Q: Shake smoothCam causes image to jump to the top left.

Does it move there to keep the content in the same place?

Patrick

Yes, BUT, does it move there to keep the content in place - in other words, does it need to displace that frame that much to counter the camera shake?

Patrick

can you post the the clip before and after?

Patrick

Try this:

The clipMode parameter provides different ways you can treat the size of the output frame in order to include or exclude this black region. After you’ve analyzed the input image and picked the settings necessary to smooth or lock your shot, you can choose one of three clipMode parameters.

union

This option expands the rendered frame to include the full area within which the input image is transformed. If you scrub through the SmoothCam’s output with this option turned on, the image appears to float about within a black frame larger than itself. The frame size of the output image is larger than that of the input image.

intersection

This option contracts the rendered frame to exclude any black area. The result is a stable output image that fills the frame, but with a frame size that’s smaller than the input image.

in

This option maintains the frame size of the input image as that of the output image. The result is a moving black area that encroaches around the edges of the output image.

Yes... but I actually like doing it with the IN mode. Then using a Move2D node to make small adjustments. But your way will work too.

CaptM

Yes -- keyframes.

I must say at THIS point... you need to take a look at the manual. There is LOTS of stuff in there.

But - turn the keyframes on by turning on the KEY on the leftish side of the viewer window. Any change you make on any frame will be recorded as a keyframe.

True true... It was easier 6 years ago when the only people on here were the ones learning the program for the first time themselves!!

However -- the key to successful manual management is knowing the right terms... and by stating KEYFRAMES you gave yourself away!!

hahaha!!

(but it IS a HUGE key over there!!)
