I'm no expert on Vista (I'm waiting until SP1 is out before I even look at it seriously) but I believe that one of the things it does differently from XP is that it won't allow users to write files to what it regards as "protected areas" and the root directory is one of these areas.

This means that when the Deshaker script attempts to write its deshaker.log file to the root directory after the first pass it won't succeed, and I suspect that this is the reason for the failure you are experiencing. If I'm right, a simple modification to the Deshaker script to make it put the deshaker.log file somewhere other than the root directory should fix this problem.

Mark

I don't know Vista at all, but Mark is probably correct. If he is, the solution is to edit the deshake.js script (which I wrote). Find every occurrence of:

c:\\Deshaker.log

and change it to point to some folder, instead of the root. Because of how the script language works, you have to use TWO backslashes. Thus, to save the log file in the "stuff" folder on the E: drive, you'd search for all occurrences of the above string and change it to:

e:\\stuff\\Deshaker.log

You can use Notepad to edit the script.

Deshaker now works in Vista 64 with those changes. I am using Virtualdub 1.77. With 4 x 3 aspect I am getting a lot of vertical side edge border movement but the project is stabilized. (Viewed on 16 x 9 monitor) Tried on a 16 x 9 project and it worked fine. Then tried on HDV (1080 x 60) and note popped up saying could not find "SFDB" codec.Wondering if I drop back to V-dub 1.70 if the borders will stabilize and what is "SFDB" codec.
Thanks a bunch.
JJK

what is "SFDB" codec

I don't know. Have you altered the script (other than the log file change)? If you use the default settings, it should use "uncompressed," and that will avoid using any codec. I definitely did use it on 1080i 60 fps HDV and it worked.

Just to be certain, I just ran a test using 1080i 60 fps HDV. I am using VirtualDub 1.6.18 Build 24473, which is what I shipped with the script. Everything worked eventually, but I did have some problems when I cancelled the building of the audio peaks. However, when I let those peaks build, and also remembered to first save the project (the VEG file) before starting the script, everything worked.

So, the differences between your system and mine (AFIK) are:

1. I am running Windows XP Pro.
2. I am running a single CPU, single core, single thread system.
3. I am running the 1.6.18 Build 24473 version of VirtualDub.
4. I am running the unmodified version of the original script.
5. I am using all the defaults on the script which means both the render from Vegas, and the render from the Deshaker script are done to an uncompressed file. I realize that this results in HUGE files, but it avoids the issues with codecs.
6. I am running Vegas 7.0d.
7. I used the default 1080i project settings.

You should be able, once you get it working with uncompressed files, to use Cineform or some other codec to render from VirtualDub back into Vegas. However, for troubleshooting purposes, start with the defaults.

Finally, if you still have Vegas 7 installed somewhere, try that and see if everything works there. One reason I shipped Deshaker and VirtualDub with the script is that every program keeps changing its interface to the outside world, and the only way this kludge will work is if the variables are reduced or eliminated. Sony completely changed scripting (again) in Vegas 8, breaking a lot of scripts, so if this works at all in Vegas 8, I'd be amazed.

johnmeyer:
First off it is not a kluge.
I am using V8.0b, 8gig ram, Q6600, Vista 64 bit with all updates.
Virtualdub 1.6.18, Deshaker 2.2, with log set to drive "M" and temp file to drive "D".
1. First project Captured with vidcap 6, 4 x 3 NTSC no problems except for a lot of vertical side border movement. (720 x 480)
2...Second project HDV captured with older Cineform then set in properties to DV Widescreen, (720 x 480)
no problems
3...Third project HDV captured with latest Cineform set to HDV (1080 x 60i) in properties,no problems.
4....Fourth project captured with older cineform (and maybe V6) set to HDV (1080 x 60i) and the menu popped up "needs codec SFDB" then craps out. Sometimes will knock out video and have to reboot on project #4.
5....Also All Work with V-dub 1.77 except project 4.
Have not tried with the Cineform Neo 3.2.3 capture yet.
Looks fine to me except on older Vegas & Cineform projects.

First off it is not a kluge.

I wasn't speaking of YOUR stuff; I was speaking of the monster I created with a script and an outside program and another script and some very stupid coding, etc.

If you can post about 15-30 frames from the Cineform HDV project that is causing the problem, I will see if I can reproduce the problem on my computer. Since Cinceform is frame-by-frame compression, you can use either Vegas or VirtualDub (Direct Stream Copy mode) to create a short snippet and it should be identical to the original.

johnmeyer:
I was referring to your script which I thought was a stroke of genius.
JJK

Yes, I think John's mixing of apps with script was well done and thought out. And he was willing to share it free and support it without demanding a thousand IOUs --- which is great. This forum has had more than a few to contribute some great; scripts, tips, vegs, effects, business tips, hardware and OSs tips.

I was referring to your script which I thought was

I just love seeing stuff like that in big print.

Thank you for those kind words (and apit's as well). Sorry for the imodest approach (above) to thank you, but I couldn't resist.

I keep promising myself to finish what I started. There is a way to let you control the Deshaker parameters directly from within Vegas. I started out trying to emulate the Deshaker dialog, and actually did that, but realized that there is a much better way.

If you have nothing better to do, copy the script below and run it from within Vegas. Absolutely none of the controls are hooked up (except OK and Cancel), but I think you will be mildly amused and interested.

Wow, I'm more than mildly interested here. If you can find the time to carry this through to completion it would be absolutely terrific

The Vegas Deshaker script already makes it so much easier to deshake footage than having to do it manually via VirtualDub/Deshaker that it enables you to use it in situations where you would otherwise balk at the effort involved. Its only real problem is the difficulty of making any adjustments to the Deshaker parameters by editing the script - if you could really make that controllable via a working version of your mockup it would make an already fabulous program completely perfect.

I've looked at various other deshaking applications and I still find that the results obtainable for free with Deshaker are better (or at least no worse) than anything I've seen fom even expensive programs. The only area the others score over Deshaker in is ease of use, as far as I can see. If you are able to make this control panel script work you will remove even this disadvantage.

Let me once again add my thanks to you for making the Deshaker script available. I've collected lots of Vegas scripts over the years and the dozen or so of yours I have are consistently among the best and most useful (and most often used) of those I've accumulated. And the Deshaker script is the most glorious of all of them in my opinion.

The Mercalli plugin can do the same or better quality and do it much faster. The one thing that keeps me from chucking all my work (other than $$$) is the lack of border options. I hate losing resolution by zooming, especially with SD.

johnmeyer:
I recaptured the project that didn't work with Vista 64, advc 300, V8b, and Neo Cineform 3.2.3 from the Z1 then saved as a 1080 x60i veg then deshakered a chunk and everything worked fine. Media Player 11 is a real bust in Vista 64 so I rendered that section and played it back in Power DVD and it looked fine. So I know now to recapture older projects and everything is well. Don't have to spend $119.00 for Mercali. Deshaker has won the war and the battle.
PS: I will need a blow by blow on how to download that script up above.

PS: I will need a blow by blow on how to download that script up above.

1. Click on my post above.
2. Select all the text in the "code" section.
3. Select "Copy" from the Edit menu.
4. Open Notepad.
5. Paste the text you copied.
6. Save the result, and make sure to add the extension ".js"

When you are finished, you should have a file named something like

DeshakeDialog.js

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I changed my original script. Now deshaker is called from avisynth allowing me better results on interlaced footage by first upconveting from 25i to 50p, then deshaking 50p and converting back to 25i (should also easily be adoptable to 30i). I will extract it soon from the project where I am actually using, so Johnmeyer you can implement the changes into your script if you want.

Well for people that are new:

I have written the original deshaking script (can be found on www.luxmemories.lu). This one is for our internal purposes. However it is much too difficult to use, as it is tailored to our way of processing. Johnmeyer adopted it an made the changes necessary for it to become much more user friendly. Once again, many thanks for your work.

Concering mercally, I already tried the demo version and I am personally prefering the results from deshaker.

> Concering mercally, I already tried the demo version and I am personally prefering the results from deshaker

I agree. Mercalli is nice to use but it is so bad at dealing with the borders that you end up having to zoom in so much that (a) you degrade the quality, and (b) you end up turning a long shot into a mid-shot, a mid-shot into a close-up, or whatever, which means you often can't use it in practice without compromising your intentions. Although Deshaker is harder to use it does let me end up with the result I want.

My thanks to you also for creating and making available the original script that John adapted and friendlified. Your generosity is much appreciated.

Mark

I have written the original deshaking script (can be found on www.luxmemories.lu).

While I have acknowledged many times in these forums that I did not write the original script, and while your original copyright is, of course, in "my" script, let me once again state here in this forum that the majority of the work -- and the beautiful invention of making the "deshaken" video appear as takes in Vegas -- are entirely your work and not mine.

Because of my background, I have a flair for PR, and therefore many people refer to this as "johnmeyer's" script. It is not my script. True, I figured out how to automate the process and pass parameters to Deshaker from Vegas, and made many other "usability" refinements, but 70-80% of the code in that script is not mine.

Just for the record ... and to make sure credit goes where it is due.

P.S. It will be very interesting to see what improvements can be had by doing motion estimation. I have had amazing results using those techniques, both with slow motion and, more recently, with automated cleaning of old film. Actually, for the first time a few weeks ago, I finally figured out an approach that gets rid of up to 90% of all dirt on filmm with almost no noticeable artifacts. Amazing stuff.

Show this and learn...

http://www.infotoday.com/eventdv/mercalli/mercalli.html

Final setup: Vista 64 bit, V8.0b, Virtualdub 1.77, Deshake filter 2.2 and Deshaker script modified temp file to "D" and log file to "M". Using all of the script defaults on 1080 x 60i & Z1 material captured with Cineform Neo 3.2.3. I am just thrilled to death of the performance and results. No individual items in the project dancing around relative to the corrections. Nothing out of focus. The project was flowers and leaves.
JJK

John,

Thanks for making deshaker useable from inside Vegas. I have meant to send you an email to say thanks the last time I had to use deshaker and was able to use your automated script to bypass all of the virtual dub settings.

Deshaker is a great piece of software and I am planning on using it again this week to steady out some hi def footage. So, thanks to the original author and thanks to John for making it oh so much easier to use.

By the way John, any time estimate on that new interface? :)
