Is SteadyHand by DynaPel still around?

I've got about three minutes of some handheld telephoto zoomed SDV that shows how shakey (more of a jitter) I am. Recalling that many years ago, I purchased SteadyHand, I went searching and found the downloaded file, but the registration number is now long gone to who knows where.

I plugged it into the demo copy of SteadyHand and the default results were very good (except for the big orange logo right in the middle of the frames. Just what I need, but I guess DynaPel is no more as I can't find anywhere to purchase a new version.

So... I downloaded the demo of New Blue's stabilizer. After spending many hours trying the presets, then modifying the settings, then trying again, I can't get anything that is appreciably better than the original footage. I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not encouraged that NB is going to give me what I need.

Does anyone know if Dynapel still exists?

Thanks,
RalphM

Define what this means... (please). I've never heard the term.

Something you might use to fasten a sign on the back of a moving bus or change its number plate (license plate?).

I've not heard it expressed in those terms before, but I guessed this was what Jim H meant. And yes, it would be great to have that facility - what a good idea!

Grazie

license = verb
licence = noun

That's what I and the Oxford dictionary think too, but Mr Webster doesn't. I was trying to translate into American. :)

If I were President my first mandated change would be to purge the English language of all words spelled the same with double, tripple, quad meanings. Anyone that disagreed would be shot. (killed)

Two words are too many to worry about :-)

Well for starters, "two" should be pronounced the way it is spelt (spelled?). After all, we pronounce the "w" in "twice", "twilight", "twelve" (2+10) and “twenty” (2x10). Compare with German "zwei", “zweimal”, “zwielicht”, "zwölf" and “zwanzig”.

On second thought, "two" should be spelt and pronounced "twi" as in "twice" and "twilight".

Or we could go with the Scots longing for the return of Bonny Prince Charlie, who have their hearts broken in "twa".
