Free Camera Shake Presets!

by Todd Blankenship,Rocketstock

When making a film or video, the goal is usually to get the smoothest shots possible. So why would you add a camera shake preset in post-production?

Camera shake presets are great. They have been around for quite some time, and as long as I’ve been interested in VFX and compositing, I’ve found plenty of uses for them. However, the whole prospect of camera shake presets can be a little confusing. Why did I spend all of this money on that expensive gimbal, or that new dolly system, if I’m going to add camera shake to the shot in post? What is the benefit of using a camera shake preset instead of just shooting the shot handheld on set? Who even wants shaky footage to begin with?

This process doesn’t have to take a lot of time or require plugins or software. Premiere Pro has built-in tools that allow you to quickly and easily get your video and audio in sync. Let’s have a closer look at how to accomplish this, here.

Why Apple is Dropping Cineform and DNx and How It Affects You

Users installing the newest refresh of Final Cut Pro might have seen a warning that their media won’t be supported in the future. Apple has put out a full support note giving more information and context to help filmmakers through the process.

Rumors seem to point towards the likelihood that Apple is developing Final Cut Pro to be able to run equally well on MacOS and iOS, allowing users to move seamlessly back and forth, which will require more limited codecs. But notice Apple doesn’t say that Final Cut won’t support Cineform and DNxHR, but that the entire MacOS won’t support Cineform and DNxHR. Considering how young DNxHR is (and how vital it is to the Media Composer workflow), this is very bold on Apple’s part.
