  • Film Effect for Text

    Posted by Jeff Mcbride on December 4, 2006 at 9:28 am

    I need some help getting a graphic right. I want to simulate the look when a film is trying to reach speed and the picture bounces up and down and finally centers properly. I hope that is a good explanation. I’d like to do that with a piece of text and I’m not sure the best way to do it. I’ve tried The Wiggler and the Wiggle Expression, but I can’t keyframe it from rapid movement to still.

    I thought I saw this with an animation preset once, but I can’t find it currently. I’m using AE 7.0 Pro. Thanks for helping!

    Try adding an adjustment layer to your comp, apply the Offset effect, keyframe the Y-value then use “easy ease”.

    You can also add a “slider” expression control (under the effects menu) to the layer, and pickwhip the amplitude (select the amplitude text first) of your wiggle expression to the slider value. Then you keyframe the slider value down to zero.

    For the most customizablity, you might wanna hand-keyframe this. Usually, the shutter-jitters are really quick anomalies.
