cover up the actor with a plant to create a clean background
When you’re done, playing through the clip should show that the duplicated area of the image is
still tracking the feature you want to remove.
Image Stabilization in the Tracker Palette
The Image Stabilization mode of the Tracker palette lets you smooth out or even steady
unwanted camera motion within a clip. The analysis is performed in such a way as to preserve
the motion of individual subjects within the frame, as well as the overall direction of desirable
camera motion, while correcting for unsteadiness.
Using the Stabilizer
DaVinci Resolve uses an advanced stabilizer that’s capable of both warping and translation to
minimize unwanted shaking in a clip replaces the classic stabilization tools that were available
previously (these tools are still available should you need specific capabilities of the older
toolset, and are covered in a later section). With a single click of the Stabilize button, the
currently selected clip is analyzed and automatically stabilized using a combination of warping
and image translations.
The default Stabilizer controls
Stabilizer Parameters and Controls
The default settings yield good results for most situations, but there are ways you can
customize stabilization in situations where unique issues arise.
