VIDEO STABILIZATION

The idea is really interesting, but I can't answer now. Please create a new topic for image stabilization in "Ideas and suggestions for next versions".

The suggestion is to introduce in PTE (video section) an image stabilyzer.

Almost all video editors have this feature.

My experience shows that SONY VEGAS stabilizer is far better than any other, it has 3 stabilization degrees and it is very much effective in each degree.

For people including videos in PTE projects, this feature in PTE would avoid at least 1 video conversion and consequent quality loss, because, as Igor says, stabilized image should be the original one, and after zoomings, fades, etc., it would be rendered only once (on the PTE converted video file), or so I understood.

Hi Jose,

The Sony Vegas stabilizer is good, but have a look at Mercalli 2 here:

Mercalli 2 (Requires Vista or Higher Win OS) - not for XP

Video industry specialists generally think that the image stabilizer in Adobe After Effects CS6 (Warp) is about as good as it gets...

Hi Lin,

I just had a look (I didn't know none of them).

Mercalli 2, at a first glance, seems very much similar to Sony Vegas in which I use to get similar results.

But, as I understood, it is only for "from Vista on", and I still work with XP.

Anyhow, I just pointed Sony Vegas in my suggestion as an example (3 degrees, roller compensation, etc.) and mainly to point out that it is far better than Adobe Premiere.

Regards,

Jose
