I'm trying to create the vibration effect similar to the one in the soyuz animation tutorial in vue pro. I followed and was able to create it but when you select look ahead in the animation tool box of the main camera that seems to be the only way to animate the camera so the sun appears to vibrate ( well the camera vibrating and the sun vibrates in the view of the camera, sun is not moving)If you don't select the look ahead option the sun vibrates with the camera like it's locked to it and then the sun appears still in the animation with everything else moving. Is this normal or is there something I can do to change it. The reason is I'm moving the camera into different positions and if I do this afterwards in the timeline the camera won't stay when I start to move it it will swith to "look ahead" setting of whatever you set it at x, y, or z automatically. Thanks Patrick

In that tutorial, if my memory is good, it is about vibrations/shaking along X, Y, Z on the camera position. It's along space 3d-positions. Hum... I have not a good answer to you, But here my 2 cents with a trick... To make "fake-nice-dirty-classical vibrations" it is to have them along the orientations (pans) keys! So here the trick (I used that way a lot in the past): the camera has its orientations keys created by an animated blind (not rendered) objects! A moving cube. You have many positions keys with that cube. That cube give the orientation to the camera with its own path. Now let's put some vibrations on that cube. You'll see...that work!
Hope that's help.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but I made a cube, made it vibrate and then linked the camera to it. The camera then vibrated but the sun vibrated right along with it. maybe thats not what you are saying it sounds like what you are doing is a little more advanced than what I understand. But thanks I'll see if I can figure out what you mean by trial and error. ( usually more error ha ha) thanks again

Always put vibrations at the end of the work. That's mean: link things before vibrations or anything else in animation tool box options. Good luck.

Ok I tried that but the sun still moves with the camera, but if I check on "look ahead" in the animation toolbox of the camera the sun sun stops moving with the camera. If I then uncheck "look ahead" the sun starts moving with the camera again, I really don't understand what the "look ahead" setting on the camera has anything to do with making the sun move or not, it shouldn't really effect that. I'm trying to make the camera vibrate after an airplane fly's by and it does vibrate but with the sun not moving in the animation it really doesn't look like the camera is even shaking, it just looks like the airplane is. thanks again
