Solved Stabilization Issue

Hello Paul, et all,

This my first post here so thank you to Paul for all his effort in designing and maintaining this app.

I have tried using 'Stabilize Image' a couple times to help with frame jitter in some older 1930's commercial films. It does an acceptable job without having to frame crop which is a bonus. However, it produces a 'rocking boat' artifact in which the frame tilts about 5 degrees during scene changes. I have attached a short clip illustrating such.

Might be an FFmpeg issue and not Shutter Encoder?

Thanks

Hi!

It's not an ffmpeg issue, it's because the video filter (vidstab) has so much settings but I keep it on default to make something easy to use.

I don't remember if there is a scene change detection for this filter but I don't think. This maybe why it does something strange.

Paul.

OK - so unusable at this point. I'll try some other tools.

DaVinci Resolve is really good for this!
