Edward, when working with 4 hours of footage and having to stabilize at least 20-30 clips, it’s a little hard to stabilize each clip separately. That’s why there is a timeline with multiple clips and layers on it, to benefit from it! Sony has done a nasty job and I can’t imagine a reason for doing it! But if that’s how thing are, we always find a solution!
Sooo… I tried Mercalli Stabilizer, v2.105. It does it’s job better than sony’s own stabilizer. And works with slowmotion like a charm.
In general seems like interlace footage is a little off hand for stabilizers. I shoot with a Sony NX5 witch gives me 50i interlace footage, and from here all the problems.
Anyway,
Thanx to all who have written. Happy editing!
