Camera Shake (Studio Version Only)
This effect replicates random camera motion for Horizontal and Vertical position, Rotation, and Zoom. A variety of parameters are provided to let you customize the quality of motion, from slow meandering drift to abrupt, jagged jerks and pops.
Main Controls
The primary controls governing how much camera shake is added.
— Motion Scale and Speed Scale: These sliders let you adjust the overall amplitude and speed of camera shake that’s introduced to the image.
— Motion Blur: Lets you add simulated motion blur to the image being shaken, which can add a more realistic look to the motion. Motion blur is more visible on fast-moving motion, as
DaVinci Resolve is simulating the effect of a motion picture camera’s shutter speed on exposed subjects in motion.
Shake Levels
These controls let you adjust the intensity of camera shake.
— Pan Amplitude: Lets you set how much horizontal motion you want.
— Tilt Amplitude: This slider lets you choose how much vertical motion you want. These sliders are completely independent of one another.
— Rotation Amplitude: Lets you introduce rotational motion to the camera shake, as well.
— PTR Speed: This slider lets you choose how fast the Pan, Tilt, and Rotation camera shake is.
— Zoom Amplitude: This slider lets you add zooming to the camera motion being created.
— Zoom Speed: This slider lets you choose how fast this random zooming should occur.
— Zoom Type: This pop-up menu lets you choose how to add zooming; you can choose Outward Only, Inward Only, or Outward and Inward. If you choose Inward Only, you don’t have to worry about blanking appearing around the edges of the frame.
Shake Quality
These controls let you customize the type of shaking you want.
— Motion Method: This pop-up menu lets you choose from different ways of generating the motion this plugin introduces. You can choose from SINE, Rectified SINE, Rectified SINE (Invert), and Square Wave (good for popping or flickering motion).
— Phase: This slider lets you set the starting point of the camera shake you’re creating, based on the Motion Method and Amplitude settings you’ve chosen.
— Randomness Scale: This slider lets you introduce irregularity to the Horizontal, Vertical, and Rotational motion of the camera shake. The greater this value, the more irregularity will be introduced.
— Randomness Speed: This slider lets you choose between smoothly erratic motion (at lower values) or more jagged motion (at higher values).
