quiver, shiver

[Mike Clasby]

How about wiggle the layers position and/or scale?

wiggle(20,10)

Change numbers to taste.

yeah, I tried that. It’s got to be reallllllly subtle and fast. I’ve fooled around a little with liquify and I think I’m narrowing in on a good look. Thanks.

Dan’s quivering Squish and Squash expression could give you the look you want, don’t know why I didn’t think of it before:

maxDev = 20; // max deviation in pixels
spd = 50; //speed of oscillation
decay = 1.0; //how fast it slows down

x = scale[0] + maxDev*Math.sin(spd*(time -inPoint))/Math.exp(decay*time);
y = scale[0]*scale[1]/x;
[x,y]

This has different numbers for maxDev and spd from the original page:

https://www.motionscript.com/expressions-lab-ae65/squash-and-stretch.html

and is applied to the scale of a layer, just don’t move the anchor point to the bottom (unless you want to) as in the tut, since it’s not reacting to hitting the floor.
Even if it doesn’t work for you it’s fun to use (at least it was for me).

Otherwise, Hope you get the liquify you want.

Wow, thanks. It’ll be fun to try. L.
