Smooth Cam Issue

[Michael Sacci]

have you rendered the clips in the timeline, when applied you normally have green “preview” quality video out until it is rendered.

[Brett Putman]

Yes, I have.

I have not seen dropping of frames but the down side of SC is a funky blur and snapping to a reframing, if that is what you are talking about try playing with the settings to get a balance.

[Brett Putman]

ok, i will just give that a shot i guess.
do you have any suggestions for any other solutions, in case i seem to get my footage just right?
maybe a piece of third party software?

Bring the clip in to Motion. It has more options.

There’s also CoreMelt’s Lock and Load:

Different stabilizers work differently well depending on shots. I’ve had great success with FCP’s stabilizer and never seen it “drop frames” when rendered. What can be common is the motion-blur on the stable footage (if it’s very jerky). The only real way to combat that is lower the stabilization a bit and on a per-frame basis sharpen clips up.

CoreMelt’s Lock and Load is also an awesome tool I’ve more and more started to use as it’s got more features and only renders i/o points rather than the entire media (huge plus often).
