Stabilising an animated gif

[Coastliner]

Hi All,

Below is a gif I made of the eclipse, 60-odd photos. Does anyone know how I can stabilise it?

Hi Martin,

I've tried PIPP, it produces an extremely short unstabilised AVI. I've probably got the settings wrong - I'll have another play!

Thanks,

Neil.

Also, have a look at this thread

I've also tried the PIPP method but it still wobbles...

It's hard work.

We need a specific algorithm for partial eclipses haha

Thanks for the link David. I've since found that if you upload the pics to google+ photos it makes a reasonable attempt at stabilising, by applying their Auto Awesome algorithm.

It's missed out a few frames though, so I need to learn how to control it.

Send me the AVI file and I will run it through pip for you and stabilise it

Or send the gif it will still probably work and file will be a lot smaller

That's jolly decent of you AB, I will pm the gif now.

I also had problems with PIPP because it is looking for a whole, or stable partial disk (if you select the lunar shadow option), to centre but because the shape changes all the way through the transition it struggles. It was a bit more stable choosing the lunar shadow (top) option.
