Extreme VirtualDub Deshaker Demo (HD)

[cj1000xyu]

I've been trialling this and am fairly happy with the results. I've noticed two common problems though, one is that audio is being gated (audio frames dropping) in places and occasionally, the video stutters. I can't see anything acknowledging either problem in the Deshaker documentation, do you have any tips?

[yzarc314]

@cj1000xyu Deshaker doesn't touch the audio, so it should have nothing to do with the dropped audio frames. I have never heard of such problems. If this is in the preview, that just means your computer can't keep up in real-time, but it should come out fine once you save as AVI.

[702lakersfan]

i downloaded the plugin but im having trouble opening it and running the program (deshaker) any advice..

[yzarc314]

@702lakersfan Deshaker only works with the 32-bit version of VirtualDub. Other than that, I have no advice except to Google whatever error messages you're getting. Good luck.

[danimations80]

Incredible! I'm about to try it now, and am filled with confidence after seeing this test!

[adongardner]

left side EARTHQUAKE,,, Right side warp world :D

[JDoseawa]

That is awesome! Couldn't ask for better for the price> FREE!

[Airsoft109z]

Works pretty nice, but you can see distortions. lol

[JoseJimeniz]

i'm amazed that deshaker was able to make heads or tails of that mess.

[zzuvideos]

that is truly amazing

[nvtkaszpir]

wow, I'm really impressed by the results. Thats just fantastic looking at the source video that is a total mess :)

[0000song0000]

wow.. its amazing!!

well... there are some parts that look just like Google Earth´s Street View XD

[Ursenfuns]

Impressive

[ParodyGuy28]

What deshaker settings did you use?

[TiagoTiagoT]

LOL

Big movie studios spend tons of money on robotic steadycams, just stick your camera on top of a broomstick and run deshaker on post and you pretty much get the same results! xD

[TheShockingPepper]

First, your freaking tall lol, second, that rocks!! XD

[RammsteinOLive]

Does it work with pictures?

[yzarc314]

@RammsteinOLive With pictures, it works flawlessly. ;)

[shortmotions]

@yzarc314 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[minooshka9876]

I have problems deshaking HD videoes, does virtualdub work with HD ?

[yzarc314]

@minooshka9876 It depends on the video format.  Virtualdub has native support only for only some codecs. If you use Virtualdub together with AviSynth, you can open many more formats, like Quicktime.

[ricanstylez4uma]

@yzarc314 how i have both installed and cant open 3gp video

[rosn73]

is that REAL???

[yzarc314]

@rosn73 Yes. The original is on the left.

If you look carefully, you can see nonlinear distortions in the deshaken image. It looks like the image is pulsating. (Such distortions would be extremely difficult to remove.)

[rosn73]

@yzarc314

I have download this software and tried to do the same process .. it did not work!

How did you get this stability?

[rosn73]

@yzarc314

what was the seetings.

I could not achieve this stablity at all.

[chrisz78]

@yzarc314 Part of them might be caused by the camera either using a "rolling shutter" (which can be compensated effectively in Deshaker 3.0), and/or the lens suffering from pincushion or barrel distortion, whereby straight lines near the edges of the picture become curved inward or outward. There is a Virtualdub plugin to correct for this as well; to adjust it, shoot a sqaure grid with your cam and tweak the resulting video until the squares are straight all across the frame.

[yzarc314]

@chrisz78 Wow, thanks so much for the helpful comment! Deshaker 3.0 looks awesome! Is there any particular pincushion/barrel distortion filter you would recommend? Emiliano Ferrari's filter?

[ac7ionman81]

realy amazing

[TheJisin3000]

Well done! you used a cam with a CCD sensor...hmm much easyer to stabilize with that plugin then CMOS sensor :P

[ShiiComp]

Holy Shit!!!

[bjkina]

To avoid borders, use the 'fixed zoom' setting.

[DannySotoA]

how do you get rid of the black ends at the sides of the vid?

[Webypedia]

Thanks for the tutorial

[alexcalderong]

Comparte porfabor la configuracion o el setup como obtuvo estos resultados del deshaker 1 y 2 parametros como lo hiciste espectacular no lo he podido a un, compartelos

[alexcalderong]

Que setup utiliso para optener esta estavilizacion en el virtual dub o parametros

[skyline0511]

lol this comparison is funny. I love it

[dangerousdragon76]

Very well done, what parameters you used to stabilize the video?, I have a problem with an issue that I'm doing, and want to know how to achieve that result, thanks.

[ossyni]

wowwwwww

[FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL]

Amazing, can you tell me the easiest way to do what you did on this video?

Thank you

[yzarc314]

@FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL Wow, I love your videos!

When I was a kid, I briefly tried to learn to fly RC, but was disappointed by lack of FPV. I never learned to fly, for many years since then, I've fantasized about having a setup exactly like yours. I'm thrilled to see the technology has arrived! Which state are you in?

Virtualdub and the Deshaker plugin are both free, but they are advanced tools. Don't be intimidated, but find some Virtualdub tutorials. Learning Deshaker requires experimentation.

[FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL]

@yzarc314 I live on Long Islang NY, where do you live. I am starting an Aerial Photography business.

[cybershot70]

hahahah nice deshaking - but the run is more awesome xDD

[yzarc314]

@cybershot70 Thanks, I had a wonderful time! I added a link in the description to the finished video of the run.

[XCasperProductionsX]

how did u export as HD?

[JonKeLiG]

woaah.. that's some awesome deshaking! i need the awesome settings :D

[kaochaos1]

Looks like it works great !

[loserintraining]

What can I do when my srt file is off; for instance the start time of the DVD I converted to AVI, it has different start times, so all my subtitles off by a second. Is there a way I can start have Virtual Dub start at a designated point that will get the subtitles back in sync?

Thanks,

misty

[pcgamerslave]

Are you 8 feet tall?

[yzarc314]

Haha, I wish. I am 6'2", but I'm holding up the camera with my arm.

[NorthZephyr]

wonderful example...

that shows the awesomness of deshaker

thanks!

btw, mind you sharing your settings for Pass 2 ?

[yzarc314]

Sorry, I don't think I have the settings anymore.

Nothing magical, just experiment with the settings until you get a good result.

[omardude39]

now that really is unbelievable - they are seriously like two different videos!

With that amound of noise on the soundtrack, you'd wonder where it was all coming from haha

[BaytekkDesigns]

I've found that to remove the "zoomies" I would run deshaker with the edge compensation set to"NONE [large borders]". Then I would crop the footage to remove the empty borders & then run a resize filter to get back to 1080 x 1920. Works like a charm!

[Azarien]

Yeah.. I played with deshaker the other day. Good in theory, not so good for 'production'. It's always better to have good source material without shaking.

[TeTRoSeX]

What a powerful plugin ha?

[frilink]

how do you get rid of the zooming effect? watch properly at the video on the right side.......

[mochi227]

very good result

[MYtubeuniversity]

how many times did you run it through the deshaker?

[yzarc314]

Just one time. However, it's a two-pass process: the first pass detects the motion, and the second pass uses the data gathered from the first pass to compensate.

[Cr381v3]

for being such a crapy cameraman that is an acceptable result! =)

[omardude39]

well he was running a sprint, be fair!!!

[isaaccade]

You can see that it stretches but it does it so smoothly

[yzarc314]

Ya, my camera has a wide-angle lens which causes lots of nonlinear distortive effects. It'd be extremely difficult to compensate for that.

[eyeonwashparish]

Beyond amazing.

[Icecold5491]

Hey, this is great. Can you post the settings you used in deshaker to stabilize the video?

My settings seem be nowhere near as good as these.

Thanks

[CrossYourThumbs]

I will probably post a tutorial soon. If you want to, check it out :] (In a day or two)

[jfahim]

dammit. iMovie 09 zooms in WAY too much in its stabilization. wish i could use this :(

[darkpivotpro]

It's free.

[jfahim]

its windows only. i have an iMac :(

[moonflower0924]

dayum! it works!

[brynzech]

how can i install this in sony vegas 7?

i have this plug but i dont know install it

help pls

[MonoKulen]

this is awsome!!

And it's a free open source, not iLife! Great!!!

[firstdown80]

this is great, but what are your "pass" settings for 720p videos?

[CrossYourThumbs]

I will post a tutorial soon with the settings, I hope i can help.

In about 1 to 2 days.

[luckyram]

This thing is great.....it's amazing how it make an unwatchable video watchable.

Can this program be used for the pocket cams - Creative Vado HD, Flip Mino HD, etc.????

[yzarc314]

If you can import the corresponding file formats into VirtualDub, then you can Deshake them.

[rogertangodotcom]

OMG! That is so awesome! I was about to embark on a home brew steady cam project too, good timing for the find!

And Im an avid Virtual Dub and AVISynth user too, I do XviD/MP3 HD up to 1080 no problems, AVI IS NOT DEAD!

By the way folks, if you have not bought a Western Digital "WD TV", you are seriously missing out on a great HD media player!!

Thanks for posting-

[yzarc314]

A steady cam is still very useful, especially for low light situations. If the individual frames blur in low light, then you're in trouble.

[xaanaax]

How did u use the dishaker? I try to use it, I open the vid, change settings in the filter in pass 1, then save as avi. After that I open the new avi and change to pass 2 option. Then I get message that "This frame was not processed in pass 1"? What do I do wrong?

[yzarc314]

Probably your Deshaker "log file" is not being written. I think it defaults to "C:\Deshaker.log". Look for the file to see if it's there, and if it has a bunch of numbers. If you're using Vista and not running as an administrator, you probably don't have permission to write. You may have to change it to something like "C:\Users\YourName\Deshaker.lo­g".

[ddl1nz1mon]

Oh wow I have to try this some time!

[JackJason666]

its so freakin' awesome! Ive got VirtualDub 1.8.6 and DeShaker 2.4.

I've found some Tutorials but they doesnt work. Can u tell me how to deshake a videofile?
