Anti-Shake Plug-in For Edius

[THoff]

I used the trial on some footage of mine, and while I tried hard to like it, I could not come up with something that didn't have conspicuous artifacts or heavy blurring along the edge of the clip.

Maybe the trial version is behind with updates, but the issues with the Mercalli output were just as objectionable as the shaky source that I started with.

I agree with Rusty, Mercalli is fast as I get 5 to 7x RT during analyzing process with all 4-cores running +94%! I have Mercalli Expert that gives you more control settings.

As for quality issues I was getting softness with older revision, but the latest update fixed the softness issue as I was doing frame by frame comparison with 720p/480p footage on a 480p timeline with no shakes.

I also use ProDAD's Heroglyph for Animated Map Routing, Titling Effects plus I use Vitascene for it's RT GPU Filmlook Effects all within EDius v4.51c.

ProDAD's support is top notch! If you have a problems just email them as they respond within 1-2 days (or after a weekend) depending when the email sent.

Mercali works in EDIUS but there are some quality issues.
The are more apparent quality footage.
There where reports on those problems in other threads.
If these little quirks can be worked out it will be an awesome addition to EDIUS.

I'm currently using Mercalli and it flat-out smokes in Edius.
It's also bundled with Shake and it does as the name suggests.
I recall a thread a while back looking for a way to "shake" a video. This does it!

An NX bundle would be quite attractive.

I've talked to some people who have used it on Adobe and they like it better than 2D3's steadymove, Mercalli also does HD, only drawback I've heard about is no keyframing, you have to do the entire clip or isolate sections of it by razor

They certainly do - a few users here have been running it through it's paces too, with some trialling beta builds to iron out the kinks.

I believe we're creating EDIUS NX + ProDad bundle packages for Europe.

Prodad, makers of Vitascene, Adorage, etc. now has a anti-shake plug-in for Edius 4.x called Mercalli
