Description

Don't feel like spending thousands of dollars on the latest Steadicam? Me neither.


Lucky for us, this course covers dozens of ways to record the smoothest video footage possible. We'll cover different ways to hold a camera and move a camera. I'll go over the best video camera settings to stabilize video content. I'll even help you select a camera and lens combo that will result in silky smooth video.


If you happen to own a Sony camera, we'll cover a software that analyzes the camera's gyroscopic metadata for an additional layer of stability. We will also cover another software that can be used with RED, Blackmagic, GoPro, DJI, and a handful of other camera brands.


We'll cover the post-production process to smooth footage in both Adobe Premiere and Blackmagic's Davinci Resolve.


We will even go over about a dozen different pieces of stabilization equipment like sliders and gimbals, but this course is really intended to make you feel confident in transforming your handheld footage into video that people will mistake for being steadicam footage.


So don't feel the need to rush out there and buy expensive stabilization gear. After 65 minutes of this course, you'll be completely equipped to use just your hands and a camera to create masterful, smooth footage.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to create smooth, professional video content
