Shake and Crop

After Effects presets (transform effect with hand made expressions) that allows you to apply shake and crop to chosen layers

Advantages over s_shake

1. Better performance

• If preset applying takes so long, clean your Support Files\Presets folder (the less presets you have in this folder, the faster applying is)
• If you need even better performance, just bake the expressions (you can use my other script for this: https://github.com/eirisocherry/camera-time-remapping)

2. Frequency keyframe animation is smooth and correct, performance expensive tho (in s_shake it's twitchy and incorrect)
3. Works in one space, when applied to a single layer (if you move the layer out the comp and move it back with another shake/crop, the edges of the layer won't be cut)
4. Anchor point controls
5. No plugins needed and free!

Installation

1. Download the shake-and-crop.zip.
2. Extract the folder with presets to:
