Hi
I'm in the middle of finishing a wedding gob in hdv with PPro2 and I'm wondering if makes sense to pay $500 for a image stabilization plug-in called steadymove to improve some of the stabilization in some of the scenes.

If this plug-in works well with hdv?
So far I try the demo and is not bad at all. but Demo doesn't let you work on hdv footage. I'm currently using cineform codecs on my jobs.
Please if somebody knows about this software performance and if works good with hdv and cineform inside PPro2 let me know please.

Works greats with hvd. But I noticed that is just fixing moves related with the bumpy effect when you walk or run with the handheld cam.

It's sad that you have to pay $500 bucks for this PPro plug-in when the Final Cut Studio is already including this feature.

But works I will give a 8.9 score Hehe!!

If you wanted to take the time to convert the shaky clips to an avi, or some format that virtualdub would handle, you could use the deshaker plugin for free.

I think the last two versions of Premiere Pro I purchased included Steadymove on the program CD. It was the basic version, but it came with the program for free.

I also got ProdStudioStandard/PPro2 and found 2d3 standard included which works reasonably well. The upgrade allowed the plugin to steady zoooming in or out so I skipped it.

I tried basic SteadyMove plugin from Premiere with 720@25p footage yesterday, and the shake seemed even WORSE than before. Definitely not better. I am not sure that it works with HDV.
