## Analysis Settings

Analyze button
  Click to run the stabilization analysis. During analysis, the viewport defaults to the Front view, and the frame advances as the stabilization is calculated. Progress can be monitored by the keyframes that have been created during analysis and the percentage of completion displayed next to the Analyze button. Track points are displayed on the clip to indicate how the stabilization was tracked.

Progress field
  Displays the percentage of the analysis that is complete. Non-editable.

Scene Flexibility field
  Displays the level of focus on rigid objects that move in the clip. Enter 0% to focus on a single rigid object as it moves or 100% to analyse all visible motion paths. If the analysis has no scene flexibility, the stabilization will focus on a single rigid object as it moves in the clip. Use the following values as a general guideline:

  Select: | To:
  --- | ---
  0%-20% | Stabilize a pan, tilt, zoom, or the motion of a single rigid object that is visible during the entire analysis.
  30%-70% | Stabilize objects that change their shape or depth, and exclude objects that are smaller or moving rapidly.
  80%-100% | Stabilize all visible movements.

Use Matte button
  Enable to exclude black areas on the matte from analysis on the front clip, and constrain the Analysis region.

Range From field
  Displays the value of the first frame to include in the analysis. Editable.

Range To field
  Displays the value of the last frame to include in the analysis. Editable.

Stabilization Method box
  Select whether to perform a two-dimensional or perspective analysis.

Negate Stabilization button
  Enable to apply the inverted parameter values.

Region of Interest button
  Enable to display a rectangle that can be resized to indicate the region you want to analyse on the front clip. Select Front from the View box.

Auto button
  Enable to automatically track motion within the region of interest. At each frame, the position of the region of interest is updated based on the motion within the area. If this button is disabled, and the region of interest was not previously tracked, the region of interest remains static.

## Stabilization Settings

Effect field
  Displays the percentage of smoothness used in the final stabilization output and determines how smooth the stabilization curves are. Editable.

Smoothness field
  Displays the level of smoothness of the stabilization curves generated by the analysis and determines the mix between the original motion and the completely stabilized transformation. Editable.

NoteThe Amount and Smoothness fields are active when the All Parameters button and the Lock Position buttons are not enabled.

All Parameters button
  Click to include all parameters in the stabilization. Click again to turn off all parameters.

Position X button
  Enable to include the X-axis position in the stabilization.

Position Y button
  Enable to include the Y-axis position in the stabilization.

Rotation button
  Enable to include the rotation in the stabilization.

Scaling button
  Enable to include scaling in the stabilization.

Perspective button
  Enable to include perspective in the stabilization.

Lock All button
  Click to link the parameter values at the reference frame to all frames in the analysis.

Position X Lock button
  Enable to link the X-axis position at the reference frame to all frames in the analysis.

Position Y Lock button
  Enable to link the Y-axis position at the reference frame to all frames in the analysis.

Rotation Lock button
  Enable to link the rotation at the reference frame to all frames in the analysis.

Scaling Lock button
  Enable to link scaling at the reference frame to all frames in the analysis.

NoteTo smooth rather than stabilize, ensure that all the Position Lock buttons are not enabled so that the Smoothness field is active. You should unlock the transformations that you don't want completely stabilized and then adjust the Effect and Smoothness fields to keep more or less of the original motion.

Perspective Lock button
  Enable to link the perspective at the reference frame to all frames in the analysis.

NoteYou can change the centre of rotation and scaling for the image. By default, the centre of rotation and scaling is the centre of the image, represented by a yellow crosshair. Switch to Front view, then hold down C and click the new centre point.

## Reference and Tracker Settings

Set Frame button
  Click to set the current frame as the reference frame for the stabilization.

Reference Frame field
  Displays the current reference frame. Non-editable.

Display Size field
  Displays the pixel width and height of track points. Editable.

Show Cloud button
  Enable to display the track point cloud.

Delete and Update button
  Click to delete selected track points and update stabilization curves. Selected points are displayed in red in the image.

## Offset Settings

Position X field
  Displays the X-axis offset applied to the clip. Editable.

Position Y field
  Displays the Y-axis offset applied to the clip. Editable.

Rotation field
  Displays the rotation offset applied to the clip. Editable.

Scaling field
  Displays the scaling offsets applied to the clip. Editable.

Project X field
  Displays the X-axis projection offsets applied to the clip. Editable.

Project Y field
  Displays the Y-axis projection offsets applied to the clip. Editable.

Anamorphic field
  Displays the anamorphic offsets applied to the clip. Editable.

Shear field
  Displays the shearing offsets applied to the clip. Editable.

## Rendering Settings

Repeat Mode box
  Select an option to fill the empty portions of the frame.

  Select: | To:
  --- | ---
  Repeat Last | Repeats last pixel color.
  Tile Repeat | Wrap the image around to fill the area.
  Mirror Repeat | Repeats the source pixels both vertically and horizontally.
  Repeat Off | Use a colour to fill the area. Use the adjacent colour pot to pick the colour. You will lose texture and will fill the rest of the image with a black border.

Resize Fit Mode box
  Select whether to resize the clip with width and height values.

Same as Input | The output resolution remains the same as the input resolution.
Custom | You define the output resolution.

Width field
  Displays the width of the image. Editable.

Height field
  Displays the height of the image. Editable.

Hardware Filtering button
  Enable to filter subpixel information.

Anti-Aliasing button
  Enable to activate sampling and softness.

Sampling box
  Select the number of samples to use in the anti-aliasing process.

Softness field
  Displays the level of softness of the samples. Editable.
