The Value of Shake in Vegas or Vegasaur

karma17 wrote on 5/5/2020, 2:52 AM

It has always been fascinating to me how adding shake to camera movement adds a sense of realism, as if you can sense the camera operator's presence. And yet, despite that, one of the hallmarks of a Hollywood film is a perfectly smooth and steady shot. In Vegas, we can manually create shake but it is a bit of a process. With Vegasaur, you have the option of adding shake through the Jarle plug-in. Either way, adding camera shake is one of those subtle things, but can make a difference in how the shot feels.

Yes !

Why buy expensive deshaker software (mercalli), or upgrade Vegas to get a the latest and best stabilizing feature when you can add shake! 

Why buy expensive sharpening plugin when you can just blur?

Why buy Davinci Resolve Studio for a color correction round-trip to ruin your perfectly captured colors!

No, a shake is something I occasionally drink 😉, and it is not a smoothie...

If I understand the comments correctly, I bought the expensive VP17 so my videos won't shake anymore.
I have tested it, the new stabilizer works great with still images..... ;-)
