5 Change the smooth setting to 0.75 to increase the amount of smoothing
6 Click the stabilize button again, then play the clip.
The stabilized clip is scaled a bit to fill the frame. Any time you stabilize a shot, the clip
must move up and down, as well as side to side, to offset the camera movement in the
shot. Moving the clip in this way obviously makes the edges of the clip visible as they
move in and out of the viewer. To avoid this effect, the clip is automatically scaled until
the edges are no longer seen. How much scaling is applied depends on how much
camera movement is removed from the shot.
TIP To see the amount of motion applied to the clip, you can deselect the
Zoom checkbox at the bottom of the Tracker palette, and play the clip.
Understanding how to use tools such as the qualifiers, Power Windows, and the tracker
palette enables you to perform secondary color grading with substantial control over the
final look of your image. However, it is only when you combine these tools that their true
potential is unlocked.
