Hi there, is there any way stabilizing a shot in such a way that DR will ignore motion in the foreground and lock off the background? I have a shot that was on a Tripod and it's a fence post blowing in and out towards the camera in the wind, behind the post is the horizon of a field with a stonewall running along it. Even though the shot is locked off the wind is causing the horizon to vibrate a little and it's this I'm trying to eliminate. In Adobe after effects I can create a solid over the footage and mask out the post and then pre-compose these two layers and then stabilize the shot and because of this it is not trying to stabilize the post but just the horizon. When it has finished stabilizing I open the comp and disable the solid mask and the footage is good to go! I have tried the new stabilizer in DR 14 with no luck as it wants to stabilize the foreground elements and the point tracker is hopeless. It's a shame as I can now do most of my work in Davinci and leave Adobe (I'm still using CS6) as I don't like the whole subscription thing but this is the only thing that is holding me back.
