  vibrate or shake effect

  Posted by Tim Silva on February 16, 2007 at 3:49 pm

  I’m looking for a nice automated way to apply a vibrate or shake effect to text or an image.
  What do you suggest?

  Thanks,

  Tim

  I suggest you click on ” COMMON AFTER EFFECTS QUESTIONS — PLEASE LOOK HERE FIRST by Joel Hooton ” right at the top of the AE forum page.

  Good luck.

  Hey!

  Alt-click on the stopwatch for POSITION for the layer you want to shake. type the following in the text box that pops up next to it:

  wiggle(10,20)

  The first number is the times to wiggle each second, and the second is how many pixels maximum (I think it’s maximum?) to wiggle. So the above says to wiggle 10 times each second, in a range of 20 pixels. You can change the numbers to whatever you want.

  Turn on motion blur for the layer and for the comp, and that should about do it.
