Image Stabilizer for iMovieHD6 and OSX10.8.5?

I have a lot of 'wobbly' videos (Iknow I SHOULD use a tripod but these clips are when I've been filming while walking about) and the only one I've seen is by GeeThree Slick, but the problem is that it won't work with OSX10.8.5. as shown below:
I emailed them to ask if they would upgrade it soon and their reply was as follows:
So because Apple have this nasty attitude of blocking third party apps, as shown above, I really need to get an editing stabilizer like the GeeThree one as an alternative.
Can anyone help me please?

I have got a tripod but, as I explained in my post, the wobbly clips are caused by the fact that I was filming while walking about so my tripod would not be any help in that situation anyway. As the problem already exists in the video, I'd like to correct it.
Re your comment about me 'moaning', it's because (copy of information from GeeThree):
Slick Transitions and Effects
Volume Eight
Slick Stabilize
Amazing image stabilization takes out the shakes and jitters from your video. (does not work with Mac OS X 10.7 or later).
So there you have it 'Slick Stabilize does not work with Mac OSX 10.7 or later'. My second 'moan' refers to their reply about updating it (quote from GeeThree's email reply):
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no plan to update the Stabilizer plug-in for Mac OS X 10.7 or later. Since Apple closed the door for us to continue to develop plug-ins, we no longer have the resources to update plug-ins from iMovie HD 6 to the most recent versions of OS X.
Best Regards,
GeeThree Slick Team
For some reason my jpeg files cannot be seen as they would make everything clear about my complaints being justified. You say 'Apple do nothing of the kind', so why does GeeThree say Apple have closed the door to them?

I am just wondering, if Motion4 supports an image stabilization for pictures like jpegs? Well, i have created some hyperlapse/walklapse's and want to
stabilize it as well...
Thank you very much!

Allow 5 axis image stabilization for non system lenses in A7(r)II series

Many people use/will use their excellent non system manual focus non system macro lenses on the A7II and undoubtedly on the soon to be released A7RII. Stabilization in the X/Y planes is very very important for macro. Sony on the A7II only stablizes the X/Y planes for lenses that report the focus distance. Perhaps the lens compensation app can be modified so this data can be manually inputted or even change the firmware to allow this and thus stabilize all 5 axes. Focal length will need to be inputted of course as well. If the new field is left blank, no action is taken as not to affect users not interested in this feature. Olympus somehow allows all 5 axes to be stabilized just by putting in the focal length but it is not clear how they pull that off. Thank you for considering this.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I have done more digging in reviews and recalled sony's announcments which implied on 3 axis IS is available w/o a lens that reports focsing distance. Not my favorite source, but review from PCMag: "If you're using a non-native lens, or even a native manual focus lens like the Zeiss Loxia 2/50, it's stabilized along three axes—yaw, pitch, and roll. There's a technical reason for that. In order to compensate along the x and y axes, the camera needs to know the distance to the subject, which requires electronic communication of the focal distance from the lens to the body. To compensate for the other three axes, the only data that needs to be transmitted is the focal length of the lens. Even if you're using a purely mechanical Leica lensit can be stabilized—you're able to manually enter the focal length via a menu. The only real downside to this is that the A7 II does not add that focal length to the recorded EXIF data, so if you like to track which lens a shot is captured with, you'll need to take notes." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2475439,00.asp A friend informed me that on his A7II he must mount a non OSS Sony lens first to have any image stabilization with any of his totally manual lenses--seems the camera saves the settings of the last lens attached. Turning the cam off doesn't reset this--very odd---seems to be a bug in the firmware. I hope the A7rII is different. This whole issue is quite confusing. Appreciate any additonal clarification.

IMAGE STABILIZER for FCP

Does anyone know of a good Image Stabilizer (and image tracker) for FCP? I have tried the demo of CHVelectronis, and I couldn't figure it out. Avid has one that is extremely intuitive *but, obviously, it doesnt work with FCP).
Any of you worked with an easy to use one for FCP?
Thanks,
David

a stabilizer is built in ... the effect is called SmoothCam (Effects > Video Filters > Video > SmoothCam)
its best to export just the portion of the clip you want to stabilize as a standalone movie file before applying the effect to it as this will minimize the processing time
http://audiovideoproducer.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=165367
for tracking you could use Lyric's Motion Tracking Kit
http://www.lyric.com/fcp-plugins/tracking.htm
but I would use Motion's Match Move

Image quality for background and screen saver

Hi
I have recently upgraded to Aperture 2.1. To take advantage of the additional/improved RAW image features, I have been migrating my older images from their original 1.1 RAW fine tuning to 2.0. However, after migrating most of my library (over 10k images) I have noticed that images using 2.0 have dramatically lost their sharpness when on the background & screen saver display. I have a 30" HD Apple Cinema Display, and the images look fine within Aperture itself. I've looked through the menus on System Preferences and Aperture Preferences but can't see anything obvious that would be causing this lack of quality.
If anyone knows how to solve this I would be extremely grateful - I take a lot of photos, and usually have my most recent images on the screen saver as it helps me to evaluate them prior to culling!
Kind Regards
Vinny

Hi Ian
Thank you for the welcome and advice. I had a look in the preferences for Previews and the settings were not as high as they could be. I have adjusted them to the highest, and also unticked 'use camera jpeg when possible'. This has made a difference.
Thanks again.

Images sizes for DPS and Retina

On this link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/troubleshoot-content-viewer-digital-pub lishing.html#main_Viewer_appears_to_crash_while_launching__while_updating_library__or_whil e_downloading_folios_on_iPad
It says that images should be no larger than 1024x1024px however the retina display is 2048x1536px. So if we are to use 1024px images they will appear lo-res on the retina? Is this correct?

That's an old tech note that should be updated.
The best way to target both SD and HD (retina) devices is to create 1024x768 folios in PDF image format. See Creating multi-rendition articles. Another option is to create both SD and HD renditions, but even if you take that approach, we still recommend sticking to 1024x768 source documents.
For image size, feel free to use high-resolution images for non-interactive images. When the articles are created, these images and all other non-interactive page items are downsampled in the article's image format: JPG, PNG, or PDF. For images in overlays, you'll want to understand the difference between overlays that are resampled (slideshows, scrollable frames, buttons) and overlays that are passed through without compression (pan and zoom, image sequence, and panoramas, along with video and audio). For images in pass-through overlays, create JPG or PNG images in the exact dimensions; avoid scaling. See Best practices for creating overlays.

Hi Paolo Dema.
What are the exact spefications of your computer?
Also did you computer come with 10.6 ot 10.5?.

Not able to use google maps! I've checked add-on, auto loading of images, checked for exceptions and it still "only" says "still loading..."! What's the deal...Would love to use this app to reseach "things to do" for my upcoming vacation! Help. Thx

I think I've covered this from the question I asked!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Image stabilization question...

I have use the image stabilization in Motion and found it very good.
I have also got AE CS3 (Windows) which does not have a good comparitive image stabilization.
What 3rd party plug in should I buy for AE that would do a good job?
(At the moment I am testing out Mocha but the trial version would let me export more than 10 frames !!! So, I can't really tell what a good overall job its done?)
ps: I know its an Apple forum,but I know a lot of users here also have AE and would like to help me out)

You might have better luck at Creative Cow. Lot of AE users hang out there.

IMovie shuts down at the end of image stabilization of a clip.

shuts down each time I use image stabilization for a clip......at the end of the process......

i have no idea how to fix this problem

Multicam Clips in the Timeline and Image Stabilization

I've got a multicam clip in my timeline that I would like to use image stabilization on. What I'd like to do is:
double click on the clip which brings up the angle editor with the range and angle selected.
press cmd-B to blade the clip
turn on image stabilization.
Unfortunately, step one doesn't work. I'm forced to open up the angle editor and manually skim and search for the desired angle and time range. It would be okay if the playhead in the angle editor was slaved to the one in the timeline. Then when you went into the angle editor you'd be right at the desired source material, but no, the two seem to be independant of each other. It makes performing the task much slower and more tedious. So much so I am convinced more experienced users are going to know a quicker way to do it.
So, does anyone know an easier work-around for this?

Thank you Tom and Luis, but I'm not with any of this. I can add a clip to the timeline or insert a clip into it via the "arrow tools". If I attempt to shorten the clip IN the timeline there is a blank space representing the amount trimmed from the clip.
I want the next clip along to that I've trimmed to automatically move along the timeline albeit shortening the total project duration.
Pressing "A" on the keyboard doesn't achieve this.
I simply click on the clip in the timeline to highlight it with the yellow margin. I then click on one "edge" with the arrows symbol and drag the edge inwards. This then leaves the space I do not want.
As for "Preferences" when I click this under "Final Cut Pro" i see nothing either relevant to this problem or that I could trash.

Analyze ALL clips in project for image stabilization

In older versions of iMovie for Mac (I used iMovie '09 until I finally get myself to switch to the recent version) I was able to analyze ALL clips for image stabilization, which took some time but could be accomplished without me sitting in front of my Mac. Now it seems that in iMovie 10 the stabilization feature only works for the selected clip. That means you select it, click the stabilization checkbox and wait and wait and wait. Then you get to make the right setting (percentage) and move on to the next clip, click the checkbox and wait and wait and wait.
I tried selecting all clips with Cmd + A and click the checkbox, and the wheel started to spin. I was already feeling lucky to have found the solution to the afore mentioned problem, but when the wheel stops spinning and I select a random clip, some of them are analyzed but most are not.
Is there any way to have ALL clips analyzed without user interaction?

Welcome to the discussions...
I've had this happen. My guess is that it's related to round-tripping to/from Color, but I can't be sure. IMHO, the sequence is corrupted. I just dealt with it for a while, then rebuilt it by making changes from an earlier version.
Sorry I don't have a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone.
