Hallo, i have Vegas 21 Build 300. I have a project where i have stabilized a lot of clips. However, when i want to move them, or insert time before, some them lose their stabilization and the nit takes alto of time to restore it. I have tried insert time in the timeline, auto ripple and ct paste all the project, but to no avail. Most of the clips sustain theis stabilization, but others fail. Its very exhausting.
Any suggestions?
There are two main ways to avoid that long existing stabilisation issue:
1. Leave processing stabilisation FX until the edit is complete and there'll be no change to the length of those video events after stabilisation has been applied; or
2. Stabilise the video events and then render each to new video events for use in the project. This is what I do using Mercalli 5 Standalone selecting, say, 6, 7 or 8 seconds to stabilise even though only 4, 5 or 6 seconds is likely to be used in the final project.
If not wanting to create intermediate renders for quality reasons, then the first approach is probably the best approach to avoid having to redo FX processing during the edit.
@hitman47 Try applying stabilization to the MediaFX level of the clips instead. That way, moving or manipulating your clips will reflect none of those issues.
If a video is split and i apply stabilization to the MediaFX level, would this affect all its clips? As of myknowledge, to apply it sepperatly, you use the Fx.

Yes.
I do stabilisation the way I do because often there are two or more sections of the one event that I want to use and each section needs slightly different stabilisation processing. And there's likely to be a wonky zoom (I'm mostly handheld shooting) in between the sections that I wouldn't want to be included in the stabilisation process. Ditto at the head and tail of the event where I could still be framing after hitting record and/or there's a camera swish at the tail when the camera doesn't stop recording instantly - neither of which is great to include when stabilising.
Here is an image of where to easily press on the edge of your video clip, where the MediaFX video filter options will pop..... After you stabilize, splitting it or any other manipulation won't affect the stabilization going forward.
Also take a look at the online help where pros and cons of both options are explained:
What Steve is suggesting (MediaFX level) is only advisable if all the media needs be used and there is no extreme shaking at certain points (such as the beginning and end usually have) which could be cut out and the shaking is more or less the same magnitude overall (to avoid having the worst part bring the rest down). Otherwise for the best approach just follow Dexcon's suggestions.
@bitman That's just one of the many optional uses the MediaFX feature offers.
