Good to see the way to access the function, but not really a good demonstration of what can be achieved... better to use a hand-held walking shot or something more practical than a jiggles of tripod shot. Sorry, not being nasty, just suggesting it would be more revealing to show some real-life results... and what one can really expect.

I'm still on Pro 8 and have used the "new" Deshaker script. Any comments on how this Pro 10 stabilization feature compares with Deshaker? I'd upgrade for this feature, but not unless it's better than Deshaker.

Thanks.

Left out that the clip was imported with Raylight Ultra ( http://dvfilm.com/raylight/ultra ). The workaround will be obsoleted by release 1.3 of Ultra which will have direct P2 Export.

This may be about time, Premiere Pro has had it for over 5 years , starting with 1.5.1?

Hi Colin -
Sounds like a great idea, but I don't have any immediate plans to do that. Sorry. Mike

Thanks for the tutorial on this new Vegas 10 feature. I read mixed reviews about it. What are the chances we could see a more thorough tutorial with perhaps a more challenging clip?

Thank you.
