• Is there video stabilizing freeware that is easy to use?

    I'm watching Black Sea drone boat footage of the sinking of the Russian
    fully loaded project 775 Caesar Kunikov landing landing ship (ironically
    named for a Russian Admiral who died on this day 81 years ago).

    For reasons of the waves, it's all jumpy like lots of drone footage. https://youtu.be/vZB7nn6rjEQ

    To forestall an epileptic fit from watching such jumpy bouncy footage day
    in and day out, is there a simple program that I can paste the video MP4
    file into that will pick a point in the image and move the crop around
    such that the chosen point stays in one place such that it's watchable?

    Based on a short sampling of the content, and the wide
    wide deviation from "norm", the best you can do with
    that content is make a slide show of it. Select all the
    frames that roughly point in a consistent direction,
    do a slide-show fade between frames.

    Video stabilization might work best for tiny jiggles,
    where the amplitude is a percentage of the width or height
    of the picture.
