Glad to hear Santa was especially good to you this year, dwlm!
Using the Stabilizer is really pretty automatic. It's located in your Effects, under the Stabilize category.
Once you've applied it to a clip your timeline,it will do a pretty good job at default settings. Naturally, it will work best if you're focused on an fairly stable subject, since it bases its settings on what it recognizes and then tries to keep center frame.
Otherwise, you can adjust your settings based on the amount of stabilization and amount of zoom. The more stabilization you apply, the closer the effect has to zoom into your picture -- so the lower the quality of the image.
Have you tried it yet? As I say, it's really pretty automatic. So give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.
