Hello,

Hopefully someone will be gracious enough to help me out with what I am trying to do. I was recently at a concert and recorded it via my iphone 4. I'm trying to run it through deshaker to make it better. I've followed the instructions to a tee but the results are not good. I converted the original .mov file to .avi using ffmpeg and xvid codec and the results were good so the first step was a success. I then open virtualdub and open the .avi. I go to videos/compression and select the xvid codec and select 720p. Next I go into filters and select deshaker and put in my settings. I have rolling shutter selected. This goes well and I select first pass. Next I click the output play button. I think a separate window is supposed to open up showing me the vectors with the dots and lines as it processes correct? I don't see that. Its only the original which processes a frame at a time (choppy). I have motion vectors selected. I let it run through anyway and do pass 2 as well and the results were terrible. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your time.

first, use input plugin to open mov files
once file is opened, play file from start to finish in pass 1
then select pass 2, and now you should get the results you want
motion vectors are displayed in the video during pass 1
there are other threads about this, please look around
