How do I fix the issue stated above. Yes, the application rids the video of my shaky hands. But it also tries to track and correct my lens zooming. These things kill the video I am trying to create.
MacBook Air 11″, macOS 11.6
I don’t know whether the stabilization issue you are observing is fixable in iMovie. You might need to look for a more powerful app. Possibly you may be able to split the clips into segments to isolate the places where there is considerable zooming and provide a lesser degree of stabilization to those clips, or maybe eliminate the stabilization in those clips. A little hand shaking might be an acceptible trade off. That would be your call of course.
Also, stabilization is best applied by the camera during shooting, if it has a stabilization feature. Or does your camera have editing capabilities that include post recording stabilization correction? If so, you can do some correcting of the clip on your camera and re-export.

During video stabilization iMovie attempts to track whats shown in the video.
