    I know this is an AE forum but I figured you guys would know. I was reading a little bit about the new Apple Shake program and saw this:

    “Smoothcam Tracking
    Use new Smoothcam to smooth out bumpy camera moves or eliminate camera movement altogether. Smoothcam uses Optical Flow technology to automatically remove camera jitter from static shots without setting tracking points. Smoothcam even revives unusable shots by correcting uneven pans across a scene.”

    Does this mean I can potentially make a handheld shot look as if it were shot with a dolly or steady cam? because if so, that would rule!

    Stabilization inevitably results in lost pixels along the edges. Professional camera work is still a requirement today as it was yesterday. Regardless, it does sound like a pretty tool to have.

    Ive been putting FCS2 threw its paces for the last 2 weeks. Smoothcam
    is amazing. But there are 2 caveats…it takes a LONG time to analyze clips (which is necessary for what it does so well) and it works well
    on certain shots and not one others (this relates to how much in frame movement there is). I am in awe of what it can do.

    Shake is far from a new program!..I believe apple ceased production/development on it a year or so ago and were suppossed to be working on something new to replace it – any news on that anyone?

    …That said Shake looks like an awesome addition to your toolset for only
