    Hi Guys,

    Been searching everywhere, trying to find tutorial where whole screen shakes – it was Andrew Kramer’s I think – where a guy hits a baseball….does anyone have a link?

    I haven’t seen that tutorial, but you can use the Wiggler (Window > The WIggler) to create the shake.

    make a new Null, attach all layers in your shot to the Null.

    apply this expression to the Position parameter:

    n = position.numKeys;
    if (n > 0){
    t = time – position.key(n).time;
    if (t > 0){
    freq =8;
    amplitude = 10;
    decay = 6.0;

    s = amplitude*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
    e = amplitude*Math.sin(freq*t*1*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t)

    value + [s,e]
    }else{
    value
    }
    }else{
    value
    }

    then add a keyframe for position at the time you want your “impact”

    I really like Scott Frizzle’s free preset “Quaker” for shaking things up:

    https://www.scottfrizzle.com/free_quake.html

    Comes with a pdf and movie. Easily controlled with sliders for Quake Magnitude, Quake Frquency and Motion Tile (fills in the gaps so you don’t have to size-up the fottage before you shake it and create gaps along the edges).

    As a preset, just use Animation > Apply Animation Preset and navigate to where the quaker.ffx file is (or drop it in your folder >Support Files > Presets.

    Scott also has some nice free Particular setups available also.
