SVP13 Sony Stabilize APPLY button doesn’t work

[Matthew Jeschke]

I’m not 100% sure of the version in SVP 13 with the morph effect. However, in the older version SVP10 it had some more parameters to set. I think it may have been doing a crop and possibly perspective adjustment on frames? Sometimes my images looked like they were trying to adjust for tilt via a perspective shift.

I also use an inexpensive tripod dolly and steady cam. Makes a WORLD of difference. However one of my colleagues got a motorized setup and cancels out movement. He shot this video here, https://vimeo.com/123633173

Mount is VERY expensive though :/ His camera is also a bit better than 5d M2 I have in low light.

Wow, that Vimeo vid looks great. I bet I could get the same or very close results with my small home made mount, especially if I add a one pound weight between the camera and the mount, and use the Stabilizer in Vegas 10, since it doesn’t work in 12. Imagine holding a baton in the middle. You could start and stop twirling it very easy as well as shaking it. Then imagine adding a pound weight at each end. The result would be drastically different.

Video below is me doing something similar to what you talk about… I use use a counterbalanced / fly cam and a $30 tripod dolly. Then stabilizing in post with Sony Vegas. It achieves a reasonable quality of stabilization however, I notice it’s not quite as good as my colleagues motorized rig / DJI Ronin setup.

I feel it struggles a bit with zoom stabilization (3rd clip from beginning) and somewhat on pitch (think it’s using a perspective shift for pitch?) but seems to do great on side to side roll. I’ve never had great results with rolling shutter on it either.

Ignore the walk through narrated bit at the end. I’m using my cellphone simply to show layout. The cell phone is good enough but I cringe at the quality of audio my phone’s firmware has a video audio leveling issue (LG G2 Phone). Trying to find replacement hardware that’s as quick and easy to use as my cell phone video camera.

Nice! I see what you mean by the phone part. The zoom part on my rig is still the zoom rocker switch on the camera. LOL I’ve seen glide cams with a large zoom rocker switch. I never looked to see how that remote switch connected to the camera. none of my cameras are expensive enough to have a remote connection on them.

Here’s a great Panasonic TM700 made clip to experiment on with the stabilize feature. I just tried it in Vegas 10 with all the settings maxed since the video is so shaky. it worked fantastic.

Here’s another clip to see the quality of the Panasonic TM700 camera.
https://vimeo.com/132493884
Both of the clips are 1080p 60 fps .mts files so let Vegas match the Project properties match the media.

Also these are on Vimeo. To be able to download the original file, you have to be logged on to Vimeo. If you aren’t a member, it only takes a minute to sign up. Once you’re logged in, the download button lets us download the original file I uploaded. And if you have a free Vimeo account like me, the original only stays available for a week, so if you try to download this more than a week from this post, you can’t get the original. Only 720 30 fps.
Alot of people don’t see a need for 1080p 60 fps video. I for one can’t stand interlaced video. These videos give me 60 perfect pictures per second to save as pics, which I use Vegas for alot. Once you have one in Vegas with matched project properties, zoom in on the event timeline until the left and right keys will increment a frame at a time. Make sure your preview is set to best full. Notice the quality of each frame. Then try the same thing with a 1080i 29.97 file and see the difference.
Neither of these videos have a fast enough movement to really show how good slowing down the video to half speed and see the buttery smooth look with the 60 fps clips. Opinions are definitely welcome. Danny Hays

I think your video stabilized without compromising image quality much. I shot at 1080p with 24 fps. I’m going to have to boost up my camera. It must stabilize better with higher fps.
