Overview

Stabilize shaky video footage and reduce camera jitter with our online Video Stabilizer. Powered by the advanced vidstab filter, this tool smooths out handheld camera movements, action shots, and panning errors to deliver professional-grade, steady video files in formats like MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, and MOV.

When to use

When handheld smartphone footage suffers from distracting camera shake or jitter.
When action camera recordings from running, cycling, or hiking need smoothing out for better watchability.
When drone or aerial footage experiences wind-induced vibrations that disrupt the shot.

How it works

1Upload your shaky video file (up to 100MB) in any standard video format.
2Adjust the stabilization strength from 1 to 20 to define the motion detection search radius.
3Choose your preferred output format (such as MP4 or MOV) and decide whether to keep the original audio track.
4Process the video to run the vidstab algorithm and download your stabilized, smooth output.

Use cases

Smoothing out shaky vlogs recorded while walking or talking.
Stabilizing fast-paced action sports footage captured on chest or helmet mounts.
Correcting minor wind vibrations in drone and real estate walkthrough videos.

Examples

1. Stabilizing a Handheld Vlog

Vlogger

Background

A travel vlogger recorded a walking tour of a city, but the footage is too shaky to upload directly to YouTube.

Problem

The constant walking motion caused distracting vertical and horizontal camera jitter.

How to use

Upload the MP4 vlog file, set the stabilization strength to 12 for moderate shake correction, keep the audio enabled, and select MP4 as the output format.

Strength: 12, Output Format: MP4, Keep Audio: True

Outcome

The camera jitter is smoothed out, resulting in a steady, professional-looking travel vlog.

2. Smoothing Action Camera Footage

Mountain Biker

Background

A cyclist captured a downhill trail run using a handlebar-mounted action camera, resulting in high-frequency vibrations.

Problem

The rapid vibrations make the trail details hard to see and cause viewer eye strain.

How to use

Upload the raw AVI video, set the stabilization strength to 18 to handle the aggressive movements, and export as a WebM file.

FAQ

What video formats does the stabilizer support?

You can upload most standard video formats and export the stabilized output as MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, or MOV.

What does the stabilization strength setting do?

It sets the motion detection search radius from 1 to 20. Higher values detect and correct larger camera movements but require more processing.

Will stabilizing my video remove the audio?

No, you can keep the original audio track by ensuring the Keep Audio checkbox is selected.

Is there a file size limit for video uploads?

Yes, the tool supports video files up to 100MB in size.

How does the vidstab algorithm work?

It analyzes frame-to-frame motion vectors to detect camera shake, then shifts and rotates the frames to create a smooth, stabilized output.
