How to fix a 360 degree jeryk pan

[jayesonearl]

I have a very jerky 360 degree panoramic pan I need to fix.
Is there anyway to average out the speed?

I also thought of grabbing frames and stitching together a static images (which I did, it’s now 20,000 pixels wide) and then doing an animated camera pan but don’t quite know how.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Do this:

It works great, even if you just project onto a sphere and refilm. Plus it makes you look cool, and gives you fantastic control.

if all you are trying to do is stabilize the shot, try the techinque for automatic 3d stabilization @ http://www.instinctual.tv

Thanks I’ll give both a try.

Both suggestions are good, however a couple problems still exist and the camera mapping created another.

1 The shot I’m fixing is a continual pan (Dawson City on the longest day of the year and the 24 hour sun )in a complete circle so I ended up with around 40 camera solves. ( The footage was shot by an inexperienced camera person but I think it was the image stabilizer that gave the footage such a jerky motion.

Some of the frames are out of focus which is why I thought it might be better to stitch together a still of the cleanest frames then do a animated pan over the still.

The video posted were both excellent, thanks

In the meantime I’ll keep working with the camera mapping to see if I can get an acceptable result

Good luck! I think making a giant panorama could work for you as well. I’ve really enjoyed the camera mapping technique, but you may have a particularly messy setup to work with if you had to do that many solves. I’d love to see the result when you do figure it out.
