What are /r/ImageStabilization's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I used Hugin, which is based on PanoTools. Basically, I treat each frame of video as a different shot of a panorama. It's way more tedious than using an automatic stabilizer, but you have enormous control over the final output.

Thank you for the gold, it really wasn't needed but it's always appreciated!

I see now where you're going with this and I love it! I followed the link to the 3D model and checked it out. Really interesting stuff. I'm also interested in using Microsoft ICE as I'd like to see how it fares at creating /r/PanoGifs, but that's just a personal thing.

Yeah the addition of tracking markers is a handy thing to do. The more options you have before stabilizing, the better. I agree, it's best not to push the pin all the way through the bug, I did think that.

You're welcome, it was fun to do and as always, sharing things is a big way of how we learn. Knowledge is power, and all that. Yes I adjusted the scale to make it look a bit better. I thought that the more the fly stayed the same size, the better the result would be. Not sure if that is needed though. You could make things a lot cleaner too with the background by adding a feathered mask around the fly for each frame which gives a better overall look and cuts down on the shadows. That's all added work/time but it is doable.

Also, just so you know, Blender does the same thing which is a free product. It's great for stabilizing.

Good luck with things and remember if you make the 3D model of this fly, drop us a link!

High speed rail lines are crazy expensive, and the US is [a little bit bigger](http://thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!MTQzNDYzMjQ.OTU5MjQzMA*NDEwNjQ5OQ(Mjg5MzEyMDY~!CONTIGUOUS_US*ODE2ODQyMQ.MTE1MzI5MTQ(MTc1\)MQ~!JP*MA.MTgwMDAwMDA\)MA) than Japan is.

When you're dealing with a country the size of the US, per-mile infrastructure cost of transportation systems becomes a substantial consideration.

Download GIMP, its similar to Photoshop in functionality and its free. Open the file, export to whatever you need. Or you can use one of those free websites like this

For future reference there's an app which prevents this: Horizon Camera

For the majority OS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hvt.horizon

For the other one https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/horizon-camera/id778576249?mt=8

Someone will sort this out for you, have faith.

/u/chevysareawesome this video really was all over the place! if you're planning on taking more videos like this one and are having trouble holding your hands still (totally normal btw!) you might want to invest in one of these handheld phone gimbals: https://www.amazon.com/DJI-OM-Smartphone-Stabilizer-ActiveTrack/dp/B099ZYBSWB/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1657359307&s=wireless&sr=1-4

I'm writing this out assuming it's a 900x30 image...

1. Open blender (or install and open it), set resolution to 30x30, change set to 100% output (should be at 50% by default) and scroll down where it says /temp, click it and choose an output directory. Below that you should see a box that says "png". I'd suggest outputting as a png sequence and then putting it together from there in an appropriate program, but you could also export as ffmpeg or avi or whatever and just convert it online.
2. at the top there's a drop down menu that says default, click it and go to video sequence editor
3. at the bottom you should see a little box that says 250, that's the frame count, click that and change it to 30
4. hover your mouse over the video strip editor and shift+a> add image, load your image.
5. on the right there should be a "image offset" checkbox, check it and, if it's not already, Adjust the X position so the first frame takes up the canvas.
6. Hover over that x position text box and press ctrl+i on your keyboard, it will turn yellow- that means it created a key frame.
7. Go to frame 30 and add 900 to the x position, and press ctr+i to create another keyframe
8. there should be a line graph in the top left corner, hover your mouse over it and hit V, then select "vector" (this way it moves it's x position by exactly 30 pixels every frame)
9. go back to the default window and hit the animate button on the right just above the resolution setting.

ok, seems gimp exports gifs with 256 colors.

seems i need the gap plugins. this is WAY more work that i thought. ~~i think i won't do that again~~

Edit: I now know how to make stabilized timelapse videos. :D Thank you so much /u/YJSubs

All that is covered on SVP's website. At the bottom of the main page is a link to converting videos to 60fps, and the SVP user manual contains information about watching YouTube videos at 60fps.

Cheers.

Cool. Well. For 70 bucks on amazon there is a Sofirn/BLF sp36 It is 5,000 lumens, has high cri(color rendering), it is a white tint, is usb c rechargeable. It uses an infinitely adjustable and configurable UI, called Anduril. If you want pocketable with a clip that’s a diff story. And if you want a pencil beam searchlight like the one I. The vid that’s a diff story. And if you want more than 5,000 lumens 😂 You can get 15,000 for 100$ ~
