| Name | Shows in the mixer overlay. Give layers on two Rigs' handhelds the same name (and the same Makes and Plays) and they carry on as one motion across a blend, so the breathing never restarts. | none |
| On | Off, this layer adds nothing. | on |
| Makes | What kind of motion this layer makes. Choices: Noise: smooth random wander, Kick: a push that springs back, Wave: a steady rhythm, Curve: your own keyframes, Stride: locked to footfalls, Response: follows a value through a spring. | Noise: smooth random wander |
| Plays | When it plays while its shake runs. Choices: Continuously, Once, when the shake starts, Every time an event happens, Over and over. | Continuously |
| When | For Every Time An Event Happens: which event. Choices: Any footstep, Left footstep, Right footstep, Landing, Jump, Crouching, Standing up, Burst, Jolt (fighting momentum), Whip pan, FOV punch, Rumble, Named event. | Any footstep |
| Event Name | For a named event: its name, as sent with Send Camera Event. | none |
| Repeat By | For Over And Over: what it counts between repeats. Choices: Seconds, Centimetres the camera travels. | Seconds |

| Reacts To › Rises Over (s) | Seconds for the strength to rise to a new level. Short is responsive, long is a slow swell. | 0.15 |
