Hi Nomad998joke -

I've missed the part of your (edited) first post that inspired SoNic67's assertion about legalities.

If you mean an effect to make to image on screen shake, you probably have a few options. The most obvious one is a PDR effect called "Quake". You may also have other NewBlue FX that will meet your needs.

FX can be dropped directly on the clip/image or inserted in the FX track.

Cheers - Tony

Hi Tony



I do not appear to have any effects named quake and there doesnt appear to be one to download either.

I have no idea what the purpose of the New Blue FX is either as it doesnt do anything when I have applied it.

I know that this is probably because I am new to editing however but I am struggling somewhat with this. Gone back to using the freeware currently when I need this effect ytjrtytj

Try hitting the modify button after placing the fx on the timeline.
