How to eliminate breathing motion in the video?
I needed to get an extended video clip of a still scene, a few minutes long, while keeping my hands free, and I couldn’t use a tripod. I had the phone on a chest harness, zoomed in. The phone‘s OIS did a decent job keeping stable, I used the video editing software for further stability. Everything looks great, except the video looks like I’m on LSD with the scene “breathing”, or described differently on a boat in calm waters. The scene/subject was gently expanding and contracting with my own breathing, so the video editor at max setting wasn’t correcting the motion since it was gentle motion. It’s a bit nauseating for some viewers.
I wonder if auto-framing/focus reframing apps, or whatever term they use to keep the subject centered (like those social media clips of people’s face centered while everything in the background moves) will fix this?
The subject can stay relatively the same size and still as that’s what people will be focused on, so I think the background “breathing” wouldn’t be very noticeable.
Any technique suggestions or app recommendations to fix this? Non-professional work, casual YouTube video.
Thank you
