FYI....

ProDAD is now selling the Mercalli 2.0 stabilization plugin for CS5... they also now have a stand alone version too.

RedGiant Software has also just released Colorista II... works very well.

Mercalli 2 apparently exists, and there is some idea of pricing:

I wrote proDAD a note a couple days ago about when they had planned on updateing to CS5 and in return got an email with a very good upgrade price so I bought it...

But you are right in that its not on the yet... so if you want it I'd write to them and ask for pricing and all...

here is a blurb on it on youtube...

YouTube - DEMO proDAD Mercalli V2 Video Stabilization (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E80bJapOP3w)

Also here is the tutorial for Colorista II... the masking for color correction is great.. and you get to key it too.
there are three on this site... just go to Colorista II tutorials... the third tutorial really shows the mask/keying...

I have had a some issues dealing with them in the past. Glad they answered you right away...

Is this better than Steadymove by Red Giant?

Thanks

I don't think Red Giant has released SteadyMove for CS5 yet... But I'm also getting tired of paying for the updates from Red Giant... its getting to be expensive

I just got a pre release ver of Mercalli - works like a treat! the interface is different (I don't know that I like it) but it does the job - quick and easy

Mocha comes with Premium Production CS4 and CS5 and is a motion tracker but works also very good for stabilization hand held footage

I just stopped to grab a coffee and say - boy I love Mercalli! - it's great to have it back, turning marginal shots into "smooth as a baby's bum"

I did buy Mercalli Pro. Installing Mercalli SAL V2 stand alone and plugin 64bit was ok but installing Plugin for 32bit Vegas no success. It always stop same alarm.
I did contact support (customerservice@prodad.com). They tell me three times they have now problems their installation program, please download again. Then they left me no answer.
I have removed all, cleaned registry and installed again no help. Small company, no support...

Have anybody found instruction manuals for new version V2?

Thanks Alan for information.
Progam is working very well and easy to use. I think Mercalli will be used more often than AE or Mocha stabilation.
