Correcting Shaky Footage...HELP!

[raneparish]

Is there any way I could correct some shaky footage by creating a locked focal point or other method? (I had the tripod right next to me but didn't use it :'()

Thanks

You could use the motion tracker in After Effects...

there is an image stabilizing filter right in final cut. but your footage has to be pretty limited in movement for it to work nicely. meaning, you're SOL if there is a lot of panning, etc.

Yes, on slightly footage, the image stabilizer in FCP does a really great job. On really shaky stuff, it doen't work.

Keep in mind, you'll have to slightly increase the size of you picture in the viewer and position it so the black background does not appear around the outside.
