# vidSmooth

This is an [Electron app](https://electronjs.org/) written as a frontend for [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) using the new [vid.Stab](https://github.com/georgmartius/vid.stab) library. vidSmooth takes an input video and outputs a stabilized version in high quality mp4/h264 format.

## Install (0.0.0.2)

Download and install for your OS:

- [MacOS](https://www.sonoclipshare.com/vidSmooth/vidSmooth.v0.0.2.Installer.dmg) (dmg, 140MB)

- [Windows](https://www.sonoclipshare.com/vidSmooth/vidSmooth.v0.0.3.installer.exe) (exe, 96 MB)

## Features

- Any codec supported by ffmpeg will be supported as an input video (mp4, m4v, avi, wmv, mov, flv, mpg, mpeg, gif)

- Most settings vidStab uses as input are exposed to the user

     *   accuracy  

     *   shakiness  

     *   smoothing  

     *   maxshift  

     *   maxangle  

     *   crop method  

     *   camera path  

     *   tripod mode

- The user has the option to select a portion of the input video and create a stabilized sample before committing to the entire video

## Issues

- By nature of any smoothing algorithm, often the frame will have to zoomed / cropped to produce a consistently smoothed video. As this is the case, a higher resolution video will give a better result

- When creating a sample clip, the progress bar only updates on 33%, 66% and 100%. If a long clip is selected or the client machine is slow, the user might think nothing is happening when it actually is.

- Occasionally ffmpeg will choke on a video input type, but since there is no error control built into this app, it will just stop responding

- When the smoothing settings are too agressive, vid.Stab will 1) over-crop a large portion of the video an/or 2) introduce edge artifacts in an attempt to interpolate video data

- If tripod mode is set to on, but the input video pans away from a subject, the result is that the edge pixels get smeared across the video and no further useful video will be displayed 

- Dramtically shaking videos that are heavily smoothed can have a *jello effect*, depending on the type of sensor used in shooting the footage 

## Development Environment

- you must first [install Node 12](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

- `git clone https://github.com/uotw/vidSmooth.git`

- `cd vidSmooth`

- `npm install`

- `npm start`
