executive summary: i would like to view the parameters for the distortion that warp stabilization applies to a given frame, and then copy that single-frame distortion effect over to another frame (of another clip that hasn't been warp stabilized). i'd also like to know if i can copy the whole stabilization effect as a sequence of distortion keyframes of some kind, but i don't have an explicit use case for that, i'm mostly just curious.
my specific use case is this: i film a lot of dance and also have to edit dance footage taken by other. this footage involves a lot of dynamic camera movement and occasional shakiness or mistakes. sometimes i want to apply warp stabilization to only a small segment of a clip, to fix a filming tic without warping unrelated motion elsewhere.
what i've been doing is cutting around the bit i want to stabilize using the perspective distortion mode, and then applying the corner pin effect to the un-warped clips to line them up with the warped clip at the cut point(s). this is very tedious, and after doing it a few times, i'm hoping someone can enlighten me about a better way—in my mind, ideally, i could just "transfer" the perspective (or even subspace) warp for the first/last B frames to the A and C clips, and things will just line up.
