that's pretty awesome. I'm trying right now with the AE tracker and some kind of expression to make it more automatic.

anybody has an idea for that ??? it would be very very very useful.

One thing is sure, if you want steady panning, which means no up/down motion at all, with something shot handheld, then you have to scale up your picture. With HD video if you don't go beyond 110% it's not really noticable, even on a 23" screen. Then if your footage is perfectly steady in up/do...

Not sure if I understand your problem right, but I sometime do handheld pannings, and then stabilize it with AE. I just track something, then scale up the layer and keyframe its position, to make it move in a panning motion.... I've thought of adding some expressions, something that optimize the rat...
