@Evanmileus I know, right? It does however really make rolling shutter pronounced when shooting with any CMOS camera. When used in conjunction with some form of steadicam and this filter, you can get some amazing results. (none of the videos in here were steadicam assisted, mostly handheld)
Its pretty kool but the only problem i can see is that you are still left with the motion blur from where the footage should/would have been moving...
SInce making this video I've discovered you can right click assets in the timeline and "Send to" Motion. Do so - it's far more powerful and quicker! (it only analyses what it has to!) Then you'll have your clip ready for use, find the "Smooth" filter and add it to your clip, change the settings to suit, analyze and process and once you're happy simply close the motion file (whilst saving, of course) and then your clip in the timeline will have SmoothCam+anything else you did in Motion!
As an extra note to this video, I've been playing around with the filter more in Motion 3 now and found it to be not only more powerful, but significantly quicker analyzing times and yielding better results! Only downside is that Color won't allow you to grade composite shots from Motion...
Oh, and CMOS cameras suck with SmoothCam due to the way CMOS cameras capture footage with rolling shutters... you'll find that film and video shot with CCD sensors come out a lot better...!
Awesome! Looks like a steadycam....

Could you please tell me if Final Cut Express is having this plugin, too?
I would highly appreciate it!

@jchouproductions it needs to be converted to .mov first, which is the only format smoothcam will handle.

do ya always have to zoom in with smoothcam?
SoulReaper876 3 years ago
Yes, because you're panning inside the footage, as you can see with the analysis... it pans around.

thanks

That was great work and examples from the Smoothcam.
Thanks for making and putting this up.

Cheers. I found it interested to see how well smoothcam worked in some situations, whilst bombing out in others...
