Hello everyone. I'd like toa sk if there's any free (or cheaper) alternative to Sapphire and BBC plugins. I'm mainly looking for shake and distortion effects and trasitions, so it doesn't need to be anything fancy. If there's not a pluggin I'm also open to use other softwares. So if you know of any please let me know!

There's a really good random shake script made by someone here I think, but pure shake without added effects. I don't have a link to it.
As far as Sapphire grade effects for free the only option I can think of is capcut, but because you can't bring Vegas projects into capcut it's a bit cumbersome. I would say do your edit in vegas without effects and transitions make a high quality encode bring it into capcut, then run scene detect (they call it split scene) to recut your video at edit points. add effects, filters and transitions.
Not ideal, but I sometimes move between 3 different editors for the same project because of various features.
BCC
@CAIO-DACOSTA In a nutshell, there are truly no free alternatives to BCC and Sapphire within Vegas Pro.
The only alternatives that are comparable are FXHome Ignite Pro and Red Giant Universe, but, they are not free.
Re FXHome's Ignite Pro ...
It was discontinued by FXHome several years ago and so presumably would now only be available as a private purchase from somebody willing to sell the user licence - but FXHome do not permit licence transfers (it's in their Ts & Cs)..

So, Vegas Post since Vegas Effects is a reskinned version of Hitfilm Pro, which includes those plugins? ;) It isn't free, but it works. You can also try NewBlueFX Transitions pack for a pretty good price through the Vegas Expansion Pack 1: VEGAS Pro Add-Ons: Dazzling Video & Audio Plugins (vegascreativesoftware.com). Yet again, not free but worth it.
