Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 1316)

• Smooth: This method smoothes the apparent motion of the camera, while allowing
the general movement in the frame to proceed. It’s useful for removing jitter from a
camera move. When enabled, this mode has three sliders for each of the dimensions
that can be smoothed.
Translation Smooth: This parameter appears when Method is set to Smooth. Smoothes
motion in both the X and Y dimensions.
Rotation Smooth: This parameter appears when Method is set to Smooth. Smoothes
image rotation.
Scale Smooth: This parameter appears when Method is set to Smooth. Smoothes an
uneven zoom.
Note: Don’t set the Scale Smooth above 0 unless you’re positive that the image is being
zoomed.
Borders: When a clip is stabilized, the resulting transformations that are made to the
stabilized image may cause moving black borders to appear around the edges of the clip.
This pop-up menu defines how the edges are handled.
• Normal: Maintains the size of the stabilized footage. The moving black borders remain
around the edges of the clip.
• Zoom: Expands the clip to the full size of the Canvas. This prevents black borders from
appearing around the edges, but scales up the stabilized clip.
Zoomed borders scale
the stabilized clip so
the clip does not move
away from the edge
of the Canvas.
Direction: This pop-up menu allows you to specify the dimension to which the recorded
movement is applied to the analyzed image: Horizontal and Vertical (X and Y), Horizontal
(only X), or Vertical (only Y).
Adjust: This parameter allows you to choose the transformation to which the stabilization
is applied.
• Position: When enabled, stabilize is applied to the position of the analyzed image.
• Scale: When enabled, stabilize is applied to the scale of the analyzed image.
• Rotation: When enabled, stabilize is applied to the rotation of the analyzed image.
