Q: exporting and stabilising problem and tiffs

hi,

When i import a tiff sequence and then stabilize it then export it as a tiff sequence, there is a problem with like a blur where there is large movement i nthe footage, I've tried deinterlacing it and that gets rid of any lines but the blur is not present in the original footage.

If i can get some form of help that would be greatly appreciated as i feel like crying.

    Sorry you're feeling so bad. Maybe we can help. A couple of thoughts:

    Definitely deinterlace before stabilising.

    You might have better results with the SmoothCam node.
    It looks at the whole image rather than just a search area.

    I'm sure you realize that if the camera was moving so much
    that there is motion blur in single frames, SmoothCam
    or Stabilize cannot remove the blur. In that case,
    you only have a few options:

    1. Edit so that you cut away when the worst blur happens.
    2. Reduce the amount of stabilization (SmoothCam's translationSmooth,
    rotationSmooth). By retaining a little camera movement,
    the motion blur is not as distracting.

    Really? Did you check the exact same frame before and after?

    yea, i looked at the original footage which was exported from avid and then did trial and errors with exporting it as normal tiff in shake, exporting it as stabilised and not scaled and compared them.


    deinterlacing it before stabilising it has improved it loads yet but i need to keep testing to make sure. i only recently learned shake and its very different to when i've used after effects.

    If a sub pixel shift occurs, that might cause blurring...

    To quote Nick Holmes:

    It would be useful to see the same exact frame,
    before and after stabilization.
