Hi to all, we`re makeing a lot of Video special effects for music clips and adv. spots in this weeks. Unfortunatly the cameraman seems to be drunken when he made some shots. The camera is shaking and moving. That makes my job much harder because I have to combine the 3D graphic with the real shots. I tried to let my CG camera move in the same way the real camera does but that means I have to adjust the CG camera in every single frame of the sequence. Not a very effecient way. I know that there are some programs on SGI to stabilize the camera in a real shot. My question is: is there a PC-program that can stabilize my video shot by removing the shaking??? Michael

>>is there a PC-program that can stabilize my video shot by removing the shaking??? I think I remember reading that 4D Vision's Digital Fusion program has some sort of image stabalization. John Stetzer JWS

Yes, you`re right. In the EA manual is a description of how to stabilize a object in a shaking image. But the way to go is a little bit to complex (at least for large sequences). I'm dreaming of an easier way… Michael
