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

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?

@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.
