Stabilizing shaky video footage

[Mitch-K]

Hi everyone,

I have some shaky video footage, which was shot without using a
tripod. About 2 minutes of stable footage and some shaky footage.
Is there any software available to correct shaky video. If so what's
the name of it and where can I find it.

Thank's

One that is mentioned frequently is ProDAD's Mercalli -- it is an Edius plugin with quite a few customization options.

On sale

Go to the Digital Juice site, they have the ProDAD software on sale.

ProDAD's Mercalli

Is fantastic - BUT play with the presets and the fine adjustments together - This application has saved my bacon a few times;-)

Use the ProDAD's Mercalli, I did a review on Mercalli and it's a great product, but as mentioned fine tune the settings a bit.

Cheers

Do you have a favorite setting for Mercalli? One that works well all around for most scenarios?

[swsw1550]

Not really, I don't use it that much to be honest, try a few of the settings and see which one works best for you, sorry I couldn't be more help.

Best setting, use a tripod or steadycam.
If used with good quality HD video, it looks pretty good downresed to SD. SD to SD, well, go to first statement.

Thanks for the tip, to downsize it to SD from HDV, got great results...:)
