Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Camera Shake effect?
Camera Shake simulates animated camera movement using pan, tilt, rotation, zoom, pauses, randomness, and integrated motion blur.
Does Camera Shake work on videos?
Yes. Camera Shake is built for video and animated previews, and it also works on still images when you want a moving camera feel.
What does Motion Scale control?
Motion Scale controls the overall strength of the shake. Higher values increase translation, rotation, and zoom movement together.
What does Motion Blur do?
Motion Blur samples the camera movement across a virtual shutter window, so blur follows the same pan, tilt, rotation, and zoom path as the shake.
Can I make the shake pause?
Yes. Pause Length, Pause Interval, and Pause Randomness control when the shake holds still and how regular those pauses feel.
