Frequently asked questions

Q:    How do I purchase the ReelSteady for After Effects product?

Q:    The plugin is only working on OSX with older versions of After Effects?  Why is this?

A:    ReelSteady for After Effects is compatible with OSX for CC 2017 and earlier until further notice.  This is due to a major bug that Adobe has yet to patch in the latest CC versions.  Currently it works in CS6, CC, CC 2014, CC 2015 and CC 2017 on Mac only. 

Q:    Can I return ReelSteady if I don't like it?

A:    Currently ReelSteady is exclusively a plugin for Adobe After Effects. 

Q:    Are there any kinds of shots ReelSteady can't handle?

A:    ReelSteady works best when there are non-moving features in your scene.  The camera can be moving all over the place, but you don't want the things in your scene to be moving.  If your shot contains little or none of these features ReelSteady may not produce favorable results.

Q:    I ran ReelSteady and my shot is zoomed in by a large amount.  How do I fix this?

A:    ReelSteady currently works on fixed focal length shots only.

Q:    Do I need to remove the fisheye distortion from fisheye lens footage before stabilizing?
