Video stabilization using VidStab and FFMPEG

Examples here use the default settings, see the VidStab readme on GitHub for more advanced instructions.

Here's an example video I made

Install ffmpeg with the vidstab plugin from homebrew

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvidstab

Analyze your video to create a .trf file

This won't modify your video or create a new video, but it should create a new file called transform.trf

ffmpeg -i clip.mov -vf vidstabdetect -f null -

Use the .trf file to create a stabilized video

ffmpeg -i clip.mov -vf vidstabtransform=smoothing=5:input="transforms.trf" clip-stabilized.mov

This should create a new stabilized video called clip-stabilized.mov

Create a side by side comparison video

ffmpeg -i Clip8.mov -i Clip8-vidstab.mov -filter_complex "[0:v:0]pad=iw*2:ih[bg]; [bg][1:v:0]overlay=w" merged.mov

Side-by-side

ffmpeg -i clip.mov -i clip-stabilized.mov  -filter_complex hstack merged.mov

Vertically stacked

ffmpeg -i clip.mov -i clip-stabilized.mov  -filter_complex vstack merged.mov
