Piece-wise 360 VR Stabilization of Long Shots with SynthEyes
In this tutorial, Russ Andersson demonstrates filter-based stabilization of long 360 VR shots using SynthEyes by breaking them into manageable pieces. He explains the importance of leaving extra frames at the beginning and end of the shot for better stabilization. Russ uses a script to divide an 18,000-frame shot into sections, with each piece having overlapping frames for smooth transitions. After running auto-tracking on each section, he sets the stabilization parameters, including frequency filtering. The stabilized sections are then exported as text files and combined in SynthEyes. Finally, the stabilization data is exported to After Effects for further refinement, ensuring high-quality, stable 360 VR footage. For more details and tutorials, visit the SynthEyes website.
