How do I create a simulated “camera shake” effect (like an earthquake) in AE6.5?
This relates to my other post, as I have a ‘camera shake’ FFX file, that I can’t figure out how to install. So I’m wondering how can I create a camera shake effect from scratch? Basically I want to shake all the items on the screen as if an earthquake or strong thunder is shaking the camera. Anyone know how to do this?

Use the wiggler palette in conjunction with the X & Y position of the keyframes.

Do you still have expressions?

If this is the same as the other tutorial linked to, sorry. But I’ve written this one for my AE class and my students really like it.
Creating A Simple Camera Shake Using Motion Tile and Expressions
1) Apply Motion Tile to your video that you want to have the camera shake on
2) Apply an Expression Slider (Effects>Expression Controls>Slider)
3) On the “Tile Center” parameter, create an expression. (Option click on the stopwatch)
3) Enter for the expression:
wiggle(5,effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”));
4) Keyframe the expression slider to create the camera shake. Usually, you’ll want an abrupt change, then it decays to zero.
5) Turn on Motion Blur for the composition and the layer.
6) Turn on “Mirror Edges” in the Motion Tile settings.
You might need to crop your original video if you’ve got visible horizontal blanking on the edges. just precomp it and scale it up.

Hey, just a quick note for those of you using the Quaker animation preset: I’ve discovered that for some reason if you’re using Quaker on an adjustment layer (my preferred method) in AE7, you get borders between the image tiles. I don’t know why this is, as this method works fine in AE 6.5. I haven’t found a fix yet, and I’m no sure there is one, but I just thought I’d let you know since I haven’t posted aboything about this on my site.
