Help with camera bobbing

The code here works perfectly fine, however as you can see in the attached video, when stopping the head bobbing also stops immediately and I find this really jarring.

The code

local function onUpdate() -- Runservice
	-- Camsbobbing
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then	-- If walking
		local currentCF = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
		local x = math.cos(tick() * Walkspeed) * WalkpowerX
		local y = math.abs(math.sin(tick() * Walkspeed)) * WalkpowerY
		local cf = currentCF * CFrame.new(x, y, 0)

		Camera.CFrame = cf
	else	-- If standing still
		local currentCF = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
		local y = math.abs(math.sin(tick() * 1)) * 0.5
		local cf = currentCF * CFrame.new(0, y, 0)

		Camera.CFrame = cf
	end
end

When the camera stops moving you are instantaneously setting the CFrame to the idle position. If you want to transition smoother since it’s RunService use CFrame lerping from the current camera CFrame towards this goal CFrame.

I had originally thought of using CFrame lerping, however I don’t have much experience with it. Any pointers?

local currentCameraCF = Camera.CFrame
		Camera.CFrame = currentCameraCF:Lerp(cf,0.25)

This only seems to “lessen” the bobbing. I could replicate this just by doing:

local WalkpowerY = 0.5
if walking then
   local y = math.abs(math.sin(tick() * Walkspeed)) * WalkpowerY
else
   local y = math.abs(math.sin(tick() * 1)) * 0.5
end

What I want to know is how to retain the “power” of the camera bobbing in the video while smoothly stopping the camera bobbing when the player stops
