Removing vibrations in post

Filming a musical performance, my center camera picked up the vibrations from the floor and through the tripod causing some very noticeable vibrations whenever I zoom in too close. Is there any way to correct that in Final Cut Pro?

Thanks in advance & Happy Holidays!

Take a look at this: http://www.chv-plugins.com/cms/Fx-Script/MotionTracker-collection/Image-Stabiliz er.php

I haven't used it so I can't comment on how well it works.

Final Cut also has one here: Effects->Video Filters->Video->Image Stabilizer

Yeah -- I was going to suggest Shake...

It has a smoothcam node that will do exactly what you are asking... and do it very well. You can download the trial and use it full for this project. After 30 days if it's worth it to you you can buy it and get a few other options turned on... though other than it going bye bye in 30 days there is nothing in the full version that isn't in the trial that you will really NEED NEED.

Take a look at these three uses for Shake and see if just for these alone it isn't worth the $500US to you.
