Stabilizing a Shaky Timelapse
I recently purchased a slider for doing my time-lapses and I went out to get one today. I decided to use a 50mm Lens without IS. It was rather windy and as such the camera appears to shake a lot. My question is what is the best way to stabilize this as obviously the ‘no motion’ option will not work with this clip and to be honest the usual method does nothing more than zoom it in making it appear more shaky than it already was. There’s a lot of movement (including a lot in the foreground which is mostly static) in this so how can I pick something static and tell the program to stabilize off of that object?
Thanks in Advance

if you have good foreground objects that are static and nothing passes in front of, then ae’s old tracker should work pretty well.

I have one good foreground object that is static for a while which then gets replaced by another…is there a way of switching between the two?

Its frustrating because these telephoto slider time lapses look so good yet they are nearly impossible to make without any kind of camera shake :/ Usually for static timelapses I use the ‘no motion’ option and it works like a dream but slider ones are considerable more fiddly as I’m finding.

Sorted… You can just about not tell it was stabilized https://youtu.be/E0AVxNxIHj8

Apparently after effects doesn’t like stabilizing JPEG sequences directly which was the problem the whole time. You live and you learn eh

This looks good. Thanks for the note about sequences. That will be very useful knowledge, if I can remember it when I need it. ????
