Picture shake stabilizer....

[AJL14]

G'day everyone. On some long telephoto shots, my camera still exhibits some "shake" in the picture. There used to be a couple of third-party programs that would help eliminate camera shake. Anyone know of one that works with EDIUS and HD? Many thanks. Alan

Boris FX and RED4:

Get the demo from their site and try if it fits your needs.

You can use Autodesk's Combustion to do the Job...It works just fine for me...However there is not any connection with Edius...You have to render the stabilized project in Combustion and then import the file in Edius to do the final editing

Here's a video tutorial where you see how to stabilize footage with RED:

After Effects is also excellent for this.

Until we see an AE plugin for Edius I'll use Boris products ;-)

G'day Alan.
It didn't work too well for me the other day and I had to drop it, but that was very unstable/shaky footage.

But, if as you say, it is 'some shake', try 3DPIP and keyframe it stable there and see what you get.

Hd ??

Thanks, guys. really appreciate the input. However - nowhere on the Boris site do I see that either of their products is capable of handling HD - 1440x1080 video. Especially Boris fx. Even their demos show SD. Any experience with this?
Thanks again, Alan.

Boris supports many resolutions...that is when I used Boris Red.

One of the solution to your problem is that, you can use Prodad Mercalli to stabilize your
video scene, it is very useful.

Mercalli

Hi,
I suppose I better support the company that I do reviews for, Go with ProDad Mercalli, this program is great to fix camera shake.

Cheers

I agree with Steve. What about Mercalli?
Might be OK for your requirements

Mercalli actually works well, but with all stabilization software it will exhibit some anomalies that some may find odd or occasionally downright freaky! I think there's a demo available at prodad.de. Worth a look, fer sher!

Yes I agree MERCALLI is the way to go, the Boris Red stabilizer does not really work well compared to mercalli. In fact If you probe the Boris site they infer the Motion trackers do not work in Edius, but they do to some extent.
Also requires intensive rendering and "Shift+Q" to give a rendered file on the timeline, then in HD change the interlace to lower field as found by Anton.
Mercalli does give some queer effects with moderate camera movement like the edges of the lens are made of "Jelly"
