To mitigate this, whether you're using After Effects or Premiere there is a range of options to help you get the result you want.įirst of all, you can tell After Effects not to crop your image. While the Warp Stabilizer tools usually do a pretty good job, especially over shorter clips, one of the drawbacks of the stabilizing tools if they're run automatically is that they can crop into your footage quite drastically.
I usually start with the Warp Stabilizer. The quickest way to access the tracking tools is to go to Window>Workspace>Motion Tracking, where the tracking palette will appear. Of course magic tricks do not always work the way you want, and so After Effects has a range of options to help. Use the Motion Layout to access the tracking tools quickly, you can use the other options in the warp stabilizer to help refine your result
