Issues with Stabilization in DaVinci Resolve 16
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2019 11:17 pmHi there, I'm hoping I'm just being a bit of an idiot and I'm missing something painfully obvious here...
I'm trying to stabilize a timelapse. Basically I've been taking pictures from the same angle once a day, every day, for six months... but without a tripod. There's some changes in the framing, etc, and my main option so far was to MANUALLY adjust the X & Y positioning on every individual frame...
That's insanely time-consuming, soul-crushing, and just plain boring.
My issue is this; I know that when I stabilize, there'll be some small amount of zooming, etc... but that's not what's happening. DaVinci is zooming HARD, cutting half of the image out entirely, and shifting the remaining image across the screen so in a 1920x1080 output, about half the screen is the picture and the other half is solid black...
is how we start out...
is how we finish.
How do I stop it from being so insanely harsh with the crop here? I just want the dude to not jump around the frame, and I can edit from there...
