If you're filming with a handheld camera, it's likely that there might be some unwanted camera shake visible on the video, especially if you walk or move while filming.
Step 1: On the Timeline, select the clip you need to stabilize. Longer videos take more time to stabilize, so you may want to first cut the video into smaller segments.
Step 2: On the left sidebar, click the Stabilization button.
Step 3: Click Stabilize to open stabilization options. The Stabilization window will open.
Step 4: Set up stabilization with the following parameters depending on the video and the amount of shaking:
Accuracy: affects the analysis precision of the video. Higher accuracy yields the best results, but also takes more time.
Shaking: set how strongly the shaking is visible on the video. If you need more advanced settings, click the arrow under the sliders.
Radius: when a video is stabilized, each object is adjusted using the pixels from the surrounding area. The radius affects how large that area will be. Use a smaller value for more dynamic videos to avoid mixing objects together and to preserve more detail.
Smoothing: limits camera acceleration. Higher values work best for more or less static videos. Excessive smoothing may limit panning.
Edge Cropping: after compensating for motion, some distortion artefacts like blurred areas may appear around the edges.
• None: the edges will remain as they are. Best results if there is little shaking on the video.
• Fixed: the video is cropped to one size to cut off some of the edges.
• Adaptive: whenever there is a lot of shaking, the video will zoom in so that the distorted edges are not shown.
Step 5: Click Stabilize to start processing the video. This may take a while depending on the length of your video and the selected parameters.
Step 6: After the video has been stabilized, you will see its preview in the player. If you're satisfied with the result, click Apply to replace the clip on the Timeline with the stabilized video. If you didn't like the results, repeat steps 4 and 5.
