Sure, WE have better tools, but the unwashed hordes don't (the semi-
washed hordes might; I haven't messed around with the consumer
stabilizers enough to know). YouTube's stabilizer is automatic, free,
and cloud based. Plus, there's realtime previews. I'd guess this is
something of a work in progress. Check out the paper about the
algorithm at the core of the stabilzer, or just look at its demo video:

Neat stuff that points towards something or other, even if it's not a
tool for us.
