✅ Method 1: Using Built-In Shake Effects
🔧 Step-by-Step:
1.Import your video into CapCut.
2.Tap on the clip → Go to “Effects” → “Video Effects.”
3.Scroll to “Camera” category.
4.Choose “Shake” or “Swing” effect.
5.Adjust the settings:
- Speed: (Higher = more chaotic, Lower = subtle wobble)
- Strength: (Set around 30–50% for a trendy look)
- Range: (Small for tight shakes, larger for wild moves)
✅ Pro Tip:
Sync the shake with music beats or impact moments for maximum effect.
✅ Method 2: Manual Shake with Keyframes (More Control)
🔧 Step-by-Step:
1.Split the clip around the moment you want the shake to happen.
2.Tap the clip → Open “Animation” → Choose “In” → Select “Shake In”
(or)
Tap “Out” → Select “Shake Out” for exiting shakes.
3.Or use Keyframes:
- Add a keyframe at the start.
- Slightly move (shift) the clip up, down, left, right.
- Add another keyframe every 2–3 frames, moving the clip slightly each time.
4.Preview and adjust for a natural shake flow.
✅ **This gives a very organic, hand-held camera vibe that looks super real.
✅ Bonus: Add Motion Blur for Smoother Shakes
- After applying shake, go to Effects → Video Effects → “Basic” → Add “Motion Blur.”
- Adjust intensity low (around 15–25%) to keep it natural.
- Makes the shake flow silky and less jarring.
📱 Where to Use Camera Shake Effects
