I have a shoot job that calls for a bit of shake in the camera like someone is holding it. However when I look at this affect done on a You tube video series I see the shake is the same on all the clips. I was wondering if this could be done in MC or with BCC filters automatically. 

This is the video I was looking at:

I would think to scale up 5 to 10 percent and then apply some random rotates. 

I usually select a handheld shot with little movement, apply a Stabilize to that, drag the Stabilize to a bin, then apply that to any shots that need a handheld applied. Makes for a more natural look than a bunch of keyframes.

Would you use a BCC Optical Stablilizer to make a shot shaky? I was planning on shooting lock down on a tripod and then adding shake later. 

Thanks for your ideas Mr. Burg but I did a search for Boris Red and found this forum which gave me some answers on how to do it also.

You can see some examples here of how it worked out so far.

I use Avid's built-in stabilize effect (under Image). I'm sure there are many ways to achieve this. The method I suggest is just one that I like because it is fast, it doesn't require any 3rd party plugins, and it uses an actual human motion pattern rather than a computer-generated one.

Job, I couldn't help but see the funny side.

I know what you mean, but I found it funny

Yep, that is precisely the beauty. You capture the camera momevent of one shot and apply it to another shot. Avid's tracker is quite OK.

That's VERY nice!

Thanks for the tip
