Tutorial 9 Creating Clean Plates 249
To stabilize the clip1 image:
1 Select the clip1 node, then insert a Transform–SmoothCam node.
2 In the SmoothCam1 parameters, the frame range (1-11) should appear at the top of the
parameters. (If not, type “1-11” in the analysisRange field.)
3 Set the steadyMode to lock.
Choose lock instead of smooth because you want to remove all camera movement
from the shot, if possible. Now, you need to specify which types of movement to
eliminate.
4 Expand the lockdown subtree.
5 Turn on translateLock, rotateLock, zoomLock, and perspectiveLock.
In the “real” world, you’ll want to review your footage and see which of these options
are necessary. If, for example, there’s no zooming in the shot, then you wouldn’t need
to spend calculation time on zoomLock.
6 Click the analyze button and sit back while the SmoothCam node stabilizes your
footage.
