Need some kind of steady cam setup, as up and down, besides sideways
on each turn, has you dizzy watching the vid.
Can you not get steady-ing software? I would have thought so.

It doesn't work so well because the camera is travelling - it can't
figure out what's a wobble and what's simply the subject moving
closer. Steadycam after effects work far better when it's a case of
the guy with the camera being fixed, pointing at the same subject, but
wobbling a bit.


Possibly, but i would have thought writing an algorithm to determine
what's a jitter could be done. For example the shape of someone won't
change much from frame to frame, but their position would translate to
somewhere else and back again for a jitter. Also, the vast majority of
the picture (i.e the background) would not be moving at all so there
would be fixed points of reference everywhere. May not be perfect but
I'm sure most jumpy videos could be improved quite a bit by the right
software.
