Glacials Music Video



My directorial debut. A music video for "Sweet Tooth Pink Wrist" by the London based post-rock band, Glacials. http://glacials.co.uk/ I shot it with friends and did all the post work myself.

Batch Stabilize Footage

I had 240 video clips that I wanted to run stabilization on so I wrote this nifty script for After Effects that will take all your selected footage items, build comps for them, apply the warp stabilizer, and add them to the render queue. You have to then wait for the image stabilzation to process in the background for all the footage before it will render, which took an extremely long time with all the footage I was using.

At the top of the script there's a place to use a render settings template of your choice to apply to all of the comps in the render queue.

If you don't know how to install and run scripts in After Effects, read this.

One last word of caution. Running this script on 240 files crippled my machine and I ended up having to do it on chunks of 50 or so to keep things stable. It ate up all of the RAM and had trouble even just saving the file because of all the warp stabilizers.


UPDATE: I updated the file with Ryan McManimie's fix in the comments. I changed "Warp Stabilizer" to "Warp Stabilizer VFX".
