Hi.
Will you please redo all of the old tutorials in After Effects CC 2014, because some of the tools aren't working. Like, for instance, I'm trying to do this tutorial and I'm able to turn the Noise Type to Jagged and the Frequency to 15 seconds, but I am unable to change the Dimensions the Magnitude. Thanks.
There was a tutorial that I tried 2 weeks ago, but there was something that After Effects CC 2014 wouldn't let me do that you did in the version that you're working with.

Hey Andrew,
It's not often enough that you go searching for some help on a given task and find a tutorial that tells you everything you need. This was perfect for me and I love the amount of detail you're able to get in to such a short tutorial. Very informative. Thanks mate.

Man its like 3 years later, and your use of Motion Tile has saved me. I needed to use it to extend the edges of my clip since I had to shift it slightly yo match up with another clip…..Thanks soooo much

You're an awesome teacher. Watching as quite the novice, the things I learn from your tutorials transfer way beyond what you would probably expect being such a master. Much thanks man!!

Very nice...but im doing a particle effect with the wiggler effect so it looks really bad doing this, so i rather do the scaling and then back to the original...but anyways that's a pretty cool technique

The Wiggler really made that home run effect and using the Motion Tile effect to fill the blank area was fantastic. Thanks for this tutorial.

Hey Andrew, not sure if you still read any of the comments here but just want you to know that I learn so much more then I do on school. I mean, today I came to school and I already knew some classes where canceled due to sickness.
So I knew we only had one class. I came in and heard that our teacher also was sick, so basically I came to school for absolutly nothing. I decided to use my time wisely and went up to your site and thankfully that way I can still learn something so thank you

Hey Buddy, quick question. Is this what they use in the film 'Kick-Ass' I dont know if you have seen that film, but on high powered moments like gun shots and punches the camea shakes ect. You will understand if you have seen this film. Is this basically the same thing?

Nice technique but would it be better if first you did a slow motion where you want the camera shake to happen and would this emphasize the effect. Just an idea.

FYI - tutorial viewable in Firefox but cuts out at 0:45 using chrome. Other tutorials seem to work fine in chrome.
Thanks, keep up the good work.

Dear Andrew,
I was working a 3D title and wanted to add wiggler to it, so I had an idea to apply wiggler to 'camera' layer instead of the whole composition, that way i dont have those edges to worry about.
I hope somebody here finds it useful,
Thanks again for your great tutorials.
Sincirely,

The leg was missing (not complete: left leg) when you adjusted the size, it might need some keyframing.
Nice tut by the way, I see that this was the older version of Ae.
Thanks

Katrina,
The motionblur switch is the one that looks like 3 circles on top of each other. Sorry for the bad description. I think he mentions it in the "71. 3D Shadows" tutorial.
Hope this helps

I am very thankful for your great tutorials, thank you!
I have After Effects CS3 and I have a problem, to find "motion blur" option, does anyone know where to find it? And also when I apply some other blur, like Gaussian is it possible and how to apply that effect automatically just on animated part of the movie without setting the keys manually, like example with "motion blur" in the tutorial?

Dear Mr. Kramer,
Would you say using the Wiggler is a better effect? Or just shaking the camera while shooting is a better looking effect?
Just wanting to hear the pros and cons.
