Could anyone please tell me how to do this shake?

    If you press SHIFT and cursor keys, you can go through the video frame-by-frame - you'll see that the shake is pretty easy and basic level.

    It looks like a lot of vector blur and a little position keyframing, when image B comes in (it falls into frame, overshoots a bit and snap into position - 3 keyframes).

    Easing and timing will be the key - the whole transition is only about 5 frames long.

    This is just a fairly fast cut piece with transitions on every cut.  The transitions are what you're referring to as "shake".

    The transitions themselves look like some of the many pre-made transitions that are popular in preset collections at the moment, probably applied in Premiere Pro rather than After Effects. An example here:

    You'll probably get great ideas from the experts here on ways to do this with built-in AE effects. As only an occasional user of AE, I rely on the brilliant and free Animation Composer plug-in from Mister Horse for these kinds of effects. A shake like you are seeking may be in one of the free presets, but I know the Filmmaker's Transitions extension pack has ones that are just like this one that are easily tweaked.

    thanks, I'll try to use that but I'm still going to wait and see what other people say
