You should be able to make this do what you want:

fadeTime = .2;
minDur = 1.5;
maxDur = 4;

seedRandom(index,true);
t0 = inPoint - random(maxDur);
t1 = t0 + random(minDur,maxDur);
while(t1 < time){
 t0 = t1;
 t1 = t0 + random(minDur,maxDur);
}
t = Math.max(0, time - t0);
if (t < fadeTime)
 ease(t,0,fadeTime,0,100)
else
 ease(t,fadeTime,2*fadeTime,100,0);

Subject: [AE] expression - animating layer opacity on/off

I'm doing some traditional 2D animation using layers created by a watercolorist.

I need to animate opacity for a mouth open layer on and off within a constrained temporal randomness.

Expression variables:

Minimum and maximum duration between opacity transitions.

Length of transition between 0 and 100% opacity.

Thanks much,

James
