Of course no one on this forum would ever shoot a shaky clip outside a war zone. But for those of us who know someone who might, there's YouTube's new editing feature, the stabilizer. I posted recently about the Kodak Zi8. Since then I bought one and took it for a walk last weekend. I uploaded a couple of the resulting clips and ran them through the stabilizer. I'm impressed. If you're curious I've posted links in a blog posting:
NetVideoMaker.Com: Amateur Videographers Rejoice - YouTube now fixes shaky footage (http://websitevideo.blogspot.com/2011/04/amateur-videographers-rejoice-youtube.html)
The next exercise is to determine if I can download and use the resulting clips in editing. Premiere Pro CS3 will natively work with the QT h.264, AAC clips the camera creates (I've been shooting 720p exclusively with the Zi8) but I need to play a bit more to determine if the new YouTube tool is useful beyond its own environment.
