Shake on a Tracking Out Shark Shot. Trying to get rid of the shake

Question

OK I got a shot that I'm trying to edit that has a little shake to the right which I wanna get rid of.

It's a slo-mo shot of a shark's face which is tracking outwards from, but as it does so, there's a little shake which is noticeable on the shark's eye which kinda ruins the peace of the shot.

Here is the shot, around 0.03 - 0.08 is the shake on the eye.

I wanna get rid of the shake but it's tricky as it's a shot that is tracking outwards, so it's not a stable non moving shot, so it may be hard to 'centralise' to get rid of the shake.

Can anyone advise what is the best way to get the smooth track out and get rid of that shake?

A lot of the issue you are seeing on the eye is blur, not shake. Blur unfortunately is not correctable.

However, if you also want to clean up the micro jumps, you'll want to bring this file into After Effects and use the Stabilize Motion and/or Warp Stabilizer.
