Lynda.com - Adobe After Effects CS4 Wiggle Transform Tips
Wiggle Transform Tips was created and produced by
Trish and Chris Meyer. We are honored to host their material in the
lynda.com Online Training Library®.
After Effects CS4 features a new operator for shape layers: Wiggle
Transform. This useful tool can automatically animate the anchor point,
position, rotation, and scale of a layer without having to use
expressions or animation presets. In After Effects CS4: Wiggle
Transform Tips, Chris and Trish Meyer present helpful advice for using
Wiggle Transform to its full potential. For example, they show how to
combine it with the Repeater operation to create writhing, pulsing,
wiggling masses of automatically animating shapes.
This video assumes prior knowledge of how to use shape layers inside
After Effects. For an introduction to this topic, we recommend watching
the "shape layers" movie from After Effects CS4: Apprentice's Guide to
Key Features in the lynda.com Online Training Library®.
