Stabilisation

Mat was helping me try to stabilise the camera on my videos so that it didn't move around as much. This was a brilliant idea and I didn't know it was possible but unfortunately it didn't work with most of the clips. Here's what we did:
We opened the video in After effects
-drag the file onto the film strip to make a new composition
-make composition with footage
-double click the footage on bottom left
-find a starting point and click the mark in tool {
-take it to where you want it to end and click mark out }
- right click the composition window (bottom left)
-composition settings
-change the duration time to the length of the chosen clip
-go to the tracker window (bottom right or in tools) 
-select layer
-stabilise motion
-move tracking point to a fairly constant point on the image
-scale the outer square
- click analyse (right arrow) 
- go through each point making sure its correct and move it if you need to
- use page up and down buttons to move through frames
-click apply, x and y
-scale up the image so there are no borders
Then click play and see if it's better!

Unfortunately a lot of my clips shook so much that you had to scale up so much that you lost half the image or it still looked like everything shook at the end. This would have been a great idea and certainly something to remember for the future. I'm glad I learnt this.
