OT: Att Gunnar Thalin (DeShaker)

Dear Gunnar Thalin (if you read this), I have two questions:

1. Is it possible for you to write a script or something like that, I do not know the technical terms / issues, such that we could use DeShaker as a plug-in inside Vegas?

2. It seams that Wax can’t handle the two pass options in DeShaker. Is it possible to rewrite the program such that there will be only “one pass”, if you understand what I mean?

Regards,
Joran (Norway)

I recommend you submit a product suggestion to Sony that they include a stabilization feature in Vegas in a future release. Click on Support -> Product Suggestion at the top of this page. Gunnar Thalin, as far as I know, never visits this forum.

Will do.

Gunnar does not read this forum. You can reach him at the virtualdub forum at vdub forum.

AFAIK, there is no way for him to redo it in 1 pass. The technique requires lookahead, and the software doesn't allow a plugin to access the future frames. This applies to both Virtualdub and Vegas.

For Vegas to handle this, I suspect this lookahead requirement will require significant work.

P.S. I've written a virtualdub script that helps automate deshaker. It does the 2 passes plus a 3rd to cut out the extra 30 frames. Lately though, wth the latest versions, this is not consistent. Sometimes I get 30 frames and sometimes I get 60 frames. Do a search in this forum on my name and "deshaker" and you'll find the script.
