I want to do a "dynamic horizon correction" this would kind of be like "making a gimbaled video from a non gimbaled camera" sort of idea.
You see I have a bunch of video from a head worn camera, go-pro style. when you look far left, you will notice you tilt your head forward, off level putting the right side of you head downward - the result is that while forward face thing are level , but as you get to the far left, thing tilt off level , up to 30-40 degrees.
The opposite happens if you look far right, and the left side of your head goes down.
A similar effect happens, if you have a camera on a boat, that is rocking back and forth. The boat stays still, but the horizon bounces back and forth. I was able to correct a bunch by zooming in, and using the tilt/rotation functions and a TON of key frames, to correct it each time it had to tilt clockwise, and counter-clockwise. but surely there has to be some sort of automatic version of this?
Please note I am a but new to editing video , so please be kind.
I was hoping there was a tracker-like function for this .. that would analyze the video and be able to hold the horizon level, even as the camera twists ( obviously losing some resolution to the croping that need be done.)
I did try image stabilization , it didn't really seem to work. I could upload some video if that helps.
