how do I make camera movements look more “human”?
I want to use the camera like a 1st person POV shot, where he’s looking around a room kind of frantic, but even adding many keyframes, it doesn’t seem realistic. I imagine there’s some sort of shortcut to make camera movements look more frantic and realistic, any help would be great. thanks!

You want to wiggle both the position and rotation using a wiggle expression. This is added on top of your already existing motion.
Try this for position:
wiggle(2,10)
This will wiggle the value 2 times a second up to 10 pixels off the current position. Change those numbers to taste.
I’d then precomp the whole thing, and use a wiggle expression on the nested comps rotation – wiggle(2,1) 1 degree of rotation may be a lot more than you expect. Again play around.
Or if its a 1 point camera (no point of interest) you can add the wiggle directly to the camera’s Z rotation.
