Warp Stabilizer settings
You can stabilize motion with the Warp Stabilizer effect. It removes jitter caused by camera movement, making it possible to transform shaky,
handheld footage into steady, smooth shots.
For information about the Warp Stabilizer, and how memory and storage are affected, see
Stabilize with the Warp Stabilizer effect
To stabilize motion using the Warp Stabilizer effect, do the following:
1. Select the clip you want to stabilize.
2. In the Effects panel, choose Distort > Warp Stabilizer, and then apply the effect by double-clicking, or by dragging the effect to the clip in the
Timeline or the Effect Controls panel.
After the effect is added, analysis of the clip begins immediately in the background. As analysis begins, the first of two banners displays in
the Project panel indicating that analysis is occurring. When analysis is complete, the second banner displays a message that stabilization is
occurring.
You are free to work with the footage or elsewhere in the project while these steps are occurring.

Analyze
There is no need to press this button when you first apply Warp Stabilizer, it is pressed for you automatically. The Analyze button remains dimmed
until some change takes place. For example, if you adjust a layer’s In or Out points, or there is an upstream change to the layer source. Click the
button to reanalyze the footage.
Analysis does not take into account any effects that are applied directly to the same clip.
Cancels an analysis in progress. During analysis, status information appears next to the Cancel button.
Stabilization settings allow for adjusting the stabilization process.
Controls the intended result for the footage (Smooth or No Motion).
Smooth motion (default): Retains the original camera movement but makes it smoother. When selected, Smoothness is enabled to control
how smooth the camera movement becomes.
No Motion: Attempts to remove all camera motion from the shot. When selected, the Crop Less Smooth More function is disabled in the
Advanced section. This setting is used for footage where at least a portion of the main subject remains within the frame for the entire range
being analyzed.
Chooses how much the camera’s original motion is stabilized. Lower values are closer to the camera’s original motion while higher
values are smoother. Values above 100 require more cropping of the image. Enabled when the Result is set to Smooth Motion.
Specifies the most complex operation the Warp Stabilizer performs on the footage to stabilize it:
Position: Stabilization is based on position data only and is the most basic way footage can be stabilized.
Position, Scale And Rotation: Stabilization is based upon position, scale, and rotation data. If there are not enough areas to track, Warp
Stabilizer chooses the previous type (Position).
Perspective: Uses a type of stabilization in which the entire frame is effectively corner-pinned. If there are not enough areas to track, Warp
Stabilizer chooses the previous type (Position, Scale, Rotation).
