Camera shake effects

[Mike Kujbida]

Quake for Vegas is what you’re looking for.

Another option is the effects available at newbluefx.com which also has both camerashake and earthquake effects.

is there a “cheap” way to create that effect?

[Edward Troxel]

Using the script Mike pointed you to is the cheapest method. I think the newbluefx effect looks better, though.

I tried to install but it’s asking me for the Vegas 5 folder I use Vegas 7 directed it to the Vegas 7 folder and same error

[Edward Troxel]

Yeah, that script setup looks specifically for Vegas 5. If you have the unzipped files, it works in the newer versions. However, it won’t install unless you have Vegas 5 installed.

I have the unzipped files but don’t feel right about hosting them since I didn’t write that one.

Try this suggestion from a poster on the Sony Vegas forum.

Extract the file to: C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7\Script Menu

You should see a folder in the Script Menu entitled “Vegas Quake.”

You can either go to “Tools-Scripting-Vegas Quake” and execute the script, or go to “Options-Customize Toolbar” and add the Vegas Quake icon to your toolbar (which I have done, it’s an italic caps Q in a shaded blue square.

Either way, select a timeline track and region, then run the script or click the icon. A GUI will give you the various options, click OK and off you go.

Here’s what I get when I either use it in the toolbar or trough the script menue

C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Script Menu\VegasQuake.js(4) : Type name expected
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Script Menu\VegasQuake.js(4) : Type ‘VegasQuake.VegasQuake’ could not be found, is an assembly reference missing?
