3 Position Tracker 1 over a pattern that you want to stabilize.
4 Click Analyze to generate the stabilization data.
5 Fine-tune the data if necessary. See Tracking Difficult Shots and Correcting Errors (page 735).
6 Once you are satisfied with the stabilization, exit back to 2D Transform.
7 Enable the Components (Position X, Position Y) that you want to stabilize.
8 Adjust the framing options as you need (Roll, Fill, Crop Edges, Letterbox, Shift) .
NOTE The default reference frame is the first frame of the clip. You can change the reference frame of the analysis
by defining a new reference point.
To define a new reference point:
1 Place the positioner at the desired frame.
2 Click the Set Frame button.
The analysis will readapt the timing of the transformation; stabilization will occur before and after the
set frame.
Stabilizing Motion, Scaling, and Rotation
Auto Stabilize is accessed either from the Tools tab or from Connect FX.
To stabilize Motion, Scaling and Rotation using Auto Stabilize:
1 Select 2D Stabilization from the Stabilization Method box.
You are performing a two-dimensional analysis.
2 Switch to Front View.
3 Optional: Enable the Region Of Interest button.
Indicate the region you want to analyze on the front clip.
4 Click the Analyze button.
Analysis takes place. This may take some time however you will see the percentage of progress in the
analysis in the Progress field.
5 Switch to Result view to see the stabilized shot.
6 Enable the Components (Position X, Position Y, Scaling, Rotation) that you want to stabilize.
7 For these components select either Fixed or Smooth.
■ Fixed pins the component during the analysis.
■ Smooth removes the jittering with 0% being the original motion and 100% removing the highest
frequency jitter.
The analysis is complete.
