terrible stabilization error

[Paul_Gringo]

When will the program work NORMALLY? This is a standard function of the program.

Could you please give us more information about your footage and system?

Depending on your footage you may be able to use After Effects Point Stabilization.

More information is needed.

@Paul_Gringo,

I see this regularly if my camera shot has too much movement for the section I'm trying to stabilize. You can't fully stabilize a shot where literally nothing stays in frame. I'll break the shot into parts to let it stabilize the parts that work. And shots like that often aren't worth the trouble. But I've found a way at times by finding the frames where it really goes out, and add a transition, with the stabilization separately on the part before and after.

I don't think I've seen this on footage that was not very challenging.

I have a static video, so your advice is not applicable. Thank you for trying!

[R Neil Haugen]

If it is static, why are you using Warp?

[MyerPj]

Good question @R Neil Haugen 🙂

[Paul_Gringo]

One guy bumped the tripod and there was a slight shake for a few seconds. II want to fix this by stabilizing. What difference does it make to you what happened? I need stabilization, if you can't help, don't write nonsense.

[R Neil Haugen]

If someone gives confusing and incomplete information, how are we supposed to guess? My question was because there was clearly something major missing in your posts.

The post where you note it is just a few seconds of a bump of a tripod shot answered that. Had you given that information originally we would have given useful answers instead of questions. Data like that is crucial.

I would suggest making a subclip of the section that's jiggered. A couple frames before to a couple frames after. Stabilize only that section, and it may take some trial and error of the several different main stabilization methods it can use, and the level used.

You may not be able to completely remove any trace of "something" going on, though.

A couple of quick things you can try.

- Nest the clip and apply the stabilizer on the nest.

- Double check that your sequence settings exactly match that of the clip, sometimes the stabilizer goes crazy when there's a mismatch between the clip and the sequence.

- If you can share the part of the clip that's shaky, maybe we can help you tackle it better.

It doesn't work. The rest of the video is stabilized, but this particular segment is not. I have a 30-minute video, and I only need to stabilize 10 seconds of it, but this particular 10-second segment is not stabilized. No solution was found on Reddit in 2024. When the usual solutions don't work, I write here. Apparently, this is an error in the program code.

Can you cut to b-roll during that 10 seconds?

[R Neil Haugen]

Did you make a subclip, of that 10 seconds, and apply Warp to that? I can't tell.

And Warp is not an AI/machine-learning thing that recreates essentially new images. It only works with the pixels that are there, though it does do some upscaling at times as part of it's process.

If this is a horrid section though, PeruBob's suggestion is about the best that can be done.
