I am not sure how to stabilize video with foundry 3d tracker?
I know how to use it to put an object inside the video, but I don’t know how to stabilize video with it.

Thanks for advice.

Eventually what I did was to precompose the video into new composition, and then precompose it again…
In last composition I applied motion tracking by locking trackpoint to one small detail at the end of the street in the middle of screen (which is visible through entire footage) and then slowly carefully stabilized with constant corrections…
That gave me kinda stable video but still swinging on left and right sides because it is only one track point (it wasn’t possible to find two visible through entire footage).

Then I went back to previous composition and cropped out black edges.
Then went to first composition and applied warp stabilizer which made everything smoother.

Then I rendered everything as PNG sequence.
And then applied warp stabilizer one more time to that new already stabilized PNG sequence….

I think that I have maximum possible stabilization now before speed it up…

I lost some resolution and quality because of that, but I will compensate that partially.

I tried already. Maybe I did something wrong, but after I speed it up and then stabilized result is disaster – it cut at least half of the resolution and still shaking even more than before stabilizing…

I don’t understand why people need to be assholes all the time???
Why you just don’t give the simple answer to the person instead being so smart???
Wouldn’t be easier if you just wrote the answer instead of making an entire performans here???

By the way it is incredible how hard is to find answer to such a simple question like how to change the roto brush size! I spend an hour googling and reading endless articles about roto brush without finding the god damn information how to change the damn size!!!

We are not all born with adobe after effect like some of you smart asses!

So annoying and irritating!
So pissed off!

Sorry guys for very late answer. It is kind a disrespectful but i wasn’t able to do anything before.
I just wanna tell you that PNG sequence worked just fine. It is very simple and logical solution.
Thank you very much for help.

….and Sony vegas should also think about this strange glitch/problem what ever it is…. because it is very strange.

[Dule Bajin]

I will do that tonight.
I was on business trip – very busy period.
I will try today and let you know

[Dule Bajin]

Help would be good. I think I never done that before.

[Dule Bajin]

Oh ok ok.
Sounds good. I’ll try that.

[Dule Bajin]

Oh, but that is not going to solve the problem.
If I render now that video detail in different resolution it will completely change the position in the video project.

It’s a 3d flag which I made in after effect. That flag is resized in my vegas video project and it’s moving there following some other details in the video. It’s moving complicated – literally I was positioning it in each frame…. I needed few days of work to acomplish that.
If I render now that detail again in another resolution I will need to do everything again….
That’s why I said I can’t go again through all the settings.

Everything worked normally before. What happened now? That’s very weird.

[Dule Bajin]

Sorry guys, I am at work now. I can’t do much… answering from my phone now.

Yes, I do have after effect project for that video file.
And yes, I can play the video in quick time and all other players….

Also I did converted mov file into mp4 file, and still Vegas doesn’t recognize it.
Although I have many other mov and mp4 files already included into the project and all works properly.

Just this particular file dissappeared.
And, as I said, when I was converted it to mp4 first time I didn’t check “keep original size” option and I got different resolution and that video was visible in vegas.
when I did it again in original resolution 1500×1002 it dissappeared again.

very weird.

when I go home I’ll give you more infos.
