Video stabilizer?

[Jerry Jesion]

Kevin,
Try the deshaker plugin for VirtualDub:

I have used it with very good results.

Thank you sir, but is there a stand-alone stabiliizer out there or better yet, a plug-in for Vegas? Virtual Dub seems like an additional step I really dont’t need

[Anoni Moose]

Although I haven’t tried it, isn’t “Wax” that gets mentioned from time to time something that allows virtual-dub plugins to work as a plugin to Vegas?

A really decent stabilizer comes with Vegas – the Boris plugin. It works well. it’s free.

[Jerry Waters]

Never heard of this. Where is it? In the program or does it require a download?

A limited edition of BorisFX ships with Vegas 6 and 7. The stabilizer is included in that edition and it works very well.

Concerning Wax. It does plugin to Vegas, and it in theory does allow you to use VirtualDub filters. However, until it’s updated it only sorta works with Vegas 6 and 7. And can only successfully use some VirtualDub filters. I’m not saying don’t try, you might get Deshaker to work, but I’d be very shocked if you did.

Deshaker does do something that the one included with the stripped down version of Boris doesn’t (I have no idea if the full version does it). Which is to use previous and future frames to fill in the edges as it compensates for motion, this means you don’t have to zoom on the video as much (or perhaps at all) to remove shake. This is a great feature, that the Boris LTD doesn’t have. To me this makes it only marginally usefull, and only for shots where there is very little shake, so you don’t have to zoom much.

My Vegas 7 disc only has Borris Grafitti LTD, No Borris FX. How do I get the FX program?
