No direct product replacement was announced by Apple, but some features are now available in Final Cut Studio and Motion, such as the SmoothCam filter. On July 30, 2009, Apple discontinued Shake. Support for Microsoft Windows and IRIX was discontinued in previous versions.

Shake 4 was available for Mac OS X and Linux.

Many other compositing packages, such as Blender, Blackmagic Fusion, Nuke and Cineon, also used a similar node-based approach. This type of compositing interface allowed great flexibility, including the ability to modify the parameters of an earlier image processing step 'in context' (while viewing the final composite). It enabled complex image processing sequences to be designed through the connection of effects 'nodes' in a graphical workflow interface. Shake exposed its node graph architecture graphically. Shake was widely used in visual effects and digital compositing for film, video and commercials. Shake is a discontinued image compositing package used in the post-production industry developed by Nothing Real for Windows and later acquired by Apple Inc.
