The simple and ordinary need for stabilization arises when you are presented with a shot that is bouncing all over the place, and you need to clean it up into a solid professional-looking shot. That may be all that is needed, or you might need to track it and add 3-D effects also. Moving-camera shots can be challenging to shoot, so having software stabilization can make life easier.
Or, you may have some film scans which are to be converted to HD or SD TV resolution, and effects added.
People of all skill levels have been using a variety of ad-hoc approaches to address these tasks, sometimes using software designed for this, and sometimes using or abusing compositing software. Sometimes, presumably, this all goes well. But many times it does not: a variety of problem shots have been sent to SynthEyes tech support which are just plain bad. You can look at them and see they have been stabilized, and not in a good way.
We have developed the SynthEyes stabilizer not only to stabilize shots, but to try to ensure that it is done the right way.
