Hyperlapse stabilization tutorial (when warp stabilizer fails)
How to stabilize a hyperlapse in Adobe After Effect CS6 when warp stabilizer fails. When stabilizing hyperlapses, warp stabilizer is the go-to tool. But it’s a fully automated tool and sometimes it just doesn’t work. This is what to do when warp stabilizer fails to create a smooth hyperlapse.

This is a pretty basic hyperlapse stabilization process. If you don’t have tracking points available in every frame, you’ll need to use multiple trackers and link them together. I also put together an advanced tutorial to show you how to do that here: http://youtu.be/fFjEiVa29_U
