Reverberating effect

Hi everybody,
I’ve trying to simulate this effect that I just cannot explain easily without getting into too mach details, but here it goes. When you see up close the surface of a huge speaker of a subwoofer in particular, it shakes with the music noticeably, especially when you crank up the volume, I’m trying to do something like that with the text on the screen. There is a music on the background and some footage going, than text appears on the screen and it has to reverberate in sync with the music, I bet you’ve seen something like that on VH1 or MTV, it would be sort of synchronization to the audio track amplitude. Is there any 3-rd party FX products available, cause I tried to emulate this using key frames and got bored so quickly.
TIA
Igor

I'd personaly do it with keyframes and blur. It will take a while to do more then a couple seconds, but it will look cool.

there isn't and pluins that i know of eigther to do this.

I'm sure you could do something of the sort with the wave FX. Have a look at this transition (rightclick and download - it's only 207k):
Gong transition

I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but it should point you in the right direction - or one of them.

I'm with thehappy friar..... keyframes and blur.

And yes....doing keyframing - good keyframing is not fun. It's long and boring - and so is editing for that matter. And so is capturing and reviewing and printing to tape and booting my PC and running a scan disk or defrag.....

but I digress.

I did some keyframing of a movie I was putting together (viewable at my website: www.KJVPresents.com called "X-MEN 2")....(Check it out!!!). The movie is like 10 minutes long - it took me a week to finish some of the frame-x-frame stuff I had to do in that piece. Oh boy were my eyes burning!!

But the end result was what I was after - so...there ya are.
