Smoothcam cropping image
I smoothcamed a shot and then wanted to add a freeze frame of the last frame so the clip would freeze at the end. I noticed the freeze frame and the smoothcam footage were different causing a noticeable jump. Seems that when you apply smoothcam it crops the picture a bit. Is this normal?

It has to crop as it adjusts for shakiness, otherwise the edges of your frame would be black when the edge would move out of the frame. Use the freeze frame from the last frame of the smoothcam shot.

All image stabilizers do this. if the stabilizer sees your footage move left, it moves it back to the right. If it sees your footage move up, it moves it back down. So when you move the shot to the right or down, it exposes black on the left or top.
