Deshake - Video stabilization

Could use a few more options, but it works for now. In reply to comment: I would like to crop, resize , and use a draw tool to select the main image or point of reference that would be stabilized. For example the rocket ship video is shaky , but also as the rocket ascends it rotates. I want the rocket to point straight up always. Another example a video of a bird is shaky , when the bird flys away the camera moves up and down left and right. I want the image of the bird centered always. Im not even going to talk about screen orientation.

So I’m of the small group of people who believe that there’s value in quality and I don’t expect an app that handles such a complex task to be free. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find this $3 gem in the App Store. It does the job, with some minimal but meaningful customizations and adjustments. The results are very good, not spectacular, but very good indeed. Again, considering the price, it is a very good value. I encountered a bug while modifying the “focus area” which forced me to restart the app and my work. But it didn’t happen the second time around. At the end of the day, it stabilized my video perhaps better than what I could have expected, and the output quality was very good, considering that it needs to crop the video to allow for the stabilization. One suggestion: iOS13 allows us to soft modify the videos. All other apps open the modified version of the video, this one opened the original. Not the worst thing in my case, but can be annoying if someone spent some time and effort cropping, applying filters and image adjustments, and snipping.

Using app on iPad. Completely non intuitive minimalistic interface. Could not figure out how to bring up options sliders. Finally figured out I have to rotate iPad vertically. Then the options sliders are there and not able to be turned off for the rest of the session. 1st attempt at stabilizing video: Brought app to background after starting the processing. When I brought the app back up, I found that it had cancelled the stabilization without warning. 2nd attempt: Tapped "Done" after processing which took over 20 minutes, and app closed without warning, discarding everything. 3rd attempt: Again after 20 minutes of processing, tried tapping the back arrow in upper left and hit "Apply". The app then closed and again discarded all work without saving anything anywhere. While I don't believe the app is a scam, it is simply not able to save the result, which makes it completely useless for me and I would assume most people. I did try clicking on the developer website and app support links... they just go to a promotional blog that has no useful or helpful information. Wasted my time and my money.

Just be aware that stabilization requires a cropping window that slides around (that’s the only way to do it), so shoot your videos a little bit wider than normal - to account for the stabilizing process cropping it in a little bit. I’ve had fantastic results with “reduce wobble” for my handheld stuff. I can crank the strength up to 100%, and it looks like I shot with a gimbal. Just rock solid. Great app. It’s nice to have a software alternative to an active gimbal system. Worth the purchase. Would recommend. Would buy again.

I was hoping to get a bit of extra stabilization without having to import into premiere. My footage is already 5-axis in camera stabilized, but this just adds a crop, applies some sort of weak warp stabilizer with minimal options, and spits out a choppy unusable clip. I really wanted this to work, in hopes that it might speed up my workflow. I apologize for the harsh review, but when you charge money for a product, it should be usable and beneficial to the purchaser. Interface is really great; 👌🏻 if you can work out your stabilization this could be a really great app!
