I am 2 minutes into the video and this is exactly what I was looking for. Clear and concise and easy for a noob like myself to understand. Thank you.

[@brianjosephmedia1086]

I can't believe you actually had the courage to make a tutorial on this to say; "if one doesn't work try another one", literally what everyone is doing already. "Smoothness tells resolve how smooth the movement should be". No kidding.

[@CarlosRosalesRoca]

Very informative and didactic, I'm just working on a video and did not know how to operate the stabilization in version 15 of davinci. thanks for your time.

[@SeptemRoptem]

Very useful, I'm loving it. I think this was an older version, we now have this option in inspector. Thank you mate!

[@arthurlucena4048]

best video on stablization i've ever seen. Great job

[@rusticagenerica]

I would like to thank you for talking about stabilization. Deepest gratitude.

[@jespinosa7691]

This was the perfect video I needed to my drone footage way smoooother !!! Thank you my friend!

[@seanstarr1003]

Would love to know exactly how each of those algorithms work, to be more precise about my editing decisions, rather than trial and error-ing through each type.

[@pwarner]

from the resolve manual (p460) that comes with your install - Perspective: Enables perspective, pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation analysis and stabilization. - Similarity: Enables pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation analysis and stabilization, for instances where perspective analysis results in unwanted motion artifacts. - Translation: Enables pan and tilt analysis and stabilization only, for instances where only X and Y stabilization gives you acceptable results.

[@NJP76]

@@pwarner Thank you! This really helps with deciding which one to use. I will still do a little trial and error testing from time to time, but this helps put a better perspective on how the various modes work. Looks like I am going to be spending some quality time with the manual. There is much to learn in there. Thanks again.

Thank guys very much, with this i can share the info to others and begin to build up my editing skills!

[@ChrisConner1]

This was super helpful. Is there a guideline about which modes work best with different kinds of motion?

[@Didvere]

Very good videos!, love your cat. I will like to add that If you are using output blanking you can uncheck the zoom box so you can move the image accordingly to the bars, the bars will hide the cropping too

[@saneauto]

Thank You. I will use this in my Repair videos, tool reviews, and to make my show car feature videos so much better. So great that you show the 3 options and still go into detail about the smooth feature and the cropping.

[@adisgodona]

i have never watching short and clear explanation like this, i love your accent tooo. thanks a lot, i learned from,you a lot,

[@PhilosophiesofTravel]

simple, clear, to the point, great vid

[@Air50HE]

That was a good explanation. Thank you.

[@davidpeters.photography]

Thank you! Is there a way to know which mode i have to use? It would save time...

[@marcus3d]

If I have a long video with 1 sharp jerk then selecting zoom crops the whole video even if 99% of the time there's no need to crop to avoid empty borders. How can I make it zoom in when the borders are larger and zoom out when they are smaller?

[@FlydreamMedia]

I had no idea about the three modes. You just saved my mini 2 footage I was doing for a client. In the middle of a flight, a tug boat was spraying in the air, as I was flying, the spray came right at me and I had to walk and fly while tracking a paddle boat.

[@ririlan2137]

Thanks Alex, Great Friday tip. Have a nice week-end :)

[@recursoseninternet]

another great video, but, none of Davinci's stabilization methods seems to work with the gimbal videos and the bounces produced by the steps (the Y-axis) :(

[@SamRoseChi]

Your videos have really helped me. Thank you! 😊

[@bobleinders981]

I really love your tutorials! Thanks man!

[@AvisKosherKitchen]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow, concise and informative video.

[@tomghzel]

The 3 modes are 3 different modes. I was hoping on something more, so that I don't have to try and find out, but know what the mode is looking at to stabilize, so I have a better understanding directly which of the 3 modes would be best to use on a certain clip. Davinci's own video says: weakest to strongest. With Adobe there's a very clear difference between subspace warp or position, scale, rotation. Perspective is what usually gives the bad result, not making the video more shake, it is changing the perspective on heavy shakes which makes it look like the background is wobbling.

[@OllyJelleyWildlife]

Really concise!! Nice one :)

[@RacksmileSalek]

Always on Point! Thanks for the valuable info!

[@slworking2]

Does the free version not have stabilization? My DaVinci Resolve looks nothing like this. No option anywhere to turn on tracker window.

[@RedBeardOps]

Very Helpful!

[@1337ghomri]

Thanks. That helped me out a lot. I couldn't get it to work. I was close to switching back to Premier Pro just to use warp stabilizer again.

[@dreamcreationssrilanka825]

Thanks a lot Bro. I'm Switching to Resolve from Premier. This video is Very helpful ✌😎

[@BampFilm]

Would be great to also look at the classic stabiliser if possible?... I find the interactive mode helps track static objects that are not moving (like a parked car or lamp post)... sometimes the GPU stabiliser will mimic the movements of the subject

[@christianfretz3081]

Great tutorial, thanks a lot!!

[@jkerman5113]

[@TeaJayPhotography]

Amazing! Have to try this next time since I have often encountered that stabilizing yielded worse footage than without it.

[@nevillet.chompington5039]

This is such a basic noob question, I know; but, how do I fit the resolve window so I can access the tabs at the bottom of the screen (Macbook 2012), so I can switch modes. I'm currently in edit mode. I have never been able to open the color editing tabs that allow for grading, tracking, etc. I have watched a lot of videos. None of the resolution tips, deactivating dual monitors tips, none have helped. Is easier user interface what the paid version gives you? My interfaace just doesn't have the same options/settings/color wheels as your. I found the stabilize tab by dragging the resolve window off screen as far as i could, and seeing the color icon on the bottom in a gap behind my mac's icon bar, but it only stabilized stills of my clip? Thanks for all your great and informative videos. I've learned a lot. Just not how to resize my window! LOL!

[@nevillet.chompington5039]

For example: where is the tracker window?

[@cdmikelis]

Is there any solution yet for foreground object that throw stabilization off and produce jittery movement? In Premiere I used to do long workaround to make clip with black mask on it for what I do not want to track, than track that, than copy paste effect on clean clip. Fiddly. In Resolve there is old stabilizer where I can delete point from certain object frame to frame, but no luck... your videos are among the best (I'm your buyer too), but whole internet just show perfect examples where all plays fine. In my real world 90% of shots are tricky shots. Let say footage from GoPro where BMX stunts were made. Davincy Stabilizer fails miserably in all modes.

[@furulevi2]

How do you stabilize a clip without zooming in all the time, just when needed? For example if in a portion of the video the camera was on a tripod and later it was moved, then on tripod again. I don't want to cut before and after the shaky portion.

[@Moses_Kanneh]

Thank you very helpful. Still learning Resolve.

[@CFK83]

hi, is it possible to track a dead pixel while adding stabilization for a shaky clip? I'm dealing with that issue. A good clip, but lightly shaky and my camera has a dead pixel, that I can fix within DaVinci, but if I put the stabilization on the clip, the dead pixel isn't anymore hidden...

[@RobinStanford]

Great explanation. Thanks for the help

[@picchioknossus8096]

Hi I recently subscribed. Your tips are very useful however I am not able to correctly stabilize action cam footage mounted on a bike. Obviously the footage is very shacky but the point is that every stabilisation mode with various settings results in a video that jumps around every second or two and is very wobbly. The wobblyness can be reduced correcting the lens distortion (though not removed completely) but the jumpyness remains. Can you please help me stabilizing action cam footage?

[@MOTOMINING]

How do I get the colour wheels and stabilizer controls beside each other? I'm on v16 on Windows. Thanks!

It works u just go to inspector on edit page, scroll down to “stabilize” section and double click

@@chocothecat4182 yes, thank you, it worked well. I was just trying to use it on composition clip at first. Wanted to get all my clips at the same time.

[@ryta5465]

I have been using Davinci for a year and didn't know that Davinci has this feature. I was always trying to use a gimbal or tripod to stabilize my camera movement..

[@DocMicha]

One question, could you improve pan stuttering video (so called judder) with these stabilizing filters?

[@aboyiphilippa1136]

I had a problem with the cropping but you solved it I think. thanks. Kisses. Bye.

[@vaisakht.p6388]

how can we stabilize multiple clips at a time can you do a video?

[@TheHirade]

Exactly what I was looking for👍subed... Love cats btw :)

[@DarylBaines]

DaVinci Resolve 16 - stabilisation is now in the inspector and so much easier to manage ... but is there any difference between stabilisation in tracker vs inspector? Also, how do I stabilise on a single object in the clip? Someone walking through the clip and I want to keep her exactly centred but the background moving to maintain her head exactly in the centre of the frame. (it's for an effect in a music video)

[@f00tieh3d]

I’m just commenting here in case someone gives you an answer, because I’d like the answer to this too 😂

[@abhishekgalshar5696]

can you certificate after finished online course

[@DanielAx]

Nice video. Have you compared the Resolve Stabalizer against Warp Stabalizer in PP? I feel like Warp Stabalizer still gives the best results and crops the least. That's literally the only feature holding me with PP.

[@pearlmyghty2058]

So you are stuck in pp because of stablization? You heard of camera gimbal? Coz u missing big

[@DanielAx]

@@pearlmyghty2058 I need the flexibility of shooting handheld.

[@pearlmyghty2058]

@@DanielAx you can lessen the shaking by moving a little less which is challenging depending on your creation. But either way, speaking as a previous user of PP, am very impressed with Davinci especially color grading. PP is good with editing though.

[@nickcage9686]

I have tested both and Resolve does a way better job of stabilizing. As demonstrated here, it has three different versions, and all have come in handy to me when Warp Stabilizer couldn't get it right. For common stabilization, both do well, but for tricky ones involving camera movement, Resolve is way better.

[@everheartproductions5076]

the fact that pp takes 1 minute to stabilize 5 seconds of footage keeps me from using pp

[@Aemyn]

This helped, thank you!

[@NewLondonMarshall]

[@DennisOsman]

Can I also render the cliché „creative people love cat‘s“ in H.246?

[@Ajoddom]

Is there a possibility in resolve to do a tracking stabilization? So for example you give resolve a specific point (flag pole for example) and it has to keep that point always in the center of the frame

[@christianhotter]

Yes. When you have the stabilizer open, you can use the ... pulldown on the upper right to select 'Classic Stabilizer'. From there you can change it to 'point tracker' with the pulldown on the bottom right. With that, you can select the point you want to track. That'll make more sense once you are inside of Resolve. I'm sure there's a video out there showing the steps.

[@Ajoddom]

Thank you very much!@@christianhotter

[@Joker5665jn]

Another option would be to use the Tracker Tool in the Fusion tab. -Put the Tracker Tool node between mediain & mediaout nodes -The tracker box should default in the middle of the upper left quadrant of the viewer. -Place the tracker over what you wish to stabilize (what you want centered) -Run the tracker in the tracker tool window under the Tracker Tab. -Go to the Operation tab in the tracker tool window and select "Match Move" as the operation. -Select "BG Only" as the Merge type. The footage at this point should be stabilized to that point now, assuming the tracker did a decent track. You will need to put a Transform node between the mediain and tracker nodes to place the stabilized point where you want it within the frame and to scale the footage if necessary.

[@Ajoddom]

That sounds pretty good. Tried the tracking point tool in the color grading tab and it didn't work that well. I guess Fusion will do a better job. Thanks a lot!@@Joker5665jn

[@Joker5665jn]

Yeah, I've found the Fusion tracker to work much better. Hope that works.
