Hi,
I am doing timelapse sequence showing building of house. I have hundreds of photos I took every day at construction yard. I did all photos from this same place but as you can expect every photo has small different distortion - different angle, liitle different zoom. But the main object (house) is always in center. There are also several static points which was unchanged during the whole process (background buildings, forground street etc). Is there any tool which is able to reduce the distortions? I would like to have my house from each photos at this same position at screen?
 
Lens correction

Lens correction

You should try lens correction in Photoshop, file-automate-lens correction.
 
Thanks
Unfortunately I can't use this tool but thanks to you I discovered Scripts/Load files into stack! With selected options "Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images" my work is almost done! Thank you.
 
If you see some funky jitters when you convert the frames to video, run it through after effects - the stabilizer (or the warp stabilizer in 5.5) work very well. It stabilizes at a sub-pixel level and does a far better job than can be done by hand.
 
Thank you Michael,
But distortion is too big for AE stabilizer tool. I did not try warp stabilizer because it comes with CS5.5. I've got only CS5.0
