  • Stabilize Motion / Change targets in one clip?

    Posted by Yoshiko Tanaka on January 8, 2011 at 4:28 pm

    I have a long clip (about 15 mins) which has a lot of shakes. I’m trying to stabilize the motion but the problem is that the scene changes often and which means that the target of stabilization changes often. For example from start till 10secs I target an apple but from 11secs to 15secs is a traffic light.) Right now I’m cutting the clip every time the target object changes and stabilizing it and I already have 10 layers in the first 30 seconds…

    Is there anyway that I can change the target object of stabilization multiple times without cutting the clip and creating extra layers? Or if you have any other suggestions I would love to hear this. Thank you!

    During the tracking process, when you want to change to a new target object, pause the track and hover over the target box and hold down Ctrl + Alt (I’m on a PC). You can move the box to a new target object, and resume tracking.

    Are these panning shots, from “apple to traffic light”, or scene changes?

    It’s scene change.

    Let me try your suggestion. Thanks!
