Expression for Wiggle only horizontal & uneven
by Areful Eeslam on May 26, 2012 at 11:46:03 am

HI, i was wondering what would be the expression for wiggling only horizontal perspective. Imagine a camera is panning or shaking left & right very fast to create a dramatic effect but not like earthquake and the velocity is uneven but smooth.

Hope someone can help.

Regards

Have you tried something like this:

amp = 15;
freq = 1;
w = wiggle(freq,amp);
[w[0],value[1],value[2]]

Sorry, I thought you were going to apply it to a camera or a 3D layer. Try it this way:

amp = 15;
freq = 1;
w = wiggle(freq,amp);
[w[0],value[1]]

Please dont bother i got by right by chaining the value.

amp = 40;
freq = 10;
w = wiggle(freq,amp);
[w[0],value[1]]

works for me fine.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Keyframing a slider for amplitude should work fine. Frequency is a different story altogether. Is that what you're trying to do?

amp = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
freq = 10;
w = wiggle(freq,amp);
[w[0],value[1]]

No actually i did a silly mistake. I was suppose to pickwhip to slider in the value which is amp = slider, but i accidentally removed the (=) & getting error. It was a minor thing when i made it again from the scratch it worked. Anyways thanks for your help again Dan i really appreciate it.
