    I am working on a stop-motion sequence in after effects and have a question about how to stabilize the motion of the sequence. We have a series of photos which have been taken progressively of a building beening built and the camera was accidentally moved a few times from its original position. The photos have been imported in series of JPEG sequences. I used the motion tracking panel to attempt to correct the problem (set 1 track point, analyzed it, and then clicked apply)…and, a bunch of key frames were created but it didn’t correct the problem.

    Did you follow the instructions in the “Track or stabilize motion” section of After Effects Help?

    Specifically, did you use the Stabilize Motion command? The difference between the Stabilize Motion command and the Track Motion command is that with Stabilize Motion the tracking data is used to compensate for motion in the tracked layer.
