    Hi can anybody help……I need to animate some serious camera shake…….like if an earthquake has just kicked off….
    I’m guessing an expression on the position…..but I need the shake to tail off as if the earthquake was just a tremor….
    could that be done using markers & expressions……
    pleaseee help

    cheers

    You might want to checkout Quaker, an Animation Preset free from Scott Frizzle. It’s a gem.

    https://scottfrizzle.com/free.html

    Applying Preset the first time:

    Select the layer you wish to affect, and go to Effect > Apply Favorite.
    Find Quaker on your harddrive and select it (quaker.ffx).
    (If you put it in your Abode After Effects>Support Files > Presets folder, it will always appear in your Preset menu.)

    Quaker incorporates motion tile to fill in the edges of the shaking layer. It is also very adjustable, sliders to control Quake Magnitude and Quake Frequency. A pdf comes with the zip that explains all.

    He’s got the wrong quicktime linked to Quaker on the page, but the zip has the sample Quicktime and the preset.
