Are there any plans to add this kind of tech to cameras? I know they already use optical image stabilization but wonder if the benefit would be additive.

These seem jittery on a MBPr with 16GB of RAM. What gives?
Perfectly smooth playback on my 6 year old C2D/4GB RAM (Win8.1 x64)

#103I often shoot little snippets (cheeky bit of stock footage for behind credits etc) and usually have to use stabilization in post to make it usable
$1.99? The mere possibility of it working at a later date is worth more than $1.99. I'll give it a test run later on for sure but you guys should re-evaluate that price, if it works well you've way under-priced yourselves

There is a good comparison video here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mt286dTNFg
The stabilized video looks fuzzier. There's a definite lack of crispness that the unsteady video has.
Could that just be noticeable because they're side by side though?

You're right that it might not be noticeable if they're not side by side. But it's still fuzzier. Maybe it makes a difference for your application and maybe not.
Re: Show HN: Steady – Shoot Cinematic Videos
#106Hey, great job here! Two questions: 1) Is it at all feasible to do the stabilisation on the fly so that the screen shows already-stabilised video (if not then why)? 2) Do you envisage building an API so that a third-party app can use your technology?
Hey Ivanlubenko,
On the fly stabilization is not really an option, as smoothing is done by averaging movement from the past and future, up to 5s on both sides.
The API thing might be a good idea, shoot an email at steady@stupeflix.com!

Quick aside to tell that this comparison video was generated a long time ago, when stabilized video were saved at a lower resolution. Since then, we've increased the output resolution and fixed some color correction issues.

Do you still have available space on your phone ? Anyway, send us the crash reports, we'll look into this !
It just throws me out to the home screen, is there somewhere else I need to look for crash reports? I have plenty of space, it crashes after about 1 seconds of processing the movie.
Damn. We'll look into that. Thanks for the feedback. IN the meantime, try rebooting your phone and quitting all active app. This might be an available memory issue.

#109Looking at the landing page on my iPhone and all I see is a bit of copy and a still image of a forest. Based on the comments in this thread the app seems worth downloading but not so much based just on the landing page. Are other people seeing video on the landing page when viewing on the iPhone?

It's interesting that you can still see the jitter in the second to last video, through the lens flare. The motion stabilization pans the image around, but the lens flare bobs around and can't be fixed.
