    I hope I can move basing on camera's direction,so I set Binding Mode as World Space to get camera's X Axis 's value and I use it to rotate my character.
    A Character Controller is added on my character and I use CharacterController.Move(transform.forward * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime) in FixedUpdate() to move.
    In addtions,I add a Cinemachine Collider on camera to avoid seeing scene's insides.
    Now,when I move my character,I find my the camera is crazily shaking(the move speed bigger and the shaking more crazier).That's why? How I fix it?

    Jittery cameras can come from a number of sources. Most of the time it's a mismatch in the time clocks: characters moving on one clock, but the camera tracking on another (I'm talking about Update vs FixedUpdate).

    What is the Update Mode of your CM Brain?
    Do you have any other script that affects the player's transform outside of FixedUpdate?
    What version of Cinemachine are you using?
    Can you post a picture of your scene hierarchy that shows the main camera, the FreeLook, and the player?
