  • Adding a “thump” effect to videos

    Posted by Julian Lee on January 31, 2011 at 7:52 am

    To start of, here an example of what I’m talking about:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo7FpI8MmmE&feature=related
    From around 1:45-148, there’s a robot figure that takes two steps, and when he takes each of those steps theres a kind of shake effect put in.

    I was wondering what this was called and where I could find a tutorial on how to do it.
    Thanks! (:

    You could do this with NewBlue FX Motion Effects which has a number of different camera shakes. If you want to do it manually, I would go into Pan/Crop and zoom in a bit and then keyframe some random shakes. It shouldn’t be too hard to do.

    You can also do it from within Vegas Pro using the Video FX tab, select the Film Effect effect. When the dialog box comes up, select the dropdown list and select JITTER, then select a value for the jitter effect. I would keyframe it with a jitter set to 0.0 then ramp it up to the “full” jitter amount in the next keyframe, then back down to 0.0 in a third keyframe. The difference in time between the 1st and 3rd keyframe will be the “duration length” of the jitter, with the maximum jitter occurring at the second keyframe. I’m at work (where I don’t have access to Vegas Pro), or I would do a screenshot for you.

    Very clever. You know I forgot all about the jitter in the Film Effects. That’s a great idea!
