For removing shake the bui= lt in warp stabilizer is nice because you can scale and not completely remov= e shake. Lock and Load is a great plug in if you don't have 5.5 or 6 with wa= rp stabilizer.

I have to create camera shake all th= e time. I have a crime series that they always want to rock the camera more.= I like Sapphire S_Shake. I've built a few presets for a little shake, more s= hake, lots of shake. There are probably other plug ins for doing this but th= is is my go to filter for such a thing. Lots of nice randomizing controls fo= r x,y, rotation, motion blur, etc.

Hi all,
I've been attempting to solve this problem over a couple of p= rojects now and have always had to resort to a temporary patch. I've finally= caved and am going to see if the AE List can help.

I've filmed some tracking markers which I've tracked in A= E and generated keyframes to apply to my camera in order to simulate a reali= stic camera shake. That's all fine and works but what I'd like to do is to b= e able to scale these values, probably via an expression control effect on a= null or something like that - the reason I want to be able to scale is to a= /. tone down or up the overall effect and b/. scale the effect over time so t= hat shake increases over time for example.

The obvious (to me anyhow) approach would be to use an e= xpression that divides the position value by 2 (for example) in order to red= uce the amount of shake. That certainly halves the overall range of the posi= tion but it also shifts the camera's position to a new location as opposed t= o leaving the camera at the specified location but to wiggle it within the r= ange specified by the tracked motion.

Using parenting works but only if I don't scale the effe= ct. I get the sense that Dan Ebberts' article here is related but unfo= rtunately I've not been able to make the leap.

Thanks for any kind of help on this.
