Stabilization

In this section, we’ll go into SynthEyes’ stabilization system in depth, and describe some of the nifty things that can be done with it. If we wanted, we could have a single button “Stabilize this!” that would quickly and reliably do a bad job almost all the time. If that’s what you’re looking for, there are some other software packages that will be happy to oblige. In SynthEyes, we have provided a rich toolset to get outstanding results in a wide variety of situations.

Note : See the section on 360VR for information on how to stabilize 360VR footage.

You might wonder why we’ve buried such a wonderful and significant capability quite so far into the manual. The answer is simple: in the hopes that you’ve actually read some of the manual, because effectively using the stabilizer will require that you know a number of SynthEyes concepts, and how to use the SynthEyes tracking capabilities.

If this is the first section of the manual that you’re reading, great, thanks for reading this, but you’ll probably need to check out some of the other sections too. At the least, you have to read the Stabilization quick-start.

Also, be sure to check the web site for the latest tutorials on stabilization.

We apologize in advance for some of the rant content of the following sections, but it’s really in your best interest!
