in this tutorial, we're going to learn how to stabilize footage using the warp stabilizer effect. So go ahead and find the warp stabilizer effect. Search for warp in your effects bin Here are two shots from Hiking in southern California. The first is unstable. Ized the second is stabilized, you can see that the first there's a little bit of camera shake, the second nice and smooth. It almost looks like a nice tilt down with this shot it's a lot more shaky and the stabilizer tries to do a better job of stabilizing it and we're going to dive into the details of the effect to see how it's actually working. So first with this first one, let's just delete the warp stabilizer, you can see without. And then when we add warp stabilizer it analyzes it, it sees what's going on. It tries to see what's happening with the camera shake and then it will apply it and this one automatically does a decent job. We have the settings that are standard with the effect. We want a smooth motion shot if you wa...

nt, we can do no motion. And what it's really going to be doing then is zooming in and cropping just a bit. So see look at literally like no motion at all. There's a little bit of a sort of perspective change in the beginning but I like the smooth motion a lot better for this shot. It doesn't look bad at all The smoothness, you can change it from the 50% to a little bit slow lower. So if you want a little bit more of that motion or if you want less motion that's getting closer to the no motion option. And then the method we have sub space warp position, position, skill or perspective position is just going to move the frame around to try to get it to be stable, position, scale and rotation will not only just move it around left, right up and down, but it will rotate and it will scale up if necessary. And with perspective this will do a relatively good job because it's actually looking at your frame and it's kind of as if the camera angle was turning left right up or down to get a different angle. That does a really good job for this shot. Sub space warp kind of combines everything and it will actually bend your image so that it looks stable or tries to make it look stable. Let's jump over to the Hiking three clip. So without it very unstable with the effect stable. But you get this gelatin effect and I'm going to tell you upfront that this shot, it's just too shaky to have a good stabilization in adobe premiere pro you can take it into after effects or other programs and get it to be stable but in adobe premiere pro, there are some limitations. What we can try to do is change the subspace warp or change the smoothness. Maybe we don't want it as smooth. It's kind of counterintuitive when you're trying to make it more smooth. You think oh I want to make it 90% or 80 but sometimes you have to decrease the stabilization so that you don't get that gelatin effect. So at 10 you still get a little bit of that gelatin effect but it's better than without it. So without it super shaky with it I would say a little bit better to see what's going on. Let's change the borders framing from stabilized crop on auto scale to stabilize only look what's happening. This frame is bouncing around, it's going crazy. You see the edges, it's rotating, it's scaling up or down while it's not scaling up or down right now. But it's rotating, it's moving around if we want we can do a stabilized crop which just crops it in and then these stabilized crop and auto scale will actually zoom in to the footage to fill the frame can't. So these are a few options to play around with if you have a shot and you're trying to get it stable, I would definitely play with the smoothness going lower or higher. And then the method sometimes sub space warp works better but sometimes just perspective might look better than you don't get as much of that sort of jello effect. It's a little bit shaky still but less of that jello. So that's the warp stabilizer in adobe premiere pro it's a great tool I added to a lot of clips. Even stable clips that I use with my mono pod on because there are some of those minute hand motions that you don't think you're making. But then when you're watching your video on a big screen or just in high resolution, you will see those little minute motions and adding warp stabilizer really helps, and also for drone footage. Really good to add warp stabilizer to it. Thanks for watching and we'll see you in another lesson.
