Now, you can use the very same presets used by the editors of Deadpool to simulate handheld camera in your locked-off shots. Just download the presets, unzip the ZIP file and import the presets to Premiere. (In the Effects panel, right-click the Presets folder and choose Import Presets, then point to the .prfpst file). Throw them on your boring locked-off shots to create a more energetic look. Please note that I made these in Premiere Pro CC2015.2, so they may not work in older versions of Premiere. EDIT: I just got a word from someone using CS6, and he says it works a charm in CS6! ?
Edit Jan 16 2017: Greg Golya, design director for Fox Sports in Cleveland Ohio USA, has converted the Premiere Pro presets to an After Effects project! The project has solids that you can replace with your own footage. That project made it very easy for me to save Effects Presets, which may be a better way to use these. So now you can download my presets and his project (CC2015.3).
Hi Fernanda, you can try this: Add the preset, then go to the Effect Controls Panel and delete half of the keyframes (keep the first half). Then select them all and Alt-drag the last one to the right. This will spread the keyframes out, so the movement will be a bit smoother. But for a better result, you could send the clip to After Effects after you add the preset, and then you can use the Smoother to smooth out the movement. Good luck!
Hey,
Thanks so much for sharing these camera presets. Deadpool is one of my favorite superheros! I think that this post was very helpful and entertaining! I wonder if you can use adobe spark video to edit the footage.
Best,
Dennis
Hi Albert, these presets were made for an action movie, so no long takes. ? The best you can do is this: Try to find two keyframes with approximately the same position and rotation, one near the beginning, and one near the end. Then copy/paste only the keyframes between these.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I was wondering if you tell us how to achieve even more extreme camera shakes similar to those used in car commercials,
like some of the shots in this Porshe commercial: =IwAR15YtU04fvqv7xT8ad-UVLcotqPmDRrnJMW7j2P_1XUIZf9ZeRskcyUyoM
Tarek, you can do this in After Effects with a Wiggle Expression on the Position parameter of the clip. I recommend linking it to a Slider Control, so you can keyframe the Wiggle.

Hi Sebastien, I would think that exporting an XML from Premiere Pro and importing that to Resolve would work. If you try it, let us know how it goes, and if it works, maybe you can share your Resolve presets here?
