Note though, that some of the shake will still remain. When reducing the Smoothness, the effect will have less of that jello look to it. You can also choose to reduce Smoothness. No motion will eliminate any motion in it, which is what you would have achieved in the first place with the tripod.

No Motion is best for tripod shots where the camera is supposed to be still. Smooth Motion is best used for shots where the camera is moving, like if you’re filming a moving car. Some of the movements in the original shot will be kept. If you want to a more handheld look to your footage, head to Stabilization > Result > Smooth Motion.To remove all the shake, go to Stabilization > Result > No Motion.Depending on your style, you might want to keep some or remove all the shake. While stabilizing video in Premiere, you don’t always have to remove all shake. So, it’s up to you if it needs some extra care. Some clips may be fine with the default Warp Stabilizer settings and others might require a little more adjusting. However, depending on your style and how much shake you want to retain, you may need to jump into settings and start adjusting. It’s not perfect but it’s solid for quick projects.Your footage should be looking more stable already. If you use a No Motion setting in Warp Stabilizer, drop in your text, while applying both a horizontal and vertical flip to the text since the stabilizer is actually the reverse of the underlying handheld shot.īack in the main sequence apply another horizontal and vertical flip and the text looks like it is matching the motion extremely closely. Now to take a look at text you may want to add to the sequence. You can tweak your warp stabilizer settings here without issue to get it looking just right, but be sure never to hit analyze as it will remove all the useful information from the setting. When you head back to the main sequence you’ll now see that your tripod shot is now handheld. Next, go into the nested sequence and replace the handheld shot with your tripod shot. Start with your handheld shot and drop it on the timeline, then right-click on it and select “Nest.” Apply the Warp Stabilizer to the shot.

Here’s how you can do it using footage you likely already have. Looking at your tripod shot you can use a handheld preset or add some motion manually. The key part is by stealing the handheld shake from one of your actual handheld shots and copying it to the static footage. Jordy from has a trick to do just that, and make your footage’s movement look very natural. However, sometimes you use that tripod and want to give it a little life by adding a little bit of natural-looking camera shake. Either you ended up with too much shake and need to smooth it out or are trying to get it looking like a tripod shot. Much of the pain from shooting handheld comes from trying to stabilize it in post.
