Videos from cameras often shake. Shake comes from many sources and is amplified byhigh-power zoom lenses. Swaying buildings, wind-driven locations, cameras mounted near machinery or Heating Ventilation Air Condition, PTZ servos and of course all mobile applications, including helicopter shooting – they all generate shaky and unsteady videos.
Steady is more than beauty
______________________
Removing the shake has more benefits than the obvious professional look for the
installation:
• A steady video shows cleaner details. Sharp details are a requirement for good
and high quality video.
• Steady video is less fatiguing to watch. Keeping the viewer interested is very
important. A simple change like a steady image helps a lot to meet that goal.
• Steady video compresses better. Modern digital compressors use a lot of bits to
encode moving features of a video. If the whole image shakes, it is all moving.
This wastes an enormous number of bits. Remove the shake and digital recorders
store more video.
