Stabilization software recs for FCPX?

I have some shaky shots I need to stabilize. I've used FCPX but I find it a bit lacking in that department. Anyone have 3rd party software or plugins they'd recommend for stabilizing?

Issue with stabilization of GH6 Footage (It makes it worse!!) Hello folks, I've got a problem that I wasn't able to solve. Was wondering if anyone has a similar issue? I do lots of social media work and my combo has over the years been Panasonic GH5, GH5s and for editing FCPX. Was impressed how good stabilisation worked with any footage. Nailed it 9/10 times without any adjustments. However, I've recently pruchased Panasonic GH6 and I dont know what the heck is going on. Whenever I stabilaze a clip, it makes things worse. It's litterlay 50% more shaky than it was before. I've run various test, it works on GH5 (IBIS) and GH5s (No IBIS) but won't work with GH6 (IBIS). Is there anyone who could help or tell the FCPX team they need to look into this or put it in their next update because otherwise I can't continue using FCPX. Cheers & Thank you.

Stabilization Doesn't Work on Vertical Footage. Is anyone else experiencing this. When I'm working with a vertical timeline and vertically filmed footage, none of the stabilization methods work at all. In fact, it makes the footage worse than before. I've read some other have also experienced this, but i can't find a solution. I've also had the stabilization work with proxy footage but as soon as I switch to optimized, it doesn't work any longer.

Stabilization in FCP has worked rather well for my admittedly simple needs.

There is a plugin available through FxFactory. I think it is called "Better Stabilizer". No idea how good it is, but you can use it in trial mode to find out.
