You can adjust how much of a correction is applied by the stabilization feature.
Stabilization has two independent phases:
• When you apply stabilization to a clip, Final Cut Pro analyzes the pixels in successive frames to determine the direction of camera movement.
• During playback and rendering, Final Cut Pro uses the motion analysis data to apply a transform effect to each frame, compensating for camera movement.
Automatic: Allows Final Cut Pro to choose the most appropriate stabilization method (either InertiaCam or SmoothCam). This is the default setting.
• InertiaCam: Applies stabilization optimized for video footage that has camera moves such as pans and zooms. Use the Smoothing slider to adjust the amount of the InertiaCam effect.
• SmoothCam: Applies the default stabilization method described above, allowing you to adjust the translation, rotation, and scale parameters:
• Adjust left, right, up, and down movement of a shot (x and y axes): Drag the
Translation Smooth slider.
• Adjust rotation around the center point of the image: Drag the Rotation Smooth slider.
• Adjust forward or backward camera or lens movement (z axis): Drag the Scale Smooth slider.
