2. The effects panel

Head to the effects panel and type in: Warp Stabiliser.

3. Click it and drag it over to your footage

Click the warp stabiliser, drag it over to your footage, and place it on top of the selected footage.

4. You should then see the analysing message

A Blue analysing message will appear. Leave it for a few minutes and continue editing. The length of time is dependent on the complexity of the clip, so if there are a lot of random shaky movements, it normally takes a little longer than one with a singular movement.

5. Adjust the parameters

Adjust the smoothness parameters to make sure the clip runs as stable and smooth as possible without a glitch or stutter to the motion.
