in the opposite direction in accordance with the wrong movements.
This produces unusable edges in the footage that are cut off automatically,
and black strips, which are then removed using a zoom shot. The result: A
clearly more stable, almost imperceptibly larger picture.
Application
First you have to check the movie material for shaky scenes. To do this click
on the "Stabilize" button. Based on the preset parameters, a relative shift
between the pictures is calculated. After concluding the analysis, take a look
at the suggested correction, then use the slider for further adjustments.
Once you are happy with the final correction click OK. If the first scan did
not provide a satisfactory result, try changing the parameters below and
repeat the process.

Stabilizing radius: To prevent the
motion stabilizer from recognizing
every camera movement as
unwanted shakiness, you can
determine the radius within which
movement is acceptable. The
larger the stabilization radius, the
more shakiness is corrected.
Note: Changing this parameter will require reanalysis of the source footage.
Analysis area: This area determines the area of the footage that should be
analyzed. The center of the image is preset. If shakiness occurs in another
part of the picture, relocate the analysis area. To do this, use the lasso to
"capture" the shaky area.
Temporal smoothing: This value determines the speed of the movements
considered blurry. This allows you to differentiate between a panning shot
and a nervous hand-held shot. Changes to this value are immediately
applied.
Cancel: Exits the dialog without making changes to the settings.
