Vibrating image

You’ll need to add the wiggle expression to the position property

wiggle(freq, amount)

set the freq to your framerate for complete chaos.

Sorry Tyler, where do you find the effect, wiggle in position property?

Read the section in the manual on expressions.

That text in Tyler’s post is meant to be entered as an expression for the position property, with numbers of your choice entered in place of the words in brackets.

But it will show the edges of your clip, so you’ll have to scale up the clip to hide the edges.

[Tyler Paul]

I remember reading that there was another solution to having to scale your image. Anyone know what that was?

You can create an Adjustment Layer, Add the Motion Tile Effect, and add the ‘wiggle’ to the Tile Center.

For it to roll off of the Wiggle effect, just add a slider control. Call it CAMERA SHAKE. Add this Expression to the Tile Center

Shake=effect(“CAMERA SHAKE”)(“Slider”);
wiggle(20,Shake)

Then just keyframe the slider control from 100 to 0 or whatever you’d like 🙂

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,
that way 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.

I know exactly what you are talking about. The key to the fight club shot was that you could actaully see the film!!! Meaning you could see the little holes on the right and left of the film when it was shaking. I would either use an expression like everyone is talking about or motion sketch or there are plugins the most important part of that Fight club shot was the other element that was not seen until the shake began and that element was revealed via the shake. So when you figure out your method create your other element and parent it to your footage outside the comp window so when the shake begins it will be seen.
