Stabilizing shaky video
3
00:00:03.73 --> 00:00:04.71
4
00:00:04.735 --> 00:00:07.71
Sometimes is hard to hold the camera steady when shooting
5
00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:11.10
and at the end up the video is too shaky to watch.
6
00:00:11.118 --> 00:00:13.37
iMovie can help fix that.
7
00:00:13.393 --> 00:00:15.84
The first step is to analyze your video
8
00:00:15.855 --> 00:00:19.80
Just select Analyze for Sabilization from the File menu
9
00:00:19.825 --> 00:00:21.78
You can do this for the entire event
10
00:00:21.798 --> 00:00:23.82
or to a single clipt at a time.
11
00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:25.86
This is a sophisticated process
12
00:00:25.883 --> 00:00:28.51
so for a large event it may take a long period to process.
13
00:00:29.53 --> 00:00:30.51
14
00:00:30.526 --> 00:00:32.29
Once your event is then analyzed
15
00:00:32.313 --> 00:00:34.80
iMovie will add a wave red line to video
16
00:00:34.82 --> 00:00:37.31
that are so shaky thay you problably want not use
17
00:00:37.328 --> 00:00:40.05
and you can easily hide all of that video
18
00:00:40.07 --> 00:00:42.79
by clicking in this button.
19
00:00:42.806 --> 00:00:44.57
For all the other video in your event
20
00:00:44.593 --> 00:00:46.35
as soon you put it in your movie
21
00:00:46.371 --> 00:00:48.57
the video will automatically be stabilized
22
00:00:48.59 --> 00:00:50.80
so it looks nice and smooth.
23
00:00:50.815 --> 00:00:53.02
If you want adjust the stabilization
24
00:00:53.045 --> 00:00:55.14
you can do that by double click in the clip
25
00:00:55.156 --> 00:00:57.46
and then adjusting this slider.
26
00:00:57.478 --> 00:00:58.94
The further left you drag
27
00:00:58.963 --> 00:01:02.31
the less stabilization iMovie will add to the clip,
28
00:01:02.330 --> 00:01:04.03
and by unchecking this box
29
00:01:04.048 --> 00:01:07.25
you can turn all off toghether.
30
00:01:07.275 --> 00:01:09.76
iMovie can help smooth down shaky video
31
00:01:09.781 --> 00:01:13.76
so that you can still enjoy and use it in your projects.
