Deshaker is a free VirtualDub plugin to stabilize video. This video free stabilization tool is available for both Windows 32-bit, and 64-bit versions. Load a video on VirtualDub to initialize video stabilization. Once the video is opened, go to Video tab, and click on Filters. Easy Shaky Video Fixer eliminates camera shakiness and makes video smoother. This software aims to generate smoother videos that look like they were filmed using either a camera stander or a very steady hand. Deshaker is the best possible solution for steady pictures. Deshaker is capable of evening out unwanted movements in your footage. The program's special feature is the ability to fill out the edges that are created by other similar programs, resulting from the processing. This makes the often used 'zoom in' technique redundant. One VirtualDub filter, Deshaker, is the best image stabilization software I have encountered. VirtualDub is supplied with a number of filters by default, but Deshaker is an add-on. You get it from the Deshaker Web page (at and install it in the VirtualDub folder on your computer.
A simple to use video editing tool that eliminates camera shakiness and makes panning, rotation and zooming smoother with minimum effort
What's new in Deshaker 3.1:
- The process to calculate the smooth motion at the beginning of pass 2 (when it says 'Deshaking...') now runs faster in many cases. The detected scenes are now processed individually and in parallel, and Adaptive zoom full is faster even if you just have a single scene.
- Adaptive zoom full now often manages to zoom in slightly less than before.
- You can now set a mask color that will make pass 1 ignore the masked area, and make pass 2 fill the area in the same way borders are filled. Read more under the 'Use color mask' setting above.
- Soft borders are now enabled by default if Previous and future frames to fill in borders is enabled (because it generally looks better).
Deshaker is a lightweight plugin designed for VirtualDub that allows you to remove camera shake as well as improve panning, rotation and zooming.
The plugin can be installed by simply copying it into the plugins folder of the video editing application. After a quick restart, the plugin can be found in the filters section. It runs on a simple process that is more or less effective, by identifying the rotation, zoom and pan of a current image and applying changes in order to make it similar to the previous one, which is done by matching blocks of pixels.
Deshaker displays all its options in one big window, making everything easy to access. The plugin works with two passes in order to simulate the optimal camera motion and allows you to select the source pixel aspect that affects both of them. You can choose between square pixels, standard PAL and NTSC, anamorphic, SVCD and HDV.
The passes contain parameters for image matching such as block size, scale, used pixels, initial search range of the image size, differential search range and others. It’s possible to discard motion for blocks that have specific characteristics which you get to define, as well as ignore pixels from any of the four borders.
The plugin can also help you deal with the effects of rolling shutter. It’s able to take the video from a wide range of cameras and attempt to correct the inconsistency between the frames. Deshaker comes with a feature that allows it to remember discarded areas to the next frame which means that it will ignore areas that are similar from one frame to the other.
Deshaker Stabilization
Deshaker is able to correct camera shake but at a cost. Using it with an interlaced video, the result will look softer compared to a progressive one as the plugin individually resamples the interlaced video fields.
To sum things up, Deshaker is a plugin that you can certainly and easily use to correct video material but it does take a decent amount of know-how to use it properly.
