Simple Camera Shake effect

"It will create a "camera during earthquake" movement on the selected video clip. It uses Pan + Crop keyframes to achieve this. It is fully configurable." - Tommy Marplatt, December 2015

Fork/Update Notes:

This is a fork compatible with newer versions of VEGAS that do not use the same pathways as the original. I also added "Autosize" to all the UI elements so they are more accessible on differently sized screens, though I am yet to test it and am happy to fix any scaling issues.

I am also aware that there is another fork of this script updated for newer versions of VEGAS by Rojaoo!

I only noticed it after I had already completed my version haha. The method used to change the UI is different in both of them, so feel free to use either.

How to Install:

1. Download this code. It should end up in your Downloads folder as a cs file.
2. Put the cs file in the Script Menu folder of VEGAS. Here's the path: C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 21.0\Script Menu

   (note: your version of VEGAS might differ from mine, so make sure to put the right program name in!).

3. Open VEGAS and go to the Tools dropdown menu on the top toolbar.
4. Select "Scripting".
5. Select "Rescan Script Menu Folder".
6. "Shake Selected Clip (Updated)" should now show up on the list of scripts.

If you do not wish to put this file in the "Script Menu" folder:

1. Download this code and do steps 3 and 4.
2. Select "Run Script".
3. Select the script directly from whatever folder you want to place it in. You will need to do this every time you want to run this script.
