Jarle Leirpoll created the seven different organic handheld-camera presets in Premiere Pro CC 2015.2, so they do not work in any older version of Adobe’s editing tool. The presets were created with real camera footage by mapping the position and rotation of the handheld material into the presets. The initially tested solution of simulating camera shake in After Effects slowed the process down too much.
No motion blur was used so that the presets could run in real time. A workaround in After Effects can, however, add motion blur if desired. More about this at Premierepro.net under “Want Motion Blur?”.
So spice up your static shots with the free presets. Here is the download: simply unzip the zip file, import the presets into Premiere Pro and drop them onto the shots.
