Smooth Camera Path - Using the virtual Stabi-Cam
The option Smooth Camera Path allows the stabilization of a video to be turned on or off. You
can analyze and correct your shaky video by means of different Stabi-Cams. For this, select a
suitable Stabi-Cam (the default is the Universal Camera).
Information for using the virtual Stabi-Cams
As every video is different in its makeup, we recommend starting the video analysis or
stabilization with the default Stabi-Cam Universal Camera.
If, against the expectations, the stabilization result of your video is not optimal, there are more
Stabi-Cameras available, such as the Glide Camera and the Rock-Steady Camera. These have
different presettings and are specialized devices. But if you want your video to resemble a video
taken with a tripod, use the Stabi-Cam Rock-Steady Camera; this camera comes close to the
quality of a video taken with a tripod.
The Stabi-Cam Action Cam is used if you are recording images with many movements (e.g. an
action-riddled camera drive). Here, only the extreme disquiet in the video will be stabilized.
The Stabi-Cam Forensic Camera stabilizes very strongly to show the differences. This is the
general opportunity to get into the forensic view; here, the correction affected by Mercalli can be
better evaluated.
We also recommend trying the available Stabi-Cams to find the best stabilization possible. These
Stabi-Cams may create better results than the Stabi-Cam Universal Camera in exceptional
situations. However, these Stabi-Cams are subject to very specific environmental conditions,
which, especially when viewed as a combination, are very complex.
There is also the option of a permanent Saving or Resetting of stabilization settings.
