Settings and Macros/AdvancedCameraShake Description

Creates a camera shake effect based on two shake oscillations with different frequencies multiplied one by another. This makes the motion more organic and controllable.

You can add even more complicity, assigning extra Shake modifier to the Transform \ Center parameter or to the Transform \ Angle and Scale.

Also, AdvancedCameraShake has all the functionality of the Transform tool. So, for example, you can zoom in a little bit and animate the Center by hand to avoid black edges.

EffectMask

Defines the areas where the effect is applied

Controls Tab

Overall Magnitude

The overall shaking power (amplitude)

X Shake Magnitude

Controls the horizontal shake amplitude.

Y Shake Magnitude

Controls the vertical shake amplitude.

Primary Shake Random Seed

Alters the order of randomly generated numbers for the primary shaking oscillation.

Primary Shake Smoothness

Sets in what time span the movement changes the direction. The higher the smoothness the lower the frequency.

Shake Modulation

Defines the range of the secondary oscillation values. The greater the range the more the modulation influence. It acts as another amplitude multiplier. If you set both Min and Max to 1, it will have no effect.

Modulation Random Seed

Alters the order of randomly generated numbers for the secondary oscillation.

Modulation Smoothness

Sets in what time span the modulation changes direction (increasing/decreasing). The higher the smoothness the lower the frequency. For more natural motion keep Modulation Smoothness greater than Primary Shake Smoothness.

Perform Automatic Upscaling

Upscales the image to eliminate black edges around the frame borders. You may want to switch it off if the shake magnitude and modulation maximum are animated and change rather quickly in time to avoid too obvious changes in framing. The checkbox should be also switched off if the image is cropped afterwards, so that the black edges aren't visible anyway.
