In the future, if you wish to link to an article, please include the link(s) to either the project's official site, their source repository, or both. Just in case a reader would rather look at the project first before digesting someone else's opinion. Plus, ItsFoss.com can be very ad-heavy (made the mistake of going there without an ad-blocker once) and not everyone uses ad-blockers.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a FOSS video stabilization program that works without gyro data?

I have some old videos with vibration that would be great with a little smoothing out!

The video editor Kdenlive has a stabilise clip option, which works by comparing the position of pixels. It's quite good at smoothing out occasional judders.

There's a bit of info about how it works here: Kdenlive Manual - Clip Stabilise

Thank you, I'll have to give it a go - some of them have a constant vibration on account of having been mounted on a motorbike, others are just a little unstable

You might find a few video tutorials to help work out the settings - I feel like I had to try things several times before I could make sense of it.

I was trying to smooth out some panning shots taken on an unsuitable tripod, which kept sticking and jumping, or changing speed. I think I had it zoomed in a bit and cropped, which gave it the space to shuffle the image up/down/left/right a bit. Beyond that, I can't remember the settings. It didn't make the footage perfect, but it made it watchable and usable.

Anyway, let us know how well it works (if at all).

Good luck!

Thank you!

This is probably a project for the winter when I'm literally snowed under instead of figuratively, plus I'm going on a little motorbike adventure in September so it would be nice to get a bit of useable video then to try it with too (using my old GoPro 1 clone)
