Perfect stabilization - tips & tricks
After running the video analysis and the first playback of the stabilized footage, you may well be
satisfied with the result – but perhaps it is possible to do even better. Check the following points
and you may be able to further improve the stabilization of your video.
•
Are you using the correct Stabi-Cam?
Although the Universal profile will improve your footage in all cases, in certain situations it makes
sense to try out a different Stabi-Cam in order to produce the perfect result.
•
Camera-Dynamic Yes/No?
Enabling the Keep Camera Dynamic option can have a major impact on your footage. For instance,
if you have shaky footage of a scenery WITHOUT any intended movements of the camera, it is
better to disable this option, in order to eliminate the shake as unwanted camera movement. You
would see considerable improvement in a scene of this kind with Keep Camera Dynamic on, but
better stabilization can be achieved with it off.
So when does it make sense to use Keep Camera Dynamic?
Whenever a scene has been filmed with intentional camera motion, such as panning or tracking
shots or similar movements.
What does Avoid Border mean?
Switching on the Avoid Border mode first of all hides the empty (black) areas of the image that
result from shifting the image to stabilize it. This is done by zooming the video.
As a result, the greater the degree of shake in the video, the greater the zoom factor in the
stabilized footage.
But Mercalli V2 also features a new Smart Border Technology. It tells the user by visual signals
that in certain parts of the footage a very high zoom factor would be necessary in order to
perfectly stabilize the video. The user can then choose either to have complete stabilization of
these parts of the video or trade a lower degree of stabilization at individual points for a lower
zoom factor. The advantages of less zoom are a sharper image and preservation of original details.
The user decides what is most important for the footage in question and is not constrained by an
automatic rule.
The parts of the video where the user can decide are indicated as follows:
This signal enables the user to make adjustments interactively during playback and either
increase the degree of stabilization or shift the weighting towards less zoom. This simple manual
intervention lets the cutter fine-tune the fully automatic stabilization to suit individual tastes and
objectives, and should thus meet all needs.
