Really interesting use of technology. Didn't read anywhere regarding the resolution after processing. They state for best performance shoot 4K video in wide mode, but that's it... I'm assuming 1080.

The reality is that this could be done, with a little effort, with the information provided by Solo...I presume. If that would be the case, then the GP could process on the fly...with Solo's data stream.

Awesome! I wonder if this would eliminate the need for a gimbal on Solo?

we can already do this in post. you just need to spend a little more time for the tracking. and yes you lose some resolution in the process based on how aggressive the footage is. i'm always skeptical about kickstarter projects since they almost always over-promise

I'm assuming that they do since it supports all GoPro's

It would be great to use this WITH the gimbal but there's no room for it.
Gimbal is still your sure fire best bet for smoother video.
Kickstarter can be... well.... troubling at times.

I've noticed in a quick test that in fcpx the smoothcam has an additional rarely used mode called inertia cam . I tried it on one clip and it was amazing, a bunch of others. Terrible. Looks like it works really well on fairly stable footage that just needs like a lens stabilization quicksand type help. Don't have a gimbal yet, but thinking it will work wonders on gimbal footage that needs a little more

What program are you using to do this?

i've been doing it with sony vegas pro. it has a stabilizing plugin already built in and its automated. not sure about premiere but i know for sure you can do it in after effects too

and this one is a pretty extreme example of when we started using it in 2011.
