Wiggle Transform Tips

A small but very useful feature slipped into After Effects CS4 was a new Wiggle Transform operator for Shape Layers. When used by itself, it allows the user to automatically animate the anchor point, position, rotation, and scale of a layer without having to use expressions or animation presets; when used in conjunction with the Repeater shape layer operator, it enables the creation of writhing, pulsing, wiggling masses of shapes. However, there are a few tricks involved in getting it to do exactly what you want - so we created a video outlining these tricks as well as other related tips. Click the Play Video link below to watch it.

Hi Chris and Trish,
    I’ve been playing around with screenflow lately and one thing that bugs me is that I’ve not been able to figure out where screenflow stores the captured footage. It shows up on the timeline, I know my harddrive space has been used up. I’ve exported and scaled down my QTs, and my harddrive space is still used up! If I knew where the original capture was, I’d clean it up. Have you observed this? or is it just me? And thanks for such great articles, tips, tricks, expertise, and info. You guys are great!

A ScreenFlow project is actually a “package” that contains the project file plus the media. Right-click on the project file and selet Open Package Contents to see the content, saved in their proprietary .scc format. I understand their attempt to make things easy by bundling it together, but ultimately it’s kind of a pain that you have to duplicate the content every time save the project under a new version number, plus it makes it harder to share content between projects.

thanks for the kind words -
Chris
