Warp Stabilize in parts (i.e. split video)

I have a 30min 60FPS video to stabilise. That's... over 100,000 frames. Will take a cool 22 hours or so to do the detailed analysis (if my computer doesn't crash, like it did earlier).

Is it safe to split the video into several shorter clips to stabilise? In other words, does the Warp Stabilizer consider the whole video when stabilising, or just a few frames either side of the target frame?

Thanks!

Dont get you hopes up.


I'm not; it's more just a curiousity for fun I did find it does a pretty good job of keeping the centre in the centre (although the left and right are delicious jelly) - however, at 60x normal speed, that probably won't matter! That's my prediction anyway.

You will imo never get a 30 min properly stabilized.

This is going to be quite some work and patience.

I would chop it up in 2 minutes section or even less.

Stabilize every section and try to match with adjusting position and scale.

Is this clip static or is the camera all over the place?

    Thanks! I'll try that.

    The camera is all over the place. I don't expect it to be perfect, but wondering how good I can get it - especially as after I plan to speed it up (30mins in 30secs). To be specific, the camera keeps panning left right left right, maybe three times a second. In the ideal world I could only keep the frames where the camera is facing directly forward, although I don't see how that's possible (apart from manually deleting 100,000 frames...).

    Does reducing the bitrate increase the analysis speed? If I reduce my video from 30Mb/s to 3Mb/s, would it analyse faster?

    Thanks again!
