3 Ways to Stabilize Shaky GoPro or Travel Videos

Have shaky footages ever frustrated you when you tried to make an awesome travel video or outdoor sports video? Today we’ll introduce 3 ways to stabilize shaky footages so you can create professional looking videos.

No. 1 Gimbal stabilizer

Other than a quality camera, there’re a growing number of hardware accessories you can try. When you shoot videos with a cell phone or GoPro while you’re walking or panning, shaky footages are inevitable. In this case, a gimbal stabilizer can minimize the shakiness. In addition, some top cameras come with stabilization mode, so remember to check and turn it on if yours has it.

No. 2 With Filmora Video Editor

Then, open it and select Action Cam Tool. In this simple interface, you can import your footages to Filmora, and select Fix. Then, simply check Stabilization and drag to adjust the intensity level. You can also view the effect in preview window on the right and determine the proper adjust level. Note that in stabilization mode, your footage will be cropped a little bit, and cropped area will expand as you increase the intensity level.
Now, let’s see how stabilization in Filmora makes a difference.


No.3 With Youtube Video Editor
If you’re a youtuber, you can stabilize the video on your Youtube as well. Just upload your video to Youtube, and in Creator studio, choose video manger and select to edit your video. In the playback page, select enhancement. In this basic online editor, you can simply check Stabilize, and it will fix your shakiness right away. However, Youtube video editor does not allow you to adjust intensity level and it will compress your outcome video to some degree, so your Youtube video may not be in the same quality before you upload it.
