shape layer (apply with no layer selected).

| Centered | Center the line if checked, start the line at the anchor point if not |
| Wave Size | Height of waves |
| Ridges | Number of waves along line (identical to Zig Zag operator) |

| Wiggle X | Maximum horizontal wiggle in pixels |
| Wiggle Y | Maximum vertical wiggle in pixels |
| FPS | Frames per second of wiggle |
| Similarity | Likelihood of adjascent letters to move in the same direction |
