OR! JUST USE A TRIPOD!

Too many artifacts, in my opinion. That's trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Get a dolly or a Steadicam. I've seen tutorials on YT for a home-made dolly and track. Do it yourself books on eBay, too.

we also to stabilization in PD Pro now (version 7.1)

And you can 'undo' the motion elimination to restore it later, after doing some rotoscoping work or other on the temporarily stabilized clip. You can also have it reconstruct the missing border elements.

That said, AE rocks too ;-)

thank you very much easy but good explained, and no stupid talk

@WillJStudio The artifacting you noticed is motion blur from the original footage. Before stabilization, the blur 'makes sense' because the frame is moving; remove the motion, and the blur gets left behind. The solution to this is to shoot with a higher shutter speed in the field... which means you have to know you're going to be stabilizing it later. Kind of a Catch-22, since if you know ahead of time you might as well (as you suggested) look into a dolly/Steadicam.

I could get After effects 5.5 but I need to be fucking 64 Bit

the 2d3 plugins are far superior to the after effects ones

[jeystonemusic]

a high shutter speed is best as data is lost when the camera shakes
