✅ 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

  • Beat drops in music edits
  • Action scenes or fight sequences
  • Reaction moments (shock, surprise)
  • Vlog intros for more energy
  • Transition edits (scene switching)

🎯 Final Quick Tips:

✅ Don’t overuse shake — too much makes the video hard to watch.
✅ Short shakes (under 1 second) feel the most modern and viral.
✅ Combine shake + zoom for ultra-dramatic moments.
✅ Always preview at 1x speed before exporting.
