 This is going to be the steadiest shot I've ever taken. Would you look at that? Oh my God, look at this shot. So if you're like me, you probably love capturing life's moments on video, but what do you do when your iPhone footage is shaky and unstable? Well, don't worry. I've got for you five tips to help stabilize your videos and make it look great. Hey there, Ben and Grace are here with SmartfulFilmmaking.com, the best online course that will take your mobile videos to the next level. I'm going to show you how to fix shaky iPhone footage using a simple and easy to follow technique that will make your videos look smooth and professional. Tip number one is to keep your hands steady. One of the best ways to stabilize your iPhone footage is to keep your hands as steady as possible. So when you're filming, try to hold your phone with both hands and your elbows tucked in close to your body. This will help reduce camera shake and make your videos look a lot smoother, preventing your viewers from getting dizzy and vomiting all over the place. Tip number two is to use a tripod. Use something to support your iPhone while you're filming. This could be a tripod, monopod, selfie stick, or even just leaning your phone against a wall. The more stable your iPhone is, the less shaky your footage will be. Tripods are great because they provide a stable platform for your iPhone and allow you to keep your hands free while filming. They're also relatively inexpensive so they won't break the bank. I will mention one of my affordable tripods in the video description below. Tip number three is to use a gimbal. If you want to take your video stabilization to the next level, invest in a gimbal. A gimbal is a handheld device that uses computers to keep your iPhone leveled and steady while you move around. This is perfect if you're filming while walking or shooting an event where there's lots of movement involved. Now, gimbals can be a bit pricey but if you're serious about getting smooth and stable footage, they're worth the investment. I've reviewed a bunch of gimbals on my channel that you can check out and the one I'm using is the DJI OM4, which works well for me but everybody has their own shooting needs so make sure to inform yourself and check out different gimbals. Tip number four is to use slow motion. Another great way to stabilize your iPhone footage is to film in slow motion. When you play your video back in slow motion, any camera shake will be less noticeable. To film in slow motion, simply open the camera app and swipe to the slow motion mode. Then press record and film your slow motion video. But of course, you could also do this in post by filming in 60 frames per second and then slowing it down in a 24 frames per second timeline. Coming in with tip number five, last but not least, don't forget that you can stabilize your footage in post-production. There are a number of different software programs that you can use to stabilize your video. I recommend using Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro but there are a number of great options out there. Simply import your footage into your editing software of choice and use the stabilization tool to smooth out any camera shakes. If you're looking for a mobile app that can stabilize your footage, LumaFusion is an excellent option. So there you have it, five simple tips to help stabilize your iPhone footage and make your videos look great. Get out there and start filming. I guarantee they'll look a lot better once you put these tips into practice.
