17a Stabilize Module - Basics [Mocha Essentials]

Stabilization is one of the most common and important VFX tasks. Mocha offers a number of different ways to deal with this, from full lockdown to art directed smoothness. This project shows the basics of the Stabilize module and how it works with the tools we already know.
You will feel more confident about using the Stabilize module and how to render it out again in your host.

Very good that's superb tut's

[@TheProVideo]

thank you it was useful

[@borisfxlearn]

Excellent. Glad to hear that and thanks for watching.

[@BatonyRobson]

so what to do with the bottom part? How can we stabilize with two planes simultaneously?

[@borisfxlearn]

That sort of thing can often be done using PowerMesh to do the multi-planar warp. Remember to add in track mattes to cut out the moving elements.

What is rolling shutter ? and how does it differ from global shutter ?

[@borisfxlearn]

The simple way of thinking about it is that rolling shutter captures the image as a stream from top to bottom. This takes a little bit of time (measure in milliseconds but still time), so by the time the capture is complete on that frame, the subject may have moved slightly. Global shutter captures the entire image at once, so everything in the frame is from the same moment in time. The practical upshot of this, is that with a rolling shutter, you can get the jelly wobble effect if the camera is moving back and forth. Straight lines aren't straight and movement is a bit off. Does that explain it enough for you?

@@borisfxlearn Yes it does. So how do you deal with footage with rolling shutter ? And also another question, is mechanical shutter the same global shutter and is electronic shutter the same as rolling shutter ?
