Post-Stabilization, proDAD Mercalli plugin

[Ali.Q8]

Hello all,

I've been heavily involved in aerial photography and videography using remote controlled helicopters for about 2 years now.

one of most valuable tools I have for video production is the proDAD Mercalli stabilization plugin:

proDAD - Mercalli -- Video Stabilizer

Since I went into diving, I tried shooting video and although less severe, shots do seem shaky at times. which is ok since you can cut them out. but what if that shot contains some valuable subject..

I believe this tool will definitely come in handy . It does a very good job for HD videos in almost non destructive way. Check out the samples in the webpage above. No I am not advertising , I just wanted to share this information. As I gain more experience in diving and buoancy, I may begin taking videos and am almost sure this tool will come in handy.

it comes as plugins for some major editing apps like Premiere. I am currently using Sony Vegas Pro and it works like a charm in it.

Cheers
Ali

This product looks like it's got a really decent tracker. FYI If you're an Apple person and have Final Cut Studio 2 it comes with a plug-in called smoothcam. It was taken from Apple's Shake and does an amazing job.
