Re: SmoothCam Filter

Posted by Ghostlight PermaLink
Yay! This filter originally came from Shake, the advanced compositing software usesd on Lord of the Rings and King Kong. I use this from time to time and it's pretty amazing. It's used in Shake for other purposes, too. You can use it to temporarily "lock down" a shot, even if it's moving and zooming, so it's easier to add effects. When the effects are done, the shot is returned to its original shakiness and the effects are translated, rotated, and scaled to match the footage.

Long story short, if Final Cut can't do it alone, pass it off to someone with Shake!

P.S. - Shake can also stitch together three images into one giant panorama automatically... even if those three images are all handheld!!!
