which caused unwanted camera motion along the Y axis.
To perform 1-point stabilizing:
NOTE Although this example uses the Reaction tool, any tool that has position
and translation parameter controls can be used to perform 1-point stabilization,
such as the Panner tool, 2D Transform, Warp 2D and the vertices in the Garbage
Mask and the Remove Dust tools.

footage.
3 Drag a Reaction tool from the Tools tab and place it on the dependency
graph between the footage node and the Output node.
4 With the cursor over the Reaction node, right-click and select Add Source.

layer from the Layer Editor. At the bottom of the Layer Editor, select
Bilinear and click Create.
