Shaky video

I'm new to Premiere Elements. Just downloaded AVI video from a Nikon D90. It plays fine in media player, but is shaky and off-time to the point of being unuseable in Premiere. Any tips?

Steve,
Both the Morgan and the MainConcept MJPEG CODEC's work fine in PrPro. I thought that they would work in PrE too. Right now, both are running neck-in-neck, as one user found that Morgan worked, where MainConcept did not, and one user got results from MainConcept, but not Morgan. For all the rest, either has worked 100%.
Personally, I would imagine that the next version of PrPro (and possibly PrE) will contain the MainConcept CODEC, as part of their installations.
Good luck,
Hunt

Shaky Video Playback

I am new to editing and I am currently experiencing shaky video playback in Premiere Elements 12.
I am working from a laptop currently and I am not sure if it is my computer specs which is the issue or software is the issue.
I am recording with Canon Rebel t3i in HD 1080 29fps.
Processor: AMD E-350 1.6 GHz
RAM: 5.6 usable
OS: 64-bit

The answers will be in the details.
The links provided in post 2 are impressive but do not necessarily tell us what you can do in your specific computer environment with your specific source media and your Premiere Elements 12 project in a 64 bit system, assumed to be either Window 7, 8, or 8.1. Please confirm what version/editor of Windows is being used here as well as the size and scope of the projects that you intend to create in the future in the computer environment that you outlined.
Granted "..Part of the issue..." is included as a modifier when your computer rank of 745 was pointed to. At this point, I am not ready to pass judge that your "shaky video playback" is related to your ADM E-350 processor.
Once we know more including
a. Do you have the correct project settings
b. The duration of your Timeline content...what parts of it are shaky, all or just some...if some, have you applied any effects to that content...etc.
c. In spite of "shaky video" seen in the Edit Mode monitor, do you see the same "shaky video" in the export of that "shaky video" Timeline content?
Please review and not be discouraged at this rank "745" just yet. It is interesting information to have in projecting the compability of your workbench to create larger projects. But, once the display issue is defined, then you can explore and experiment in searching for the limits of your setup related to the size of the project.
That is my take on the situation in discussion. Do not give up until all the details are sorted out.
Thanks.

Camileo Clip - shaky video

I bought the clip to use for recording my walks. I tested it using the stabiliser and holding the clip as I walked along, but the resulting video was jumping around so much it was unwatchable! How on earth can I overcome this problem? If I do 'clip' it to myself then the shaking will be even worse as at least in my hand its steadier. I even tried video stabilisation software but the original footage is so unsteady the software cant cope!

Well, I wrote already in your other thread about this camcorder.
The Camileo clip its a fun, party camcorder designed for shooting small segments of an party event. You should not expect too much from this fun camcorder.
As far as I know this camcorder supports the image stabilization
The electronic image stabilization helps you to minimize the shaky video effect but you of course you should not expect too much from a 60 camcorder.

Shaky video help

hi everyone, does any of you know about a nice plugging to reduce shaky video, i know final cut comes with "smooth cam" but theres probably a better plugging that could probably would do a better job so if you know of any good one even if they are not free please let me know
thanks

Core Melt has an interesting plugin

Best way to stabilize shaky video?

Whats the best plugin or standalone way to stabilize shaky video? Are there any free solutions?

Nothing free that I know of, but take a look at iStabilize.

Under iMovie 10.0.2:"Stabilize shaky video"

All I see is a spinning ball on the LHS and a xx% on the RHS. I have no idea whether a section of my project has been stabilised, or not.Grateful for advice please.

Analysis for stabilization takes quite a long time (something like 10 times the suration of the clip). When it is done there should be a white tick against the 'Stabilize Shaky Video' above the viewer.
When you say you see a spinning ball is this the mac 'beachball'? Does it stop or does imovie become unresponsive?
On the LHS and RHS of what?

Shaky Video when Burned to DVD

Hello all,
Call me an amatuer when it comes to camcorders. I have a Sony DCR-SR40 HDD camcorder and when I take video recorded on this device, transfer to my Mac, and then edit in HD 6, the video (when played back on a DVD) comes out shaky for action video where people are moving. It is almost like there are tracers when they are moving.
When the raw footage is played back in its native mpg format it looks fine, and when it is burned using Sony's "One Touch" DVD burn the video is not shaky or look like it has tracers, it looks fine. I am thinking it has to do with the quality of the image being recorded by the video camera and that when it gets compiled/burned to DVD it causes the shakiness. It has done this in iMovie HD 6 and in Adobe Elements 3.0. Is there a fix for this?
If it is just a camcorder issue, any recommendations for a good quality camcorder to capture sports footage (Football) that would burn great in iMovie and not have that shakiness/tracers?

>MPEG2 exported from Premeire, to quicktime, to encore
That is, to me, a backwards work flow
Mpeg2 is an output format... but you are using it as your source file in Premiere... what is the source of the file?

You are then exporting to Quicktime... which Encore must then encode to MPEG2 to make a DVD (the VOB on a DVD is a renamed MPEG)
You are starting with a compressed file... exporting which may add more compression... and compressing again in Encore... it is no wonder your DVD has lost quality

Shaky video, less quality after exporting

Hello everyone!
Today i tried recording a Euro truck simulator 2 video, and after that a Sniper Elite V2 video with Fraps. The output files become .AVI files.
It looked perfect when i was looking at the raw footage, aswell as when i edited it and saw it in the preview window of Premiere Pro CS5. Im running it clean, so i've added nothing to it.
Im running on Windows 8.
Though, when i exported it, it started getting a little shaky getting a rather big quality loss aswell as black borders appearing in the video that i fixed in the preview/editing.
If anyone can help me out, i'd appreciate it. i have googled and looked at all the results that i've found and nothing have helped. I think its my third or fourth attempt on exporting and still failing at this time, and its the first video EVER to do this, which is abit weird.
My Export Settings :
Video Settings:

Shaky Video on DVD

Hi.
I've asked this question on the FCE forum too, so forgive the repeat, but I may get some other eye's to view it here.
I have video that looks shaky when the subject is moving.
I created the video in FCE, then exported a self contained FCE movie. I pulled it in to iDVD, and burned a DVD. It looked terrible when there was motion.
I also tried pulling the file in to toast 6 and burning to a dvd that way. It looked better, but still bad.
When I watch the video on a monitor while playing in FCE it looks just fine. Also, when I open the exported file and play it (it plays out of FCE) it still looks fine on the monitor. Only after encoding and burning does the sequence go bad.
I've made plenty of movies in the past without this problem. I dont know what I have done to bring this on.
Please help!
Dave

Shaky Video during movement

Hi.
I have a video that I created (you can see it at www.spacenelson.com - follow the links to the Burn video) that is giving me fits.
After I was done with it, I moved the files from a working drive to a USB drive for storage. After a while, I needed to make a new copy of the video, so I moved the files back to the internal drive. After quite a bit of fussing around, I have the video working again in FCE.
I exported a self contained movie, and tried to burn it to DVD using toast 6.0. When I watch the video now, the areas where the camera moves, or the subject moves quickly, the video is no longer clear. I tried burning it using iDVD, but it was even worse - the shaky parts showed large 'squares', or digital distortion stuff.
Any ideas what I did, or how I could get the video to work well again?
Thanks!

I try to summarize:
- you may use the de-interlace or the flicker filter to remove interlacing artifacts, as Ian suggests (anti-alias filter is another option to test).
- you can try Dave's suggestion: make sure the Field Dominance is Lower (Even) for your sequences and Not Set for DV captured clips.
To check/correct dominance for the input clips in the browser use List View and look at their Field Dominance field.
To check/correct dominance for the clips in the timeline instead you have to select each clip and Item Properties (cmd-9).
Corrections are possible using the contextual menu over the field value.
- as Ian suggests, when the target support is a DVD, it's better to check results during editing on interlaced monitor (TV) connected through firewire + A/D converter/camera.
- to burn with iDVD you must Export/QuickTime Movie (not: Using QuickTime Conversion).
I hope this clarifies

IMovie problem - shaky video after exporting

I'm trying to make a DVD from some video I shot of a wedding. The movie looks great in iMovie 09, and I simply want to burn it to a disk. The problem is that some of the video clips in the movie become terribly shaky after I export it to iDVD or to QuickTime. I don't know how to stop this - I have the movie just the way I want it in iMovie, but it's practically worthless once I export it. The video is from a new Samsung HD camcorder, model HMX-H200. I think I shot the video in HD. I'm using iMovie 09 and iDVD version 7.0.4. Would appreciate any suggestions!

Nope -- you have your answer.
Sounds like you want to put data files (movies) onto a data holder and play it from there.
I like File - Export - Quicktime Conversion - Change Default to BROADBAND HIGH and hit the options button and change the SIZE to 480x270 if you want widescreen or leave it as is for 4:3.
Those should play fine on data media like a CD or a data dvd.
NOW -- if what you really want is your media saved on a DVD so you can play it on a set top DVD player (or any dvd player for that matter....) that's another story.
Is THAT what you want to do?
Else - pull the media you've saved on the DATA media and put it on your HD... will play fine from there.

Shaky Video after export

Hello. I've posted on this before, but havent quite found my answer.
I have video with some motion in it that looks shaky when I burn it to DVD. Someone suggested that I try adding the De-Interlace filter to correct it, but that doesnt seem to be it. I can watch the video from FCE on a TV going thru my camera and it looks fine (with or without the De-interlace filter). But when I export the video as a self contained movie, then pull it in to toast, and burn a DVD, the motion looks bad on the DVD. I also tried going thru iDVD, and there it looked even worse.
This problem is new to me. I've had video with motion before and didnt have this issue.
Any ideas????
Thanks!

I also read your earlier posts on this topic.
From your description I'd exclude de-interlacing and the field dominance problem: you detect these issues before burning if you Print to Video or playback through the firewire connection to a interlaced TV. And you did that.
So export might be the problem. Let me however suggest a test to check if the Export process from FCE or the burning process by Toast or iDVD is the issue.
After export you could try to open the exported .mov (with Export/QuickTime Movie !) using QT Pro, open the property window (cmd-J), select the video track, open the view settings (or something alike, I have the Italian version...) and check High Quality. Then in the main window if you go through the shaky part frame by frame (right arrow) you should see how each frame looks:
- If a frame has a comb effect (due to the fact that its 2 fields have different timing) that's not necessarily bad: what you see is interlacing, that should be correctly handled by the playback device (whether through firewire from FCE or when recorded on DVD).
- But if frames jump back and forth, then you might have a field dominance problem.
If interlacing or field dominance is a problem, however as I said above, you should see it also when you watch the movie connected to a TV.
To cross check, in FCE you can set the canvas window to 100% (no more e no less) and repeat the frame by frame test I suggest above in QT Pro: if the behaviour is the same the problem is in the use of Toast or iDVD, if they behave differently in FCE (better) and QT (worse), then Export is the culprit.
This doesn't solve your issue, but it might help in understand it.
I hope I did not confuse your ideas...

Shaky Video With Vixia HF R42

Hey folks. I recently purchased the Vixia HF R42. Great little camera. I like the quality of video I'm getting. I have one major issue however. My main use for the camera is videographing trains. I use a tripod, a nice little Manfrotto model. My issue is that as the train passes, the train sends vibrations through the ground, and this shakes the tripod only a little. My previous model, the FS100, didn't pick these vibrations up at all and always gave me smooth video. This was with the image stabilization completely off. With the stabilizer off on the R42, it looks like the camera is having a seizure at best. With the image stabilization on, standard, powered, or dynamic, the video is slightly less shaky, but there is no difference between the different versions of IS. I'm looking for suggestions on how to cure this issue seeing as I didn't have it with my FS100. I used a friend's much heavier tripod today. It made a bit of a difference, but not significant enough to get me to shoot with it all day. Any insight and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi NW_1218,
The motion you're seeing is probably caused by the Image Stabilizer. I recommend turning it off or setting it for the "Tripod" mode, as shown below:
During (Auto) and (Baby) mode, the IS icon will change depending on the shooting situation.
In other shooting modes, you can set the image stabilization manually.
The different Intelligent IS marks in (Auto) mode and how to set the image stabilization are listed below.
Intelligent IS
NOTE
Set automatically when the [Camera Mode] is set to (Auto), or (Baby) mode.
Icon Shooting method
(Dynamic IS)
Most general situations; Zooming out (zooming toward W); Following subjects at a distance moving left or right
(Powered IS)*
Zooming in (zooming toward T)
(Macro IS)
Close-up of a subject
(Tripod mode)
Remaining stationary, such as when using a tripod
* You can turn off Powered IS through the [ Main Functions] panel.
Setting the image stabilization mode
IMPORTANT
When the [Camera Mode] is set to [ ] (Auto) or [ ] (Baby) mode, this setting cannot be made. Please make the setting in either [ ] (Cinema), [ ] (Special Scene) or [ ] (Program AE).
1. Turn on the camcorder.
2. Touch [ ].
3. Drag your finger left/right to bring the [Other Settings] menu to the center, and then touch the icon to open it.
4. Drag your finger up or down to bring [Image Stabilizer] into the orange selection bar, and then touch the button.
5. Touch desired IS mode.
IS mode Shooting method
Dynamic
Compensates for a higher degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting while walking, and is more effective as the zoom approaches full wide angle.
Standard
Compensates for a lower degree of camcorder shake, such as when shooting while remaining stationary, and is suitable for shooting natural-looking scenes.
Off
Use this setting when the camcorder is mounted on a tripod.
6. Touch [ ].
