Premiere Pro CS6 brings the stabilization power of After Effects CS5.5 and later right into your timeline. If you have a shaky clip, you can edit it into your sequence, apply the Warp Stabilize effect, and continue to work as Premiere stabilizes the edited portion of the clip in the background. This effect, which gives results formerly only possible from advanced tracking and stabilization methods, lets you smooth out your clips effortlessly. In this video I demonstrate the results from both smoothing motion and completely removing motion and show you some of the more advanced options in the effect.
The Warp Stabilizer, while not a replacement for well shot footage, will be a welcome addition to all editors and is a great new tool in Premiere Pro CS6’s arsenal.
