EXPRESSIONS:
Randomly chooses a point in time in a precomp when applied to the "Time Remap" property, based on the number selected on the Slider effect its linking to, in the third line:
seedRandom(0,true); // Chooses a static random seed.
r = random(0,1); // generates random value between 0 and 1 second, in frames.
r + effect("Number")("Slider") //Make sure to name your slider effect on this layer to "Number"
Applies an continuous animation to the first dimension in a property with multiple dimensions E.g. Scale, position, etc:
[time*100,0]
