I was just wondering I shoot some footage (motion backgrounds) for green screen work. Now I need to composite some people in there that were shot on green screen, however I did not bring a tripod along and the video is a little shaky just little gitters, hardly anything but It just might be noticeable

Boris Red has an excellent motion tracker but its a bit of an investment.If your doing a lot of this ,it would be worth looking into.
There are several less costly ones out there but I'm not sure how good they are ,as some may reduce quality more than others.
Steadyhand I think is fairly cheap.A search here may show up a few ,I seem to remember a discussion a while back.

I believe Adobe After Effects has a stabilizer in it. Think my AE 5.5 does anyway. Something to check.

Apparently deshaker plug-in for virtualdub works well, and is free. You can do a search on deshaker.
