  image stabilization

  Posted by Sararosepro on July 25, 2007 at 6:58 pm

  We used a Sony hard drive HD personal camera to shoot some video in a helicopter going over the glaciers in Greenland. I’m looking at trying to stabilize it in FCP. I’m running FCP 5 and have Motion 2. What plug-ins are a good option or have you found the basic tools in FCP and Motion to be sufficient?

  Best,

  Sara

  If you don’t have FCP 6 which has this built in…taken from SHAKE…then you need to buy SHAKE.

  I used the FCP 6 SmoothCam filter recently on some hand held helicopter footage and the results were astounding. My client was estatic. The original footage was shot in HDV 1080i so I exported to ProRes 422 and then applied the filter to the imported file. It took about seven minutes to analyze a five second clip on my Dual 2.0 PowerPC. The same clip in HDV would have taken over 30 minutes. Along with mixed resolutions on the timeline and Motion 3, the upgrade was a bargin.
