  • Stabilizing a camera pan

    Posted by Jono Gaughan on May 1, 2009 at 6:45 am

    I have some footage where there is vertical and horizontal movement. There is one part that looks like someone bumped into the camera that i need to smooth out, but most of the other movements are fine. What is the most efficient way to stabilize a shot like this?
    (I tried stabilizing then keyframing a few position points along the line, but I have to scale it up really big.)

    If you have to rotate the layer at all you must scale to hide the edges.
    If there is severe vertical movement, you must scale to hide the edges.
    If you cannot bear to scale to hide the edges you must find another way to mask the movement.
