heyaz, im sure lots of people here have watched Whisper of the beast by ScorpionsUltd. My question is, how does he make the clip shake? here are the times where he used the method:

1:23
2:41

there were more later in the vid as well.

Create a series of keyframes with the image moving left and right in small incriments.

If you're using After Effects (and you don't care about having a lot of control over the motion) you can use an expression to make it random, or use an expression and 'convert audio to keyframes' to make it jiggle with the audio volume.

Or an more common way using After Effects, just use "the wiggler".

If you still have Vegas Movie Studio...

Drop Film Effects FX on the clip.
Set Grain and Tint to 0.
Un-check Enable Particles.
Select each Type and set each to zero.
Select Type called Jitter. Drag its slider and preview. Repeat until it looks the way you want it to.

I'm prety sure you CAN'T.

Short of getting a better piece of editing software, only solution I could think of is to save every frame as an image file, then open up each image in an image editing program and move each frame around to make it shake... then save it all back to a video file. Probably more trouble than its worth.
