applying stabilization to a side by side stereo movie clip
Re: applying stabilization to a side by side stereo movie clip
Most of my 3d stereo video recording is done using two cameras. In many cases I record at 120fps ( Slow motion mode on the camera ). In this mode any stabilization on the camera is switched off. Also there is no sound recorded and the focus and exposure settings are fixed at the point the record button is pressed. I don't find this a problem and to some extent it is an advantage. To make synchronization of the timing of the two clips easier when editing, I put my hand/arm moving in a downward direction in front of the two camera lenses at the beginning of the recording. If sound is being recorded then I make a click sound with my mouth near the two cameras and use this on the sound tracks to align the timing of my videos to the nearest frame. I use a couple of different video editors for producing Side by Side or anaglyph outputs.
The cameras I am using don't have log profile, so I have a custom setting where I make the contrast , saturation, noise reduction, sharpness all set to a low setting. This creates a sort of flat image which I have to grade back to a 'normal' look in the video editor. I think it gives me a little more dynamic range than I would otherwise get using a 'normal' profile ( ie REC709 ).

Chris and Jordan are enjoying some well deserved time off this week, so we're taking a trip in the wayback machine to revisit the launch of Canon's original full-frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R. Give it a watch to see how far Canon's mirrorless line has come.
The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sony's high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. We think it excels at stills.
After weeks with a production Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Chris and Jordan get into more detail than they could in their initial review.
Topaz Labs' flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?
Ultra-wide to short telephoto?! The Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G has a very useful focal range, so we took it to the mountains to see how it performs.
