Stablilization in Vegas pro

How to set up?

To achieve basic stabilization you need to add the “Video Stabilization” effect. Note that there’s also a “Stabilization” effect, which is an older version that also works okay but isn’t as beginner friendly I’d say.
Add your clip to the timeline, go to the Video FX tab, look for the effect, drag and drop it onto your clip and click “Stabilize”. It will then analyze your footage and once it’s done you’ll be able to adjust the smoothness to your liking. That would be the very basics of it. You can change the user view from basic to professional or expert if you’re looking for more control.

Note that if you make any cuts or trim the clip after you’ve added stabilization and analyzed the clip – it will remove all stabilization and you will have to click “Stabilize” again. So either make your edits beforehand or render the whole stabilized clip and use that. From my experience it’s just cuts and trimming that forces you to redo stabilization – adding extra effects has been fine.
