Shaky videos are a common problem, but fortunately, there are apps that can help stabilize them and make them more enjoyable to watch. In this article, we will discuss two Android apps that you can use to stabilize shaky videos on your phone.
The first app is the free Google Photos app. To use this app, navigate to your video in the Google Photos app and tap on it to open it. Then, tap on the Settings icon at the bottom of the screen to make adjustments to your video and tap the word ‘stabilize’. Once the app has stabilized your video, you can review the results and save a copy if you’re happy with the outcome.
The second app for stabilizing video on Android devices is the PowerDirector app. Although it requires a one-time payment to remove the watermark it puts on edited videos in the free version, PowerDirector is a complete video editor for Android devices. To stabilize your video in PowerDirector, add your shaky video to the timeline, tap on your video clip in the timeline, and then tap the pencil icon to see a list of editing functions. Tap on ‘stabilize’, and PowerDirector will stabilize your video. After that, you can make adjustments to the level of stabilization that is applied by moving the motion level slider. If you’re happy with the results, you can save the video and share it in a variety of ways.
When it comes to video stabilization results, both apps do a great job. However, some distortions occur with Google Photos around the centre-right area of the top half of the video. In contrast, PowerDirector produces a great stabilized video with no distortions. Keep in mind that when doing video stabilization with any app, part of the video near the edges is cropped out, and the higher the settings you use, the more of the edge area will be cropped out.
In conclusion, if you want to stabilize shaky videos on your Android phone, Google Photos and PowerDirector are two excellent apps that you can use. Each has its pros and cons, so it’s up to you to decide which app works best for you.
