Stabilized footage background help RQ
I have stabilized footage of a ship at anchor. (The camera platform ship was moving with waves, not the filmed ship) Is there any way to make a background mozaic of images to fill in the black left when stabilization is performed? I don’t want to enlarge the footage. None of the filmed objects, (ship, clouds etc are moving independently) Thanks for any advice ~tom

Did you stabilize in AE? If so I’d pre comp the footage, then enlarge the child comp slightly and create a duplicate of the footage layer. Send the dupe to the back and enlarge it by like 10 – 20%. Create a mask around your original footage layer to get rid of any black around the edges, and feather it by a couple of pixels. You may have to play around with the enlarged layer to make it line up with the original. This should give your a fairly good “image-cushion” around your master comp without enlarging the source footage.

Thanks for that kind advice – (Yes I stabilized in AE) I’ll give it a go.
Best regards
