The default analysis works well most of the time, but sometimes you may need to massage the
end results even further. In this project, the clip skews subtly in a few places. Casual viewers
may not notice the problem, but a keen producer will. You’ll change the method that Warp
Stabilizer VFX uses to remove the skew.
1. In the Effect Controls panel, choose Perspective from the Method menu.
2. Choose Stabilize Only from the Framing menu.
3. Increase the Additional Scale to 114%.Note
Scaling a video layer up degrades the image. A good rule of thumb is to increase the
layer to no more than 115% the size of the original source.4. Preview the changes.Now the shot looks rock-steady. The only movement is that caused by the wind and the
swarming bees.
5. Press the spacebar to stop the playback when you’re done.
6. Choose File > Save to save your work, and then choose File > Close Project.As you have discovered, stabilizing a shot can have drawbacks. To compensate for the
movement or rotation data applied to the layer, the frames must be scaled, which could
ultimately degrade the footage. If you must use the shot in your production, this may be the best
compromise.
