In today's smartphones, it is more or less standard to equip the device with any form of stabilization. The more premium smartphones and their cameras are optically stabilized (OIS), the middle-class models offer at least electronic stabilization (EIS).
However, when recording a video, you may not be completely satisfied with the resulting stabilization, or you may not have any stabilization. Therefore, in today's article, we will show you a useful quick tip on how you can use the Google Photos application to improve the quality of your video with electronic stabilization.
All you need are Google Photos
For fast, automatic, and relatively effective stabilization of your video, you need the only application you most likely have installed on your smartphone right now. This application is Google Photos, and if you don't have Google Photos installed on your device, you can download them from of this link.
After installing and opening the application, the only thing you have to do is click on the video you want to stabilize, then choose the option "Edit" and right away in the first section "Video" click on the icon of two frames. After this step, the video stabilization process will begin.
After finishing the stabilization, you can watch the video, or edit it additionally, and then don't forget to click on the button with the inscription "Export image". After successful export, your stabilized video will be saved in the gallery.
Check out our stabilization test through Google Photos
We tried this interesting feature in the Google Photos app in a short test. Below you can watch three videos: the first without electronic stabilization and without Google stabilization, the second without electronic stabilization and with Google stabilization, and the third, for comparison, with built-in electronic stabilization (without Google stabilization).
The videos were recorded in the evening on a smartphone POCO F3 (we were forced to use the 1080p / 60 FPS setting for the demonstration)
Google stabilization does a relatively good job, but as the smartphone moves faster, the image is slightly distorted in some places. So the test shows us: use built-in stabilization (EIS / OIS) primarily, and if you need to stabilize your post-production video in some way, you can reach for this feature.
