S_ShakeApplies a shaking motion to the source clip over time with translation, zooming, and/or rotation. The shaking is random but repeatable, so with the same parameters the same shaking motion is generated each time. Turn on Motion Blur and adjust the Mo Blur Length for different amounts of blur. Adjust the Amplitude and Frequency for different shaking speeds and amounts. The Rand parameters give detailed control of the random non-periodic shaking, and the Wave parameters adjust the regular periodic shaking. The X, Y, Z, and Tilt parameters control the horizontal, vertical, zoom, and rotation amounts of shaking respectively.In the Sapphire Distort category.

-
Amplitude:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the amplitude of the shaking motion.
-
Frequency:
Default:
8,
Range:
0 or greater.
Increase for faster shaking, decrease for slower shaking. (Be careful if you animate frequency values because the resulting shake frequency is also affected by the rate of change of the value.)
-
Phase:

0,
Range:
any.
Time shift of the shaking motions. (If you animate this value, its rate of change will also affect the apparent frequency.)
-
Stillness:

Range:
0 to 1.
In Jumpy mode, controls the speed of movement in between jumps.
-
Center Bias:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
In Jumpy mode, adjusts the likelihood that each jump will reset the image to its original position. If set to zero, every jump is random. If set to one, every jump will go back to the center.
-
Z Dist:
Default:
1,
Range:
0.001 or greater.
Scales the 'distance' of the image. Values greater than 1.0 move it farther away and make it smaller. Values less than 1.0 move the image closer and enlarge it. Zooming in slightly can sometimes be used to hide edge artifacts.
-
Seed:
Default:
0,
Range:
0 or greater.
Used to initialize the random number generator. The actual seed value is not significant, but different seeds give different results and the same value should give a repeatable result.
-
Motion Blur Length:
Default:
1,
Range:
0 or greater.
Scales the amount of motion blur. Use around .5 when processing on fields or 1.0 for frames to give realistic motion blur. This parameter has no effect if Motion Blur is No .

Channels Parameters:
-
Red Amplitude:

-
Invert Mask:
Check-box, Default:
off.
If on, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white. This has no effect unless the Mask input is provided.
