Problem with Motion Stabilization
I have a green screen clip of a Med shot of a girl that was shot on sticks but had a few ‘jiggles’ during the shot. So I invoked the motion stabilization and it turned the clip upside down and shoved all the way to the upper left hand corner of the frame so that only a small corner of the clip was showing leaving the rest of the frame blank. I unchecked the motion stabilization and the clip returned to normal. When I checked it again and thinking that it would reanalyze the clip didn’t reanalyze but shoved the clip back up to the upper left hand side of the frame again. Is there anyway of reanalyzing the clip?

Well, first thing you should try is turning down the scale and rotation sliders all the way in the stabilization settings.
But my guess is that this is not going to be stabilized in FCP. While it is obvious to you that the camera is a locked off shot of someone against a green background, but there’s probably no features for FCP to track and figure out what the movement is supposed to be. You’ll probably have to do a 2D track of a tracking marker or something in your frame that is still in AE, Nuke, Smoke, etc… -
Thanks! I’ll try those suggestions.

Its also possible that Motion can stabilize it with a 2D track like the other compositing programs I mentioned. I just haven’t used Motion so I don’t know if you can manually track something and use that as stabilization data like in the others.
