  Stabilize motion: lost crosshairs

  Posted by Bill Morris on October 12, 2008 at 1:53 am

  In working with stabilizing hand-held footage without a lot of good choices for a focal point, I end up with several stabilizers: as one good spot leaves the frame, I create another stabilizer and track that, and so on. Picture a guy standing on a stage with a black background and no scenery. Yeah, it’s no fun.

  In the current project, I think I’m up to 20 or so motion trackers. That can’t be good, can it?

  So, a couple questions:

  1: After several motion trackers, the track points will start being created with the crosshair very far away. I move it back into the feature region and all seems to be well, but what’s going on there? Why is the crosshair created so far away, and does it matter?

  2: Is there a better way to do this than having many motion trackers?

  Best regards,

  – Bill
