Smooth out an object/subject motion

Explorer ,
Feb 25, 2023 Feb 25, 2023

I took a video at 60fps of a piece of art rotating on a lazy susan base. The lazy susan is not automated though so I was rotating it by hand. I tried hard to make the roatation consistent and smooth but unsurprsingly I was unable to make it super smooth. If there a way in Pereiemer or even After effects that can be used to clean up the roatation motion so that it is smooth for the whole 360 degress roation? All I seem to be able to find is warp stabilzer but that does not work as far as my tests show as its really meant for steading the video clip. My camera was on a tripod so the footage is still, its just the motion of the object as it rotates that is not consiostent and smooth. My final piece will be 30fps so I was hoping the fps difference would enable an "effect" to have enought to work with

Any advice welcomed.

It will be a bit of work, but you can try time remapping.

Its a manual process though right? There is nothing that can analyze is it and at least aid if not fix? Its going to be hard to clean it up as it will be hard to see the exact moments it starts and stops being uneven. Thanks for the reply

Can you reshoot on a motorized or windup turntable?

Sadly no. Don't have access to a motorized lazy susan or the object I
filmed.

Perhaps get creative and use screenshots and a stop-motion effect instead of a smooth motion?

Yeah I did that at the same time as I took the video and made a timelapse rotation. I don;t really have enough images to make a smooth one but its ok. I was just hoping / thinking there was also a way to do this time-remapping / motion clean up. Guess the answer is no. I really hoped that an effect like Warp stabilzer would be capable of it or something similar. Thanks for helping me out though. I appreciate the advice/reply,

You may be able to better address this in After Effects.

You can ask here:
