Good question, I've been waiting for it aswell, but no one seems to answer. It should have for sale since December. Perhaps it wasn't good

Can you give us an update on a projected launch date? I am super excited about this product and I can hardly wait to tell my boss buy it for my department so I can add it to my collection of all the other GREAT videocopilot products!

ohh, simply cant believe it! i m just planning a musicvideo, andhow to achieve random movements and flashes, and here you come with this gem... 
just an idea: if there would be a part (such as you have flash, that color thingie and blur parts) for opacity would be nice for adding more randomness.
thanks a lot dude!

wow, this looks amazing!! you're pheonomenal andrew!! any idea of when it will be released?
Just curious if you have any other plugins in the works, to release some sort of package of some sort.
You are my favorite After Effects guru and to now know you're working on a new plugin (or preset if you go that way) pretty much blew my mind and made my day! btw, LOVE the upgrade to your website!

it would be great if the color can be picked randomly from a gradient, like in trapcode particular....to do something that looks like shot in a night club

cool effect , can??´t wait
good stuff man... cant u do the same thing in editing programs using exposure(levels) and lenear blur?
Your correct Katie,
It uses the custom Effects hack. Once we finish developing the functions we will decide to upgrade it to plugin status or opt for compatibility for AE6.5, 7 & CS3 and keep it as an FX preset.

Hi Andrew, just wondering...where is the standard About button, I can't see it on your video. As far as I know by default all plugs have such button.
Twitch looks like a collection of controls driving some transform properties or some built-in effects already applied on the layer ?
Am I wrong or is it similar to "Custom Effects" created by editing the PresetEffects.xml file ?

That is awesome. I'm buying it for 24.95, before you jack up the price. Always a bargain at the copilot!

Lots of "twitch" this clip:

I'm really interested to hear more about adding Twitch to other AE effects/parameters! This is going to be good!

That reminds me a lot of the visual style and effects used in Man On Fire. Very cool stuff, I'm excited. Good work as always.
Very nice looking plugin. It's ironic really, because I was thinking of manually creating a very similar effect for a short film I'll be directing in October... This plugin, if it comes out in time, would def make a great addition to the effect I already had put together:

Its realy a great effect. I loved it.
I got a sugestion/request: Do you know that effect of the burning film used in many films like Tarantino's Grindhouse?
You can see it at the end of this trailer:
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=I6l-InqDHmA
Can you make a tutorial or plugin to do this effect? I think the use of this two effects together cam be awesome.

Nice AK! Looks like you can do a lot of the grindhouse effect with the twitch! Looking forward to it.

Great Plug, Andrew. will this plug be avail. by the end of the month. Just so happen Im shooting a music video. That has lots off BASS, and at certain times I would like to enhance the bass with the shake. And this would make my work that much faster.
Also will there be a pre order, before the actual release date. If so I want in.

Damn! That looks great!
But I got a question that I REALLY want your help with:
You probably know about the wellknown "burnt 8mm"-effect, with the orange/red/yellow colors fade-effect:
http://files-upload.com/files/500294/8mmburntAKVCP.mov (Probably not the most well-done, but you probably get the idea).
Is it possible to make anything similiar with this plugin or do you think you can fix a tutorial on that? I think it's a very hard thing to find a tutorial on, and I bet there's alot of youngpeople here that want to use that effect in their skatermovies and such.
Looking forward to trying this out! Keep on rocking Mr. Kramer .

Too many comments to see if this is addressed, but why is the frequency setting backwards from logical? More frequency is a lower number and less effect is a higher number?
Otherwise, this looks like a fantastic plugin. Of course, we all know why.

Very nice plugin Andrew.
This effect often appers in scary movies and "flashback scenes" etc.
Is there an option to make the movie twirl?
Thanx for the demonstration!

I hate to sound like a total dork, but being a HUGE Tony Scott fan (director of Man on Fire, Domino, Deja Vu, etc.), I had to break the news. While Andrew's effect looks like Tony's films, Mr. Scott actuall shoots on reversal film, which gives the sometimes random double imaged effect and random popped frames. Granted he edits like that too, but reversal film has a huge part in the effects process of what he does. Just my "Dork Note" for the day. And scene...

James Wan (Saw, Death Sentence) loves this effect. Incidentally, I do too.
I could see coupling this with the fake HDR blur tutorial you've got here for some great stuff. I could actually use this for a music video I'm working on soon, fingers crossed it's ready in time.

Also, not sure who mentioned it, but I found a way to save things you do in After Effects as a Preset. Not sure if that is the same thing you were mentioning, but it could be looked at like a plug-in type thing.
If you, everyone, my mother, already knew this, than fast forward past here. In fact, do not ever read this again.
In the Effects Controls panel, highlite the effects you want to save as a preset, go to ANIMATION> SAVE ANMATION PRESET
Save it out as whatever you want, in the presets folder under the AE directories would be ideal, and your all set. This can come in handy if you have a desired effect or look that you want to use a lot on different things.
Again, not really a plugin like Andrew is doing, but could be helpful to someone. If not, go back to line 5 & 6 of this post.

Really cool idea coming up with this Andrew. I will buy this when it comes out. I have a few ideas already with using it for different styles of video. I can see this coming in really handy.
And like you mentioned, motion graphics as well. A great timesaver from the looks of it.
Cant wait to see it, and the hidden features you have.
Good stuff bro.

Hey Andrew!
I recently discovered your site and have watched every single one of your tutorials and am absolutely in love with your work. You are amazing.
When I saw the beginning of this preview, the little precursor....my jaw literally dropped because I've been planning to do this little music video for a song in which I needed an effect like this and this is exactly what I need! I thought it was going to require me to do hours of work with keyframes and all that jazz, but yeah, this will save me tons of work. You totally rock.
Keep up the AMAZING work, I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials and effects in the future!

Really cool stuff - I'll use it in all my Japanamation... hehe, anyways, it's plain to see how this could be beneficial in so many different ways. I look forward to seeing it with some motion graphics (and maybe some weather simulation???). The artistic value it adds with just a couple clicks makes it worth it in itself.
Just a side note - I've got to say, this site is on my daily world-wide-web browse list. Even if there's not something new I watch the old to make sure it sticks. Rock on Prof. Kramer!

Do you know if there's a chance you'd make it work with After Effects 6.5? I wouldn't mind beta-testing.... (mildly serious, but also kind of joking in order to get my hands on it. )

It's things like Twitch that make me understand what a background in programming can do in tandem with AE. I spent roughly 5 years being educated in Computer Science and it's becoming clear what I can potentially achieve using these sensibilities applied to an app such as this. I just gotta get deeper into AE and figure out the links between the attributes and the algorithms!!!
Twitch looks great Andrew! I like it a lot.
Twitch looks great Andrew! I like it a lot.
C Light, I agree, the frequency should be reveresed but I tried to get it to work correctly but it was pretty difficult. So I explained to myself the whatever the number... Say 4 it would happen 1/4th of the time or 2 1/2 of the time.
But good news, I went back in to take a look and figured it out. Now, 100 is 100 percent of the time and 50 is half of the time. Thanks for bringing this up. It was much easier with a fresh mind.
As for shake on the x and y uniquely... perhaps in a future release but right now you can add twitch to a null object and have multiple Twitches working together to achieve that movement...
Don't forget about Motion Graphics, I didn't have time to demo this but it is pretty helpful for them too.

Wow, super cool. this is definitely a must have, especially at such a low price of 25 bucks. You don't even know how bad i wanted something like this for simulating weather (which i do a lot), and i swear to see it come from you made my week (which hasn't been going so good for the record). can't wait to get my hands on it and see it integrated into some tutorials. The possibilities are flowing. also, hope all is going awesome with the baby!! there really isn't anything u don't do huh?
P.S, only issue now is i have to add a seizure warning to all my videos... nintendo will like that

thank you boss for making this its one of the things i was looking for how to do it in editing specialy when you have to deal with radioactive footage with alot of flash backs , so you realase it we get put in AE and use it right away right.
How about making the x and y sliders in order to be able to shake it on the X only a little bit and a lot on the Y?
Wow! You are truly inspiring my man!
I wish I had all this stuff 2 years ago while working on my Supernatural Thriller!
Great work as always!

Maybe I should whisper this quietly, but if the Kramer ends up sticking near to the $24.95 price tag, that would be a disgustingly big bargain. You would have the pay hundreds, if not thousands to a decently-sized production company to achieve that kind of aesthetic. Alternatively, you could spend hundreds, if not thousands of hours trying to achieve it yourself manually. Anybody who knows anything about AE and VX knows $24 and change would be a great deal.

looks pretty neat, would have to play around with it to see how much it can actually be used. the light flicker seemed to produce a pretty good lightning effect, and I agree w/ bwoogie, could def. be used for artistic styles such as music vids... anyways, good work - lookin forward to the new, as always

Man, great job there! I ALWAYS wanted to make that effect without all the manual keyframing and wiggle parenting! So far I think it'll be a great tool, a very creative and practical concept.
Only thing that's not so cool is the $24.95... Oh, well, at least the tuts are still free, aren't they?

AK, I would have responded sooner but while I was watching the demo I had a seizure.
Anyway, the plug looks great. My feeedback is about the global frequency parameter. The values seem counter intuative. Zero is all on. If you want the frequency to go Down, you turn the value Up. I think you could fix this by making the values go negative, so when you change the value. Lower = less.
It would just make more sense to me, but hey, I'm recovering from a, a, Whoa I'm having a flashback!

Craig- that distortion effect can be created with in AE without any additional plugins. "Twitch" could probably be used to enhance it and add extra flavor. Try this out:

It's an older tutorial, but should do most of what you want.

Really nice Andrew, would save alot of time for anyone editing to fast paced music.
Great new plugin, Andrew!
so will this be an easy way to create a lightning effect?
Also, would I be able to make an expression of some of the parameters and pick whip it to, or from, a light to do 3D lightning effects?
And would it be controllable enough to simulate a flicking light from a candle or fire?
Can't wait for it to come out.

Looks awesome, I've been trying to achieve a very similar effect, but it doesn't look near as good as your plug-in !
Craig, This will very much be possible but not using TWITCH by itself. But using the Twitch engine I'm SURE a tutorial can be made to demonstrate this.
But that is precisely what the Auxiliary engine is for, making any effect Twitch. So as you can see from that example the logo is intact and randomly breaks up and returns back to the intact position. Using the wiggle expression would not work very well for this type of effect...

Very cool plug in. I think we could all make use of that one in some way. I can imagine a lot of amateur horror film makers licking their lips now as well.
Where do you find the time?
Where do you find the time?
I'm trying to save some surprises for the new site... but I can tell you that creating earthquakes will be very easy and very free.
As for TWITCH, it does not use the WIGGLE expression like the earthquake tutorial.
The wiggle expression is a constant modifier. Which means the value is constantly changing over time. Instead, Twitch uses a random algorithm that allows random values at individual points in time based on a frequency you set.
So in simple terms, if you set the frequency to 3 the video will Twitch 1/3 of the time randomly. So not just every third frame but accumulatively one third of the time. The higher the value the less likely your video will twitch.

Interesting plugin... plan on bundling a few presets with it as starting points? An "earthquake" preset, maybe? I know you already did a standalone tutorial on that effect, but I'm sure you can think of a few others.
Looking forward to playing around with it, presets or not.

Jordan, the dots are because the window had to be resized for recording. Yes, there is more that I'm not showing you. I have to have some surprises.
As for the prevalence, that is one of the reason this plug in is not free.

That is very cool. Definitely adds a very stylized effect. I fear that the ease you are bringing into it will make it much more prevalent and it will burn the effect out.
Two questions:
1. What were the little white dots in each line next to the various parameters? They look kind of like key frame toggles but I didn't think they were.
2. Is there more you aren't showing us? The effects window had a scroll bar so it looked like there was more below...

Andrew,
How does one actually make plugins? I looked at the possibility about a year ago. Something you can actually get from Adobe, but the language was way out of my league, using code and all.

Very interesting PlugIn. To be honest, I don't think that it is "unbelievable", but it seems to be very good!

This looks really awesome. I seriously can't wait. This will save me, and many others much time, and will probably get the job done better too. Looking really forward to release.

does it have an option to add video trails/time remaping? it reminds me of the effect in Thir13en Ghosts when each ghost would be seen minus the video stuttering. i know most people are thinking horror movies with this plugin so that might be a good option to add if its not in there.

Hey Andrew,
I'm stunned at how cool this is and how much time I know it will save. Reminds me of Grindhouse. I'd love to know what the "LA" and "title" tabs looked like in the demo.
Put me down for 1 order.

Wow this sounds great to me!!! I'm really excited to purchase it! Clients love the grunge!! I'm also excited about Riot Gear 2!! Not to mention the new site.....man there are a lot of things to be excited about here on VC!!!
No specific date or price set but I imagine a low price like $24.95 and well I am the boss of this company so what the hell.
I do a lot of this type of animation and I was fed up with manual labor. For every one thing you change, several things are happening at once so it will surely save you tons of time. I have a few testers using it now and they just love it. Specifically the ability to keyframe the effect and experiment easily.
They're will also be an auxiliary version that will allow you to twitch values of any parameter in After Effects... more on that later.

Wow, Andrew! Awesome!
When will the plug-in be released? And will you post a link or tell us when we can download it?

Kramer,
I'm surprised that you have any spare time to create - what with being a new dad and all.
What's your secret?
High energy drinks?
Keep up the good work.

Looks fantastic. Of course those kind of effects are possible without the plug-in, but as you say, it's aim is to make life a lot easier for the user. The bigger the ease of use, the more an artist can concentrate on the more important issues, like content, and on the how and when to implent such tools. So, I'll definitely be buying it when it's ready to be unleashed into the world. Can't, and frankly don't want to imagine how painstaking it was to design.
Great work, again.

Looks awesome Andrew. Is this for purchase or for download because I know I'd be more than willing to shell out some buckage for that plug-in.
Awesome stuff. Will this be a free plugin or something included on a future DVD release? I'm a huge horror movie buff and I think I could totally put this to use with my work. Thanks again AK

Sweet. Looks like you've built in plenty of control over the variables.
What's on the "LA" timeline? I was waiting for you to click on the tab, but you never did.

looks hot; i've been researching similar effects, so i'm looking forward to playing with it. any thoughts on release date/price?
also, while i've got you, would you recommend any books or websites for those of us interested in developing our own plug-ins? i'm taking the baby steps to that level of AE functionality & would appreciate any insight.
keep up the good work!

Wow, looks amazing. This would have been useful a few months ago. Like someone else said above, I'd love to see this for premier as well, as well as FMP.

Sounds like you to start teasing us again
I was looking to make a such effect a few month ago. Looking forward to the release.
Awsome work Andrew.

very cool effect, i'll be thinking of ways to use it.. always great work Mr. Kramer...
Thanks,
Currently no plans to create it for premiere but I will certainly find out what it would take to create it for Video Editing applications such as premiere, vegas and Final Cut.
Also there a few things not shown in this demo that will surely interest you when it is released.
