Picture shake stabilizer....

[Rusty]

Thanks - There is a free programme with it to ADD shake - anyone used it for effects?

I've tried it, but it's kind of weird.

Hi,
Go the Pro version of Mercalli, it does have a lot more settings in it to do a lot of custom work.

Cheers

I would get the pro version of mercalli, it certainly will fix your shot and it has more settings for the quality of the shake removal than the standard version

Anton - Is there a difference in the control available between the lite and pro versions?

I have some footage Of 2 people walking ahead of me I am following and although not supposed to be filming - I held the camera and shot some footage.......I captured a real nice moment and would like to use it BUT the proceeding shots are poor - only excessive movement of camera - Focus is fine and overall composition is fine.

I have tryed to stabilize it with EDIUS PIP but its too much to do - In your experience would I have a chance with the EDIUS plug in MERCALLI

Sorry for slight hijack - tis on topic though

Thanks - ! Cath

are you using pro or standard?

that can be hidden by choosing border area: without border upscaled

Even with that stabilizing walking video can make from the center to the outside look like a jelly, not quite syncronized with the movement of the center

Mercalli does give some queer effects with moderate camera movement like the edges of the lens are made of "Jelly"

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 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!

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

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

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

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

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.
