This is a tip for Final Cut Pro users.  If you have FCP,  you also should have Motion installed.  I only use Motion for this very effect as it’s saved me a number of times when I didn’t have another shot to fall back on. Â
A couple of things that weren’t mentioned in the video: 1) I have only applied this to short clips (usually under 10 seconds in length) – I’m sure it works with longer clips, too, I’ve just never tried. Â 2) I am getting a haircut soon. 3) For your really shaky footage – the clip is probably going to look blurry/crappy after you apply the effect… there’s only so much it can do. Â The best thing to suggest is to shoot better next time — I know – that doesn’t help at all….
There are a few different things you can do to tweak this effect within Motion – but I have never tried. If you have any idea how to make this process have an even better outcome, please share!
