The image may acquire a parallelogram form compared with the subject's true shape, but it may
also be squashed or stretched.
The fully automatic Rolling-Shutter Compensation corrects the weaknesses inherent in CMOS
sensors in post-production, thus enhancing the quality of footage from action cameras, compact
photo cameras, mobile phones and, not least, digital SLR cameras.
If your footage suffers from rolling shutter effect (distortions or image wobble) after stabilization,
this is a problem inherent in your camcorder's CMOS sensor. Mercalli exposes this weakness. You
can now eliminate this effect by enabling the Rolling-Shutter Compensation option in the
Virtual Stabi-Cam area.
Common rolling shutter effects are:
• Jello effect
•
Skew, geometric distortion occurring in pan shots
•
Wobble (similar to heat shimmer)
IMPORTANT:
For Rolling-Shutter Compensation to work correctly, the correct field order for the video must be
used, otherwise the rolling shutter correction will have no effect, or may even produce errors.
