This question is addressed to people who are familiar with video processing/editing.

So… I found some guy on YouTube who creates cinematics for Minecraft servers (I’ll paste a link to an example of one of his videos below).

From what I’ve managed to notice, he uses time remapping to slow down and speed up the footage so that the movement of the virtual camera is synced to the music.

However, in addition to this, he also uses a “bouncing camera?” effect. I have no idea what to call it and hence my question.

What is this effect of shaking the camera in sync with the music? What tools/software should I use to get a similar effect?

Minecraft game itself does not have any tools that allow you to achieve such effects. So I’m sure it’s edited.

    I believe this is what’s happening in your reference clip. The reason the camera shake looks like it’s synchronized to the music is because the speed ramps up on every beat, causing the camera shake to be more pronounced each beat

    If you added the shake after the speed ramping the “intensity” (really frequency) of the motion would remain constant and it wouldn’t look like the reference video
