Making a search on this topic just brought out a lot of complaints about corny filmmakers creating false drama by imitating a shaky camera. Well, sorry, I need to create a corny effect.
So is it then possible for me to achieve such an effect in Vegas Pro 14 without having to buy an expensive collection of special effects just to to achieve this once-in-a-lifetime event?
Try the Earthquake script on different settings.

Film Effects (reset to none) > Jitter and Pan&Crop to avoid black bars
(Pan&Crop must be second in the chain)
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.
It's called "Vegas Quake" but I can only find links (via yahoo search) to older Vegas versions. IE 5/6/7/8/9/10. Not sure if that will work in Vegas 11/12/13/14.
Film Effects is a Vegas FX
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.
Welcome. If you are happy with the results, perhaps share your methodology when you have some spare time.
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.
Vegasaur trial version works within 30 days and allows to create handheld motion for 15 seconds (trial limitation). It creates Pan/Crop or Track Motion keyframes.
You could just take your videocamera in your shaky hand and film your (non shaky ) video playing on your monitor
Guaranteed realistic shaking, totally hand controlled 😜, no plugins, sw trial or licence needed!

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.
