Because analysis is only taking place within the defined track region area, the clip is
analyzed more quickly.

Unstabilize Workflow

This section provides a basic overview of using the Unstabilize tracking behavior to reapply
camera shake or movement into a finished clip.

The Unstabilize behavior’s sole function is to apply movement recorded by another
tracking behavior, such as Stabilize, to a clip or object. This allows you to match the
camera movement from a background clip to foreground elements, or unstabilize a
stabilized clip.

Note: A project must include a tracking behavior with recorded motion data in order to
use the Unstabilize behavior.

To use the Unstabilize behavior

1

Select the object you want to unstabilize, click the Add Behavior icon in the Toolbar, then
choose Motion Tracking > Unstabilize from the pop-up menu.

The behavior is added. If a Stabilize behavior (that has completed an analysis) is present
in the project, the Stabilize data is automatically applied to the Unstabilize.

If you don’t want to use the Stabilize behavior that is auto-selected, do one of the
following:

• In the HUD or Behaviors tab of the Inspector, choose a tracking behavior from the

pop-up menu to the right of the Source well.
