It's not really a case of wanting to remov= e the shake, just wanting to tweak it. Sapphire sounds great but unfortunat= ely I haven't got a lazy $1,700 :-(

I have to create camera shake all the time. I have a cr= ime 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 shake, lots o= f shake. There are probably other plug ins for doing this but this is my go= to filter for such a thing. Lots of nice randomizing controls for x,y, rot= ation, motion blur, etc.

Hi all,

<= div>I've been attempting to solve this problem over a couple of project= s 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 tr= acked in AE and generated keyframes to apply to my camera in order to simul= ate a realistic camera shake. That's all fine and works but what I'= d like to do is to be able to scale these values, probably via an expressio= n 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 t= he effect over time so that shake increases over time for example.=A0

The obvious (to me anyhow) approach would be to use an = expression that divides the position value by 2 (for example) in order to r= educe the amount of shake. That certainly halves the overall range of the p= osition but it also shifts the camera's position to a new location as o= pposed to leaving the camera at the specified location but to wiggle it wit= hin the range specified by the tracked motion.

Using parenting works but only if I don't scale the= effect. I get the sense that Dan Ebberts' article=A0here=A0is related but unfortunately I've not been able to make the leap.

Thanks for any kind of help on this.
