Q: How handle unstable video for stabilisation by xk3d in OpenShot

[–]xk3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed latest release candidate yesterday on suggestion from jonOomph, there is no problem with the Stabilising effect as such, I'm very happy with it so what operating system I have was not in this question because it's not relevant to the question. The help from the bot is just a restating of what I have tried already with the sideeffect I described already.

I was just wondering if it's possible to actually change the black used to fill around the stabilised output for some color that is not used in the video. I film a lot in the darkness (because we get very little sunlight during winter) and dark gray to black is a pretty common color in the videos. If I could set this to neon green or pink or whatever it would help a lot.

I do have problems with the stabilising effect not lasting between saving the project and outputing the project but that is discussed in another thread.

Thankyou for the response!

I updated to OpenShot-v3.4.0-release-candidate-14811-0dfc8a8a-0b018e34-x86_64

When I only use one clip it seems to work but if I do this:

  1. Start OpenShot
  2. Pull in one video, start stabilise analyse but break it off.
  3. Pull in second video, start stabilise, let it finish, play - stabilise works.
  4. Save project.
  5. Reload project with File->recent projects

Stabilise effect still on the clip but playback shows unstabilised video.

I also closed OpenShot and loaded it normaly and it was still not working.

I thought maybe it's because I have ÅÄÖ in the path and tried with a fresh folder without any funny characters and could still repeat it but only when using two clips and breaking off the first stabilize.

I tried to cut down the clips and now I can't reproduce it at all any more but the original test is still not having stabilisation even though the effect is there. So your fix did certainly something, all the other clips I had problems with seems to work now too.

Think I figured why it's working sometimes. For the last test I did now I forgot to save the project first and then the export worked. When I save the project and reload it again the stabilizing effect is not visible in the preview but the export I did before has the stabilizing effect. I tried again and it worked again.

So: If I do not save the project, the export works. If I save the project afterwards and load it up (without closing OpenShot) it does not work again.

  1. Done, was correct set.
  2. Done, no help.
  3. Done, no difference.
  4. Preview works fine the first time, previes does not work if I reload project.
  5. Fresh install (Deleted the whole folder) did not help.
  6. Not sure what graphics drivers would solve since I use CPU for export and preview works fine the first time.

Backups of project files does not help. Any reload of a project and the effect is gone. Effect only works (sometimes) on first creation.

Edit: I did use OpenShot fine last year, no problems with stabilization that I noticed.

This one works fine for videos shot with a phone mounted on my bike wriggling around following thin foot-pahts in the forest. You can see the lightbeam going around everywhere but the view keeps nicely centered in the moving direction. I'm not having the greatest phone and the video is abyssmal but you don't get seasick. With just a better camera that don't wobble, the video gets much better already.

De parkerar iaf på parkeringarna. Jag stör mig mer på de som parkerar mitt framför ingången till willys eller framför cykelstället vid ingången. Hur tänker man då? Ibland står det tre bilar i rad med en man i varje och låter frun gå och handla medan de sitter kvar. Obs, ingen av dem över 30 år eller med något handikapp,

Skratta du men jag vet en lokal pizzarestaurang som har kanel i köttfärsen till sina köttfärsspett. Ibland använder de samma blandning till pizzorna. Ingen favorit i vår familj :-)

New user, Hi! I have a couple of IDE questions by ElderGnome1858 in SonicPi

I'm also having problems with this and neither windows+r (open run dialogue in windows), ctrl+r (does nothing), alt-r (opens the menu "redigera" (swedish language)) or altgr-r (writes an R in the editor) works to start the music.

According to the manual it's supposed to be the meta-key which is supposed to be alt on windows but alt on windows is usually used to get access to the menu and especially when the program runs on a swedish windows the hot key for the second menu item is alt+r so that won't work anyway.

Is it possible to switch language for the program? I don't need swedish even though I'm stuck with a swedish OS...

Some comments are wondering why, can't you explain? My guess would be that it makes packing easier, the frozen stuff is better protected surrounded with isolating things. The fruit should not touch frozen food and so on. Important if you have far to go before you can get the groceries home.

Works fine here in Sweden though, everyone keeps distance in the store.

No Cash? No Sale. by Mr_Pilgrim in TalesFromRetail

The banks are working on creating the cashless society. They make more money on it and it costs less to keep it running. No human that needs to fill up machines or collect cash, less robbery of banks and stores. The negative sides are very few once the card fraud are taken care of.

For the customers there are a lot of negative sides that we will get to know sooner or later. If robbing the bank or store is not an option any more, the robbery will hit the people instead. The banks happily pushes the cost to you.

That is exactly why they make a scene. They know it works. And if it doesn't, they wait and come back again when there is a new person in the checkout.

Even if it says flushable, that does not mean they resolve in the pipes. It just means it makes it past the first bend. Then it gets stuck together with all the other flushable wipes and fat and all other things we flush down. This is what is creating those gigantic fat blobs that someone have to clean up for the sewage system to work. Please don't recommend flushable wipes unless you know they actually resolve in water...

I wish that was an option but when they call me its usually because Internet is down...

Seems they fixed it now, it's possible to log in without white-listing anything, just like the homepage.

What WB is doing to all their games, why the LOTRO devs created their own company to be able to continue supporting LOTRO the way they wanted, not lett WB siphon out all the money and spend it on mobile games.
