For more information, see the Stabilization section of the manual.

Get Tracks. Button. Acquires the path of all selected trackers and computes a weighted average of them together to get a single net point-of-interest track.

Stabilize Axes:

Translation. Dropdown list: None/Filter/Peg. Controls stabilization of the left/right and up/down axes of the stabilizer, if any. The Filter setting uses the cut frequency spinner, and is typically used for traveling shots such as a car driving down a highway, where features come and go. The Pegged setting causes the initial position of the point of interest on the first frame to be kept throughout the shot (subject to alteration by the Adjust tracks). This is typical for shots orbiting a target.

Rotation. Dropdown list: None/Filter/Peg. Controls the stabilization of the rotation of the image around the point of interest.

Cut Freq(Hz). Spinner. This is the cutoff frequency (cycles/second) for low-pass filtering when the peg checkbox(es) are off. Any higher frequencies are attenuated, and the higher they are, the less they will be seen. Higher values are suitable for removing interlacing or residual vibration from a car mount, say. Lower values under 1 Hz are needed for hand-held shots. Note that below a certain frequency, depending on the length of the shot, further reducing this value will have no effect.

Auto-Scale. Button. Creates a Delta-Zoom track that is sufficient to ensure that there are no empty regions in the stabilized image, subject to the maximum auto-zoom. Can also animate the zoom and create Delta U and V pans depending on the Animate setting.

Animate. Dropdown list: Neither/Translate/Zoom/Both. Controls whether or not Auto- Scale is permitted to animate the zoom or delta U/V pan tracks to stay under the Maximum auto-zoom value. This can help you achieve stabilization with a smaller zoom value. But, if it is creating an animated zoom, be sure you set the main SynthEyes lens setting to Zoom.

Maximum auto-zoom. Spinner. The auto-scale will not create a zoom larger than this. If the zoom is larger, the delta U/V and zoom tracks may be animated, depending on the Animate setting.

Clear Tracks. Button. Clears the saved point-of-interest track and reference track, turning off the stabilizer.
