Ok so i want to make an entry to Rsteenoven's You Tube Contest.But i want a shaky video effect.The Quickcam4000 can do a pan and tilt thing but you have to zoom in, lowering the quality.I know After Effects can do it but i can't afford it.So does anybody know some software that can do what i need?PS.I wouldn't try google.All that shows up is fixing shaky video.
Hmm....
Blender can do it, but it's pretty complex. (Blender can do just about anything, but it's usually pretty complex.)
After Effects is your best option, but if you don't own it I'm not sure how you would do it. What editing software do you use?

LBJ uses that effect in some of his stuff. Maybe you could ask him?

No, I think he uses AE.

Oh, that's right. Nevermind.

You mean like what MindGame did in "Social Experiment?"
Yeah.I probably won't need the zooming though.

you could send the vid to me and i could do it in ae if you want?
What Video Editing System do You have?
It's called Hand Held Camera effect, FYI.
yeah i think you can do it on sony to
If it's just a shake where someone/something has fallen really hard and has knocked the camera a bit, then there's no need to go down the digital route. If you wobble around the camera with your hand while repeatedly pressing the frame capture button, you can achieve such an effect without the need for flashy programs.

You have to move the camera in very tiny amounts though, and it's hard to make it look handheld as opposed to poorly shot by someone who forgot to secure his camera.
Whatever you do, don't move your camera up and down to create a shaky effect, it wont work and it will look terrible.
If you have After Effects this is what you can do to have an amazingly realistic camera shake.
-First download this Preset for AE: http://www.videocopilot.net/presets/after_shake/
-Then add it to your presets folder in the after effects folder in program files
-Then just add it to your clip in after effects. There are slider bars that allow you to control the amount of rotation, speed and how big the camera "bumps" would be.
Now if you want to do something more advanced that would look crazy awesome is,
Make a camera dolly that moves forward or back animate a scene of it moving forward towards a object, minifig walking, whatever, then once you're done, add your raw clip into after effects and add a camera shake to it (You might actually have to animate your own camera shake in after effects to make it look more realistic) it will look like there is someone holding a camera walking towards a object. Its a amazingly realistic effect.

That's what I did, in this film.

I know that filmyguy pulled it off successfully.

This is very true.
On the note of making a shaky effect, you could try this virtualdub deshaker to make it shake maybe
