Will this help the shaking of my movies? null

Yes, unless it is your tracking that needs adjusted or the tape is too deteriorated.

It might help the heads of the player but sometimes you also have to check the tape your playing for looseness or tightness as the problem with tapes is they get old and stretched. Try making sure the tape is not too loose by turning the wheels under the tape

That depends on the source of the shaking. If it's due to tracking (azimuth correction), then no, it won't help at all.

It's very possible, although your problem can also be caused by tracking issues. The VCRs I've owned have "tracking" buttons on the remote control to fine tune the tracking if the picture quality isn't good. If that's not the problem, this video head cleaner might work. I just recently needed my VCR to transfer home videos onto DVDs. I hadn't used it in a couple of years, and, being a smoker, most things exposed to the air in my apartment get a yellowish build-up from the smoke. I figured the video head might have that build-up on it, so I bought the video head cleaner. Before I used it, the video was a little fuzzy, but after cleaning the tape heads, it was sharp again. I think residue from tapes also get onto the heads over time, so it's a good idea to use a VCR tape head cleaner occasionally.

If by shaking you mean a distorted picture, this tape cleaner will most definitely solve the problem.
