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 Position the positioner to 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.
2D Transform is accessed either from the Tools tab or from Connect FX.
To stabilize Motion, Scaling and Rotation using 2D Transform:
1 Select Pan & Scan from the Transform Type box.
2 In the Stabilization tab, select the Enter Stabilizer button.
You are in Stabilizer.
3 Position Tracker 1 over a pattern that you want to stabilize.
4 For stabilizing scaling and rotation you must position Tracker 2 over a pattern.
5 Click Analyze to generate the stabilization data.
6 Fine-tune the data if necessary. See
Tracking Difficult Shots and Correcting Errors (page 735).
7 Once you are satisfied with the stabilization, exit back to 2D Transform.
8 Enable the Components (Position X, Position Y, Scaling, Rotation)that you want to stabilize.
9 Adjust the framing options as you need (Roll, Fill, Crop Edges, Letterbox, Shift).

Stabilizing a Clip from Action Axis
You can import stabilizing data to lock the position of an axis in relation to a reference point on attached
media. This means that any movement in the media is matched by the axis.
To stabilize a clip from Action Axis:
1 From the Action Axis menu's Tracking tab, select the media to be stabilized from the Use Media field
(to stabilize the Back media, select 0).
2 In the Axis menu for the selected media, make sure that the motion path is disabled (Path button).
NOTE Do not move the axis from its default position at the centre of the image window before entering
the Stabilizer, or else the tracking data will be overwritten. Use the offset axis to add an offset to the tracker
movement instead.
