Sony Vegas Shake Effect Download
Marcelo Eichel
To achieve perfection, a video editor needs to pay attention to detail and rely on finesses such as a screen shake effect to "grab" and maintain the viewer's attention, as well as "compliment" specific parts of the video.
A screen shake effect, often referred to as "an earthquake effect," "jitter," or "tremor," is when the editor makes a specific part of the video (usually just a few seconds) "shake" for either comic purposes, or to "enhance" the effect of things like bass (often seen in music visualizers), punch and hit effects (comic edits of real-life fails), key moments in gaming video edits (getting impressive multi-kills, etc.), and more.
Like all other video effects included in Sapphire, the shake effect is used by many due to its simplicity, but also the ability to get into the tiniest detail through a simple slider-based interface and make it the perfect effect for your specific editing needs.
Step 4: Click and drag the screen shaking effect preset over the video on your timeline. You'll see the Video Event FX panel show up on your screen shortly after.
Now the effect is added with default values, but you can modify it infinitely to suit your needs, and doing so is very simple as it only requires moving the sliders and testing it after each change.
The reason we recommend this method is because it takes the least time to apply the effect, and you can create numerous presets to use with different shots if you're editing on the daily, which will greatly save time. It's also a beginner-friendly method that doesn't require extensive VEGAS (fka Sony Vegas) knowledge.
Within VEGAS (and the former Sony Vegas), as well as in other editing programs, you can take advantage of keyframes to create various effects and animations. This is always quicker with a plug-in, but if you want to create a shaking effect for your shot for free, here's how to manually do it.
Step 4: Now, position the white box anywhere you want, for example in the bottom-right corner. Then, click on a further point on your timeline and move it again. Doing so will automatically create another keyframe.
That covers everything you should know about creating a screen shaking effect within VEGAS and the formerly known Sony Vegas Pro. Hopefully, this tutorial was helpful and will improve your video editing skills.
Thanks both of you. but where should I look for the script or Film Effects? Earthquake sounds just like the FX I need but I should try both. Please take into account that I have never needed to use effects or scripts in Vegas.
Film Effects is pretty cool for an old plug-in. Gives you "jitter" to mimic film, but not really handheld shake if that's what you are after. Only good way I have found is to use the Jarle's presets in Vegasaur - unfortunately you have to buy Vegasaur for that.
Thanks Kinvermark, I was getting nowhere and what you say here is helpful to know. In the meantime I have figured out a way to get what I need in my own graphics software with which I am more familiar.
It's a very exoteric program geared towards an extremely niche market, called TVPaint which is specifically designed for hand drawn animation. But it has become quite good by now, being the oldest animation software in constant development; twenty years this year. I don't think anybody here would be able to emulate whatever it I will be that I end up with.
My solution is similar in nature, only my "hand held camera" is the built-in keyframer (most animators today have no need for cameras anymore). I just want to wait until my clip has been completed in color, which can be weeks down the road.
I've used this myself to get a handheld effect on stills. Starting with your clip frame in its normal position then move a few frames along the timeline. Grab the frame within the Pan/Crop window and move it slightly (which way you move it and by how much is your choice, depending upon the amount of shaking you want). A keyframe will be created at this point. Move further along the timeline and move the frame some more. Another keyframe will be created. Carry on doing this until you are satisfied with the length of the 'shake'. Make sure you finish with your frame in the centre.
There's Active Camera that it's been mentioned, but for the best results nothing beats micro-moving and micro-rotating the panning frame by hand. I usually use a shoulder rig for dynamic shots, but it's always the case that in post you want to get more life in a static camera shot - and micro-moving is just the thing.
As an tip, it's a good thing to bounce and reimport the manipulated clip ("hiding" the previous one so you can always go back if u want to change the artificial shaking) so you can apply further processing without interfering with the control points which control the shaking.
I'm using sony vegas pro 14 and these are my specs: GTX 1060 3 GB, I7 3770. I made a montage for a friend of mine but everytime i used the s_shake effect the clip i used it one freezes in the end result. I noticed this as well when i used the effect in other projects and i can't find a solution. I disabled resampling on all clips, gave sony vegas high priority in task manager and closed all other apps when rendering. Sony vegas isn't using near max cpu capacity but it still freezes.
This is my fix for now: I changed the fps from 60 to 30 and now it doesn't seem to be lagging at all, all my shake effects were off beat since there were only half the amount of frames so i have to edit most of the montage again.

Have you ever wanted to add the real looking effect of camera shake to your stable footage? Give a little of organic motion to shots that were locked off? Now it's a breeze with Jarle's Handheld Camera tool in Vegasaur Toolkit.
Jarle Leirpoll, the original author of Deadpool Handheld Camera Presets, kindly gave us permission to integrate his presets into Vegasaur. We converted Premiere Pro keyframes and made them available to VEGAS Pro users.
Jarle created 7 custom handheld camera presets that were used by the editors of DEADPOOL movie (read more here). He made presets by capturing real handheld camera motion and converting the movement into keyframes. It's not a fake digital shake or computer simulation. It's organic and real.
does exist a plug in for premiere that allow easy to simulate the original "shake" of old movies shot on film? there was a very minimal shake also in stil shots on a tripod and on the title screen/end credits.
That is when a film frame passes through a projector, sprockets outside the image area control the vertical motion of the frames through the projector. Over time, a film can become warped or the sprockets can wear, causing the frame to appear to move side to side. It can also be caused by a worn mechanical movement in the camera not keeping perfect registration with the sprockets on the negative or by the film itself being warped by heat.
Gate Weave is primarily a horizontal motion (like a soft sway left and right) that can have different speeds. You could possibly keyframe your clips to have this motion with a Bzier curve to mimic the effect with the inbuilt motion control tab within Premiere.
The most 'scientifically accurate' way to achieve the effect would be to shoot on film with a worn movement in a camera that does not have double-claw pull down...or you could purposely introduce movement during the telecine scan.
What you're looking for is a filter that simulates the jitter and gate weave of analog film transport, not a handheld camera shake simulator. Red Giant's Misfire plugin (which is part of the Magic Bullet suite) does exactly that.
Hans Punk, have you ever been a projectionist? You sound like one. Only you and me and maybe a handful of freaks will notice a difference between a 'scientifically accurate' simulation and a cheap retro effect. This is true for a lot of film effects (light leaks transitions, grain overlays, filmstock simulating LUTs). Anything goes. In the end, no matter how 'realistic' it is, it's still a travesty. It's like the spice smoke burger restaurants spray on their meat, triggering a vague association of something that was char-grilled. No chief would fall for that.
