# Make a bell wiggle

Add irregular rotation to a bell without drawing rotation keys.

Start with a bell or another shape in a local document. Place its anchor where you want it to turn.

1. Click the bell on the stage. Its values appear in the rail (the Properties panel in After Effects or Figma).
2. Click **more** at the foot of the rail until **Behaviours** appears. The **On** choices select which property gets the behaviour.
3. Click **rotation** under **On**. It lights up.
4. Click **+ wiggle**. A **Wiggle · Rotation** block appears and the bell turns.
5. Click **more** again if the block's values are below the rail. **Frequency**, **Amount** and **Seed** come into view.
6. Press `0`. The playhead returns to the beginning.
7. Press `space`. The bell turns back and forth with irregular motion.
8. Press `space` again. Playback pauses.

Next: drag **Amount** to change the angle, or **Frequency** to change the speed.
