Using Mercalli Deshaker & faster playback speed

Christian de Godzinsky wrote on 4/9/2009, 9:26 AM

Hi,

I need to heavily deshake a long clip - but also run it at 4x speed. I cannot get satisfactory results, the rendered output is jerky whatever I do.

How does Mercally actually interpret a clip that is set to 4,00 x playback speed? Would it be better to first run Mercalli on a clip at native speed (1x) and render that result to a new track - and THEN speed that clip up to 4 x speed. Or vice versa?

I have done some experiments but was not able to get good results. Grateful for any comments.

Cheers

Christian

run @ 1x, then speed that up. That should do better (I haven't done 4x, but I have sped up those results well)

Hi,

THX Stephen, running Mercalli as I write now - at 1x - goos it takes some time... It would have been neat to do it directly on the timeline, this step is an additinal one that needs to be done separately, but I fully understand now why it must be done this way. Lazyness.. you know... crossing the fence where it is at its lowest, is not always successful.. ;)
