Stabilize

Smooth or lock camera motion using a solved track.

Uses a solve to remove shake from footage. Takes Auto Track and Image Sequence, and writes a stabilized sequence to disk.

Because it works from a real 3D solve rather than 2D pattern matching, it knows what the camera actually did.

Result

OptionWhat you get
Smooth MotionKeeps the camera move, removes the high-frequency shake
No Motion (Lock)Removes the motion entirely, as if shot on a tripod

Smoothness (frames) is the half-window of the smoothing, defaulting to 15. Larger values remove slower wobble but eat more framing, so they need more crop.

Framing

OptionWhat it does
Crop & Auto-scaleZooms in just enough that no frame shows a border. The zoom used is reported after the run.
Stabilize OnlyKeeps the full frame, so moving black borders stay visible for you to handle in comp

Output

Format is PNG or JPEG. There's no output socket: press Import as Footage to get a new Footage node pointing at the stabilized frames.
