Working with the Motion Stabilizer

517

Advanced Tab (Corner Pin Tracker)

The parameters in the Advanced tab lets you fine-tune the motion tracking for more accurate

results.

Weight Factor menu Sets the weighting factor for each tracker’s contribution to the

average result. This allows you to average the results of multiple

trackers for more precise tracking.

Select a number from the menu to indicate the number of samples

that are taken of that tracker. Typically, you add weight to the

tracker in which you have the highest confidence.

If you are only using one tracker, the parameter has no affect.

Parameter Description

Pre-Blur option Select to apply a blur to the image. The blur temporarily

reduces noise in the footage, which can help produce better

tracks.

Selecting Pre-Blur is recommended when you are

stabilizing footage in which the motion is about one

pixel or less.

Track in Reverse

option

Select to track backwards. Use if the area you want to track

grows larger as the effect proceeds or if the area is off screen

at the beginning of the effect.

Input Channel menu Select an option to determine which channel in the Source

track is used to calculate data. The options include:

Luminance, Saturation, Red, Green, Blue.

Experiment to see which channel produces the best result.

Saturation is useful if the lighting in the effect changes over

time.

Sub-Pixel Accuracy

Allows you to select the accuracy you need from up to 1/256

of a pixel. Smaller fractions provide higher accuracy but

may take longer to estimate.
