    Is there a way to tell Smooth Cam what the point of interest is on the shot? I am smoothing some aerial shots of a city and the sky scrapers’ tops are being chopped off. I need there to be less ground and more sky when it is scaled up.

    You can adjust for this, to a point. But what will usually happen is that you will start to see edges of your video.

    The reason why your buildings are being cut off is due to the fact that SmoothCam has figured the best smooth motion which means blowing up the image enough to keep from seeing the edges of your video frame. It takes into account of edges showing and blows up the image to crop these out.
