shake stabilizer

[Bubby Grub]

Hi All,
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I have a video that was taken with the camera on a tripod so there is no shaking with the camera,
but the problem lies within the video itself, it is only of hands holding certain papers and for a minute the person's hand shakes holding
a particular piece, is there anyway I can eliminate even a little of the shaking of the hands. I am guessing the stabilizer effect will not
work for that case scenario. Any thoughts appreciated Bubby

What about using speed curves to render a more pleasant sequence or interpolating with some other inspirations (wings, written words...).

interpolating with some other inspirations (wings, written words...).

Cutting to B-roll. Good idea.

Thanks, Peru.
As I didn't know the name of the technique I looked for and I found it on Wikipedia,
it seems to fit for similar cases:

"The cutaway to B-roll footage can also be used to hide verbal or physical tics that the editor and/or director finds distracting: Because the audio is separate from the video, the speaker's voice is heard as a voice-over while B-roll footage is shown. The filmmakers are thus free to excise "uh"s, sniffs, coughs, and so forth without the video showing the small skips associated with these minor excisions."

Dave Dugdale is very clear too:



I find energy-saving working on more timelines, overlapping clips without cutting them... I know it is taken for granted, but just to say that the "final cut" is never conclusive.
