How To Stabilize A Shaky Video ?

[Member]

Does anyone knows a software to stabilize a shaky video (below) ? I'm not a very frequent filmer so I don't want to pay for video processing software but perhaps there is a free tool to do this, anyone who knows ? Any good suggestions are welcome, like to learn more about this..

Thanks !

You can try using Virtual Dub + the Deshake filter that you can download for it, as I used here on a video of my own:

It'll take a little setup work to get it to work well, but the results can be quite impressive,. Best of all, it's all free! Good luck with it!

I tried Virtual Dub bud did not understand how to add the deshaker plugin. Today I found this one it's a great all-in-one tool, for everything from de-shaking to subtitles and narrating. Very easy tool and free.

For those interested, here the same video after 'deshaking'. The quality is little less because I had deleted the original and needed to download the YouTube version to edit.

I followed your post just out of interest, always like to learn something new.

The difference between the original and the "deshaked" clip is impressive.

Will keep a note of that program, may come in handy in the future.
