    Did you search the COW for “camera shake”?

    There is a linear way to create camera shake using the wiggler at the bottom.
    You can also use the wiggle expression and apply it to your target and your camera position.

    Good luck,
    Andrew

    Quaker, at the bottom of this page:

    A least with this you won’t have to have a problem with losing resolution (size) as you shake the layer if done with a position expression. Quaker fills in the gaps it makes. This isn’t an expression, but a preset, it may or may not work for you, but it’s free and a fun/useful item.

    Apply this to your clips position proprty: wiggle(.5,20)

    and this to its rotation property: wiggle(.5,2)

    dork around with the numbers until you get something you like.

    I’m trying to use a wiggle expression on the Position property but I only want to wiggle the horizontal. I can’t figure out how to limit it to the x axis. Is there any way to do this without the Wiggler? I’m on 5.5 w/o PBundle.

    thanks – Mike

    it’s been asked before, so do a search for “wiggle one axis” for some more explanations,
    but here’s the jist:


    p=position;
    w=position.wiggle(.5,20);
    [w[0],p[1]];
