- In your after effects file, select the layer that you want to shake.
For this example, I have an image of pancakes and then some stars. I want to apply a wiggling or shaking effect to both of these layers, so I will repeat these steps for both objects. - Pressing the alt/option key, click the stopwatch beside “position.”
When you see the position text turn red and begin typing in the timeline, you are creating what is called an “expression” in After Effects. Using a coding language adapted from javascript, you can use all sorts of customizable commands to apply complex motion to layers. Discover the other things you can do with expressions here.
You can edit your expression at any time by hitting alt/option on the stopwatch again—or by pressing the down arrow beside “position” and then double-clicking the text in the timeline. - Type “Wiggle (3,8)” and adjust the settings as necessary.
The first number in this expression represents the frequency of the wiggle—essentially, how fast it appears to shake. The second number represents the amplitude of the wiggle, which is how far it moves. You can adjust these numbers however you would like. Wiggle (2,40) will make a layer shake dramatically, but slow. Wiggle (10,3) will make a layer dart around quickly without moving too much in any one direction. - Optional: Adjust the frame rate of your composition.
If you want more of a jerky wiggle instead of something smooth, you can reduce the frame rate of the video to make the overall effect more “choppy.” Go to Composition > Composition settings and lower the frame rate. 24.5 is standard in After Effects. Something like “12” will give you a choppier feel, but you can go as low as “8.”
Note: Reducing the frame rate will make your entire composition choppier—so if you have other moving elements in your comp, it might not make sense to apply to everything. If you only want the frame rate to affect your wiggling object, create a pre-comp containing the wiggling layer(s) and adjust only that frame rate.
Rather than applying CC Ball to the text layer, use it to create a luma mask based off a noise pattern then blurring the result. The underlying text layer needs glow/blur to create the diffused edge to each character (in real life caused by a badly-focused electron gun, so it really is 'behind' the pixel mask), then probably another glow on top of everything.
