More often than not, you will be scaling your footage at least a little bit. Some plug-ins have options to generate edges for you but they do not always look right for the scene. The less you need to zoom in, the better, obviously.

Some plug-ins have built-in sharpening options, such as Boris BCC Optical Stabilizer, but you can also try Unsharp Mask or other options for sharpening. When you stabilize a shot, you’ll normally have to scale it, which can soften your shots. This may help remove that little wobble that you can’t seem to get rid of.

Try smoothing a shot, rendering it, and then bringing in that stabilized movie and run stabilization on it again using different settings.

If you are not getting good results, run it through more than once.

Know that up front so you’re not promising results you can’t deliver. I tried several shots that didn’t work while putting together this article.

Fixing it in post isn’t always an option.

Many trackers get confused when your point moves off screen. Also, choose a point that doesn’t move off the screen. Flat patterns like solid blue skies or walls or very busy patterns like water, do not give the tracker much to work with. The reference point should be a corner or pixels with high contrast. Most trackers will require you to choose reference frames and points. Adobe Warp Stabilizer deals with this fairly well compared to other tools.

Sometimes you will end up with rolling shutter ripple effect (warped or jittery results) Quick movements can cause major problems with rolling shutter artifacts and motion blur.

Beware of the rolling shutter ripple effect.

For example, the swimming shots I stabilized in AE Warp Stabilizer turned out great, but Boris BCC Optical Stabilizer wouldn’t give me a good result. Try Imagineer mocha if AE’s Warp Stabilizer isn’t giving you what you’re looking for.

Depending on the footage, some stabilizing tools will work better than others.

In my book, Plug-in to After Effects: Third Party Plug-in Mastery, I did a big section in Chapter 13, I go into detail on stabilization and the tools in After Effects.

Most of the footage that I have that needs stabilization was shot handheld and without much planning, so I didn’t have professional equipment around. Others were shot on iPad, some on Canon 7D and some with other cameras. Not only that, a tripod would not be all that helpful with the movement of the water. I wasn’t about to take a nice camera out on the river, especially since it was my first time kayaking. The footage used in some examples in this article were shot on my iPhone 4 in a kayak and it’s all hand-held. Motion stabilization is used to smooth footage and remove camera shake. Unless you have the ability to stand perfectly still, you will likely need to stabilize the footage in post-production. Maybe you’re shooting in an amusement park, botanical gardens, or a concert and tripods are not allowed in. Sometimes using a tripod is not an option and you’re forced to shoot hand-held.
