Settings For Stabilize Video

[Jaco25dec]

I have just upgraded from Creator NXT Pro (CNP) to Creator Nxt Pro 2. When using Stabilize Video In CNP, I could have acces to a Settings dialog where I coud adjust different settings such as Adjust Zoom, Tabilize Rotation and others. In CNP 2, I get the message that there is no settings for this object. The CNP 2 Help file states that the Stabilize Video Settings is accessed by double-clicking the effect in the Production Editor (exactly as in CNP). As this function is primordial to me, I need it to work correctly. Any idea how to make it work?

It isn't going to work

 

We have reported it but not likely to see a fix anytime soon...

 

Some basics about "software fixes" you should know.

 

NOTHING can make up for the original shot!

 

Keep that in mind every time you start to use a camera or camcorder

 

What the stabilize did was zoom in (you could choose how far) so that it could delete the edges to hold the frames.

 

Now if you had a family gathering you could get a more stable result but cut of the heads and sides losing several generations in the process

 

But to deal with what you have now, check some other software packages for it, you might be able to get a trial version and fix what you have. It did work in the Creator 2012 Suite, so you might consider picking up a used disc of that version (cheap) and go with that

 

Let us know how you make out!

Since the Roxio program has a sometimes bug in this function, I have resorted to a third party program called Mercalli Easy Video Stabilizer. I tried the trial of it and it worked somewhat. I decided to plunk down about $15US for the easy version and it works very well. I did not need to buy the full version but if you really need it, you might look into it.

 

Mercalli is a product of ProDAD. If you do any editing of videos and adding effects, you should know that name.
