Anyone else tried fiddling around with Youtube's new video stabilization feature?
I know this isn't directly Vegas-related but good, easy, relatively cheap stabilization is something I'm always interested in.
With Youtube's service you can stabilize an existing uploaded video and optionally save the results as a new upload. There don't appear to be any other options, like only stabilizing a certain section or selecting the type of stabilization.
The results I've seen are somewhat mixed. Camera shake appears to be handled well but the resulting video to my eyes is a little fuzzy. Plus it appears to not do an initial analysis of the video; for example, you can take a vid that doesn't need correction and you'll see that the service assumes the need to zoom and crop by default.
It would be interesting if there comes a time when a video can be stabilized by a web-based service and then brought back down to the desktop for further editing - or perhaps all editing on the web - with acceptable quality of course.
