Getting Slider Shots Perfect in Post?
Hi there,
I’m working with footage filmed with a slider that is at times a little uneven in terms of the movement/timing and with a bit of shakiness on some shots.
Would it be easy to smooth these problems out seamlessly in AE (or different software)? Or should I start considering re-shoots with a motorised slider?
Thanks!

The shakiness can be corrected in AE using the Motion Tracker to stabilize the footage. As far as the movement and timing, that’s a lot tougher. The Warp Stabilizer (AE6 – you don’t say which version you’re using)claims to be able to fix uneven motion, but I haven’t tried it for slider stuff. It sounds as if you need a better slider, or better slider operator – a motorized slider will give you the consistency of motion you’re looking for, but if you’ve got audio going on, there’s sometimes a problem with motor noise.

I show how to make a dolly pan smoother using the Warp Stabilizer effect in this video:
