    ## Video stabilization using VidStab and FFMPEG

    Examples here use the default settings, see the [VidStab readme on GitHub](https://github.com/georgmartius/vid.stab) for more advanced instructions.

    #### Install ffmpeg with the vidstab plugin from homebrew

    ```
    brew install ffmpeg --with-libvidstab
    ```

    #### Analyze your video to create a `.trf` file

    This won't modify your video or create a new video, but it should create a new file called `transform.trf`

    ```
    ffmpeg -i clip.mov -vf vidstabdetect -f null -
    ```

    #### Use the `.trf` file to create a stabilized video

    ```
    ffmpeg -i clip.mov -vf vidstabtransform=smoothing=5:input="transforms.trf" clip-stabilized.mov
    ```

    This should create a new stabilized video called `clip-stabilized.mov`

    #### Bonus: create a side by side comparison video

    Found on a forum [here](http://ffmpeg-users.933282.n4.nabble.com/Merge-two-videos-into-one-with-side-by-side-composition-td4659527.html)

    ```
    ffmpeg -i Clip8.mov -i Clip8-vidstab.mov -filter_complex "[0:v:0]pad=iw*2:ih[bg]; [bg][1:v:0]overlay=w" merged.mov
    ```
