Warp Stabilizer Jump/cut

Hey everyone,

 

I'm editing underwater footage of dolphins that was shot back in 2015. The footage was only shot at 24 fps to get a cinematic look (don't know if this is relevant for this topic). The footage is shot on a GoPro and pretty shaky. So I tried to apply the warp stabilizer effect to make it smoother. It works pretty good, but in every clip I try to stabilize there is a jump/cut. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to get rid of it?

In the attached video at roughly 4 sec there is a jump/cut.

 

Thanks in advance

    If its very shaky then yes it wont be perfect

    What setting did you use.

    IMO underwater footage is best shot at high framerate.

    Low framerate usually require the use of a trypod to get smooth footage. Bit tricky underwater 😉

    I used 15% smoothness, Subspace Warp, Stabilize Crop Auto-scale and Detailed Analysis. Doesn't have to be perfect, but the cut is a bit annoying because I got to edit that out.

     

    Indeed underwater footage is best in high framerate, a client of mine filmed this and wants me to edit it.
