User Guide.
FriskyMotion transforms static camera movements into believable handheld footage through subtle imperfections and natural sways. This guide details every control to help you craft motion that feels dynamic and real.
Get Started in 3 Steps
Choose a Preset
Start with a preset that matches your scenario: Handheld, Walk, Run, or SteadyCam.
Adjust Intensity
Fine-tune the Shake, Wobble, and Gait amounts to match your desired feel.
Test and Refine
Preview your animation and adjust individual parameters until the motion feels natural and believable.
Core Motion Effects
Preset
Pre-configured motion profiles for common camera scenarios. Choose from None, Handheld, Walk, Run, or SteadyCam to instantly apply realistic motion settings for different shooting styles.
Shake Amount
Controls the intensity of high-frequency camera shake. Higher values create more pronounced handheld movement.
Wobble Amount
Manages low-frequency sway and drift that mimics natural camera movement. This creates the gentle, organic motion that makes footage feel human-held rather than mechanical.
Gait Amount
Simulates the vertical bounce from walking or running. Automatically responds to camera velocity, creating realistic step-based motion that scales with movement speed.
Micro Shake
Adds subtle, high-frequency vibration for ultra-realistic handheld feel. Use sparingly—this creates the fine details that separate professional handheld work from basic camera shake.
Motion Control
Speed Influence
Controls how motion intensity scales with camera velocity. Higher values make motion more pronounced during fast movements, while lower values maintain consistent motion regardless of speed.
Always On
When enabled, motion effects remain active even when the camera is stationary. Disable for motion that only occurs during camera movement, or enable for continuous subtle movement.
Target Item
Links motion to a specific object in your scene. The camera will naturally follow and respond to the target's movement, creating more organic motion patterns.
Advanced Settings
Envelope Control
Allows animation of motion parameters over time. Create dynamic motion that evolves throughout your shot, from subtle to intense or vice versa.
Threshold
Sets the minimum camera movement required to trigger motion effects. Higher values prevent motion during very small movements, while lower values make motion more sensitive.
Per-Axis Controls
Position Influence
Controls how much motion affects X, Y, and Z position. Adjust each axis independently to create custom motion patterns that match your specific needs.
Rotation Influence
Manages motion impact on Heading, Pitch, and Bank rotation. Fine-tune which rotational axes are affected by motion for precise control over camera orientation.
