Gary,
We are still checking to see if this is the case but you might want to
try turning off "SteadyGlide" which is on by default now. That might the
cause of the change in quality you see in v5 versus v4.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Re: MC 5 Stabilize bad behavior
Until MC 5 ruined the software, Stabilize--not Region Stabilize-- was
capable of referencing 2 points in the picture and eliminating ALL
camera movement. I have explored various settings with several very
experienced compositors. Our conclusion is that Avid has taken a big
step back.

both progressive and auto zoom checked. Perhaps I'm missing the obvious
but I wouldn't expect a zoom out to become a locked shot with no zoom at
all using the avid stabilize effects. You would need a stabilizer with
multiple points to lock down to keep the framing static. Perhaps someone
with more compositing experience can suggest such an effect. Also I was
just on my laptop so I didn't critically analyze the results for the
usual stabilize effect jitters I often see when the land of offline
figures it's easier to throw on a stabilize effect instead of finding a
steady shot. And they wonder why when it goes through me the effect is
removed. ;-)
