video stabilisation messing up sharpness
Posted by Mike Tyler on April 30, 2017 at 4:24 pmI was stabilising some footage with people (faces) in it and the whole video just looks bad and the faces blurry.
Is there a way to overcome this ?

There were a few frames where the face was out of focus.. normally, it was almost unnoticeable but with the stabilisation activated it was way worse..

May 2, 2017 at 8:42 amunfortunately, the video wasn’t shot by me.. I was doing just the editing.
I was actually looking into buying a steady cam for moving shots.. not crazy expensive and pretty good results from what I’ve seen.
