About SmoothCam Filter Parameters
The SmoothCam filter parameters allow you to adjust how much camera movement the
filter compensates for and how much automatic zooming the filter applies to remove
black borders resulting from motion compensation.
Scale Parameters
You can also set Auto Scale and Actual Scale parameters:
• Auto Scale: This parameter can reduce the amount of automatic scaling applied by the
SmoothCam filter. For more information, see “Using the Auto Scale Parameter.”
• Actual Scale: This parameter is not adjustable. The value shown here is the amount of
scaling the SmoothCam filter applies to compensate for any black borders caused by
the Camera Motion Smoothness parameter settings. For more information, see
“About
the Actual Scale Value.”
Camera Motion Smoothness Parameters
You can control the “steadiness” of your shot using three independent parameters:
• Translation Smooth: Left, right, up, and down movement of a shot (x and y axes)
• Rotation Smooth: Rotation around the center point of the image
