Compared to Deshaker, the first pass took quite a bit longer, while the second pass was still fast. Most importantly, I used the preset 'Vibrations/Wobble'. This time I disabled Smooth Camera Path and reduced 'avoid borders' from 40 to 22, and reduced 'pan shot smoothing' from 40 to 29. For the part that is fixed, I find it works best with Deshaker when I only detect rotation and disable 'detect zoom' and 'detect scene change', but then when I start moving around it causes the image to skip quite a lot so 'detect zoom' must be enabled. The video is quite noisy and slightly shaky (hand-held) with a part where I'm moving the camera around so it's then very shaky.

I have a 1080p video testimonial recorded from a compact camera. You can't really test a deshaker with test patterns and graphs unless you take a video of a sheet of paper having those patterns. I'll have to keep testing whether the issues I'm seeing are related to AviSynth+ or I'm doing something wrong. There was a bug in AviSynth+ where it crashed in the destructor and I fixed it. First the video processes, then the output jams on a frame, and after being jammed on the same frame for a while, it aborts the encoding. However, whenever I use 'fill borders with previous or future frames', it fails to render the video. It will be worth spending more time to program its easy integration within an AviSynth script. I would have expected Mercalli ProDad to do a much better job because it analyzes the movements in 3D and is a lot more sophisticated. Here I have gone mostly with default settings with just minor customization. I am aware that some of the settings can be tweaked in both software to improve the results. Requires a lossy re-encoding of the file - not ideal in a video processing chain Wobble and jello effects are still there but weaker Better efforts at reconstructing borders and not zooming unecessarily So here are the results, for those interested. It used to integrate within Adobe Premiere but v3 and v4 are stand-alone software. Mercalli ProDad is a commercial software. I'm trying to program it within my own software to automate the process but am encountering a few challenges. I wanted to share my results.įirst, Deshaker is a VirtualDub plugin and is hard to use. I've been doing some comparison between Deshaker () and Mercalli ProDad v4 ().
