Correct excessive shake and rolling shutter issues
You can smooth a clip’s shaky footage by correcting the stabilization, rolling shutter, or both.
The stabilization feature in Final Cut Pro reduces the camera motion in your video so that shaky
parts can be played back more smoothly. At any time, you can turn off stabilization for any clip so
that it plays as originally recorded.
Many camcorders and still cameras include CMOS image sensors that expose the picture they’re
recording progressively, instead of all at once. As a result, if the camera moves a lot during
recording, or if the camera is recording fast motion, image distortion can occur. This causes the
picture to appear wobbly or skewed. Final Cut Pro has a rolling shutter feature that can reduce
this motion distortion.
