This is the result we'll create: a handheld video from a night market that originally shakes turns smooth, as if recorded with a gimbal, all with just one effect. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Videos recorded while walking are almost always shaky. Warp Stabilizer analyzes camera movement, then separates intentional movement from unwanted shaking. Create a composition from the night market footage.
Rotate the preview and notice the lanterns and kiosk signs, everything shakes up and down following the footsteps of the recorder. That's the shaking we'll remove.
Select the footage, then in the Effects & Presets panel, search for Warp Stabilizer and double-click. The effect works immediately, a blue banner appears analyzing in the background. After Effects tracks hundreds of points to calculate the camera path. After the analysis is complete, the banner changes to stabilizing.
The camera path is smoothed, then each frame is shifted and rotated slightly to counteract the shaking. Stabilized framing, crop, auto scale slightly enlarges the image so the empty edges are not visible.
Result smooth motion maintains the camera movement, only smoothing it. Smooth has 50% as default. Increase it to 100% for a smoother result, but remember, the more smooth, the more auto scaling.
Turn off the FX Warp Stabilizer icon and play for a moment. Shaking returns. Turn it back on, the image flows smoothly. Compare the kiosk sign at the top edge, which no longer jumps around. Play the first 7 seconds preview.
The night market recording now feels as if it was recorded with a gimbal. For long clips, cut the part you need first to make the analysis faster.
Done. We've already covered shaking, applied the Warp Stabilizer, understood the analysis and stabilization stages, adjusted smoothness and framing, and compared before and after. In the next episode, we'll stabilize using a tracker to lock onto a single point. Need promotional videos, logo animations, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for short films?
