Anti-shake filter compatability

Hi

Does anyone know if its possible to install the anti-shake video filter in MSP7? I assume it exists as a vft. Can the antishake vft be copied from the MSP8 vft folder into the MSP7 vft filter folder? I know that transitions work like this but am not sure about video filters.

I've not yet moved to MSP8 but could really do with this filter in MSP7. I don't want to upgrade 'mid-project' as I know a few people have complained about compatability and have regretted upgrading mid-project.

Hope someone can advise or perhaps if someone has both installations (MSP7 and MSP8) they could test to see if it works.

Many Thanks
Dean

I believe not. In any case SteadyHand is far better

See herefor a demo of the best I was able to obtain with different types. Also a VERY difficult one here (unlabelled, same order as the first one). A third one with an extra candidate here.

Hi Devil

Thanks for the info. SteadyHand does look good compared to the others.

Does this work as a plug-in or is it separate software?

Obviously the appealing aspect of MSP8 anti-shake function is that its free (standard with that edition). That's why I wondered if it could be tested on MSP7. Are filters usually transferable? I know that transitions are.

Is SteadyHand available for free?

I probably only need to use it once and am not sure if it justifies a purchase.

Thanks again.
Dean

I was using SteadyHand for 3 years. After my first 16:9 Clips with my new Camera, I found out a big disadvantage of SteadyHand. After handling such a clip with SteadyHand, the clip has 4:3 format.

Are you using the Main Concept DV codec? If you are (and you should be) all you need to do is go into the codec properties and change the aspect ratio to 16:9 before you do a 16:9 render. That will fix your problem.

Sorry for answering late, but we were outside.

Yes I'm using MC Codec. You are meaning to change the aspect ratio in MSP? I've done it so, but nevertheless I think it's a bug in steadyhand. Dynapel said that steadyhand will no more be supported, so this bug will not be fixed.
