Adjust this filter using the parameter controls in the Filters Inspector:

  • Twist: Sets the amount the image is rotated as it is displaced.

  • Horizontal Shake: Sets the maximum amount the image is displaced horizontally.

  • Vertical Shake: Sets the maximum amount the image is displaced vertically.

  • Layers: Sets the number of copies of the original image that are overlaid. Larger values create a motion-blurred effect.

  • Epicenter: Sets the position of the center of the earthquake, around which the Twist occurs. You can also drag the center onscreen control in the Canvas.

  • Random Seed: Sets the value of the random seed used to determine which frames are changed by the filter.

  • Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image to be blended with the distorted image.

  • Publish OSC: Publishes the filter’s onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro X. For more information on creating content for use in Final Cut Pro, see Final Cut Pro templates overview.
