Re: [Avid-L2] Avid Stabilze tracking accross transitions?

 

Hi John, my experience matches yours. I routinely use the stabilize effect amidst transitions and my workflow is to nest before stabilizing. If you want to keep your timeline clean, you can remove the nest after the stabilizer has finished its analysis.

From what I can tell, the Avid stabilizer is analyzing the video motion on a "per track" basis and not "per clip," although it operates on the duration of the clip. So if you have an effect or transition on the track, it will include that data in its analysis, which is why nesting gives you the clean stabilization.

If that cramps your style, you can also use the BCC Optical Stabilizer, which works very well and is more robust, giving options for stabilizing motion, smoothing motion, removing zooms, &c. I believe it analyzes motion "per clip." Hope that helps!

When I drop the stabilize effect on a shot with a transition it seems the fluid stabilizer is trying to stabilize across the transitions final multiplexed image and not just the shot I'm putting the stabilizer on but it's hard to tell if that's the case.  Auto nesting a submaster allows for a clean stabilization throughout the transition. 

This is a bit difficult to test.  Sometimes with swish pan effects it's hard to see if the stabilizer is mis-tracking but sometimes a fade to black will start to drift a bit or a dissolve as the b shot comes in.

Does anybody know exactly what the Stabilizer Effect is looking at during transition areas?
