Here’s how to make the screen shake:

@Manna

There is no specific template you need to use for a shake.
You need to use multiple zooms timing them.

Example:
 INT. BACKGROUND
 @zoom on x y to % in 0.1 
 @zoom on x2 y2 to % in 0.1 
 @zoom on x3 y3 to % in 0.1

You can adjust the time and coordinates as you like it. If you want a horizontal shake only then change the x coordinate. If you want a vertical shake then change the y coordinate.

You can look at the template on episodelife.com to see how it’s done:

This script template uses these zooms to give off a camera shake effect:

@zoom on 126 160 to 155% 0.1
@zoom on 126 0 to 155% 0.1
@zoom on 126 160 to 155% 0.1
@zoom on 126 0 to 155% 0.1

As you can see there’s a pattern and you can even play around with the numbers ^^
