Heartbeat Effect

[user_deleted]

hello everyone,

was wondering if someone can suggest me a way to simulate in shake the typical hearbeat wave. I am sure it is possible to create some kind of expression, meybe in the WarpX node to warp a white line..but then what about the movement?

Thank you very much to all suggestions

Try this for starters.
Copy and paste the following into the node view.

RotoShape1 = RotoShape(2048, 604, 1, "v3.01", 0, 0, 0, 1, 1,
xScale, width/2, height/2, 0, 0.5, 0, 384, "100W@eO000VDhsuH9RYbMXHCo8dnAPaUenMPAus094CWR3CJY0Aq1C0GpjqGXQK3lE3C0XCqK4lE5DzbVJoletWoll@apnn0fWyldBN5DdFJ5r8u1DLG0JGQ0DH5Bi8rIF0DmNiBT4XPkfbeJ7WRLGzsKDEPe2gRBVdB2cqYBFDZGuNsXknka1ExkLOm1nGmSPify0Rgfw690COhYP4S3#WZA1X9GyWb05JSp3CGV14EmO3fESU06JDeX66e3z0WiRW16JnBa0#uDHEAzjUpx1UXz7#8htC@HrtdiD3vEzru7K8J1ykVGf1vcu@ZY9G93u7P9SviyPRuC3DCNU9oT6yYo2IozAoWmxQLsYfupt@xuTSxtkVFW1EoEoQAlWCMWUT#0pwNomQmFflzErdsxNU5sx@cIsQ@QFsanKuDK1ednFe6pbYU@h4PrRuBtgj#eQcGibZViPKTNXP@0y0bIwFmhAkMclliyKUjjsPxdG@2RP@9zvu#w4ys@zo7uYbyFGOyh0bU#X8Vmevp0EtNN3COU10klyv#vFmAuWin9oroskfzFUSN71hDGV#UwukYfvHozIAa5WaF2Y7XVBFm502YyWK6nZj2IIS3@9EWV80AsXopYXg1oVWC9Dm4MiJZ00aWWMusWP00000F4");

EdgeDetect1 = EdgeDetect(RotoShape1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, xBlur/GetDefaultAspect(),
0, xDilateErode/GetDefaultAspect(), 0, 0, "Sobel", 8, 1);
CCrop1 = CCrop(EdgeDetect1, 50, 224, 413, 604);
Zoom2 = Zoom(CCrop1, 4, 1, "default", 0);
Tile1 = Tile(Zoom2, 7, 1);

Awsome! Thank you

hmm.. i'd start off with something like this:
(although i'm sure there must be a better way to do the smooth off on the motion blur)

CODE

Cool!this is exactlely what I was looking for, thank you so much

glad it helped a bit, but i was actually hoping somebody would improve that crude script as i'm pretty new to shake myself.

this is actually a thing which probably would be much easier to do in after effects or even motion, but shake is just so much more fun
