The shot is a pull out so I was able to stabilize the hitch in the zoom but it is still a pull out. This is using region stabilize with 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. ;-)
