Stabilization in FiLMiC Pro

Filmic Pro offers a range of stabilisation options under the Settings menu on both iOS and Android.

The following stabilization options are available on iOS:

• OFF
  When set to OFF, all forms of stabilization are disabled and no digital crop is applied to the frame. This is ideal for tripod use and delivers ultra-low preview latency.
• Standard
  Optical image stabilization (OIS) and Apple's 'standard' software stabilization (EIS) are both engaged concurrently for smooth results. This is ideal for handheld shooting. Minimal preview latency is introduced for a responsively smooth filming experience (approx. 4 frame latency).
• Cinematic
  - OIS and Apple's 'cinematic' software stabilization are enabled for extra smooth results. Ideal for handheld shooting and vlogging.
  -  WARNING: Cinematic IS introduces high preview latency of approximately 1 second!
  - This makes it less than ideal for fast paced shooting where you need a near-realtime preview. It is better suited to applications where you do not need to look at the live preview for example vlogging or mounted to a vehicle.
• Cinematic+
  - OIS and Apple's 'cinematic extended' software stabilization are enabled for extremely smooth results. Ideal for handheld shooting and vlogging.
  - WARNING: Introduces extreme preview latency of approximately 2.5 seconds!!! 
  - This makes it unsuitable for fast paced shooting where you need a near-realtime preview. It is better suited to applications where you do not need to look at the live preview for example vlogging or mounted to a vehicle.

The following stabilization options are available on Android (device specific):

• OFF
  All forms of stabilization are disabled and no digital crop is applied to the frame. This is ideal for tripod use.
• OIS
  Optical image stabilization (OIS) is enabled. No additional software stabilization (EIS) occurs. This delivers smooth natural results ideal for handheld filming.
• EIS
  Electronic software stabilization (EIS) is enabled. Optical image stabilization is disabled. Offers high levels of stabilization but can introduce digital warping.
• OIS + EIS
  Both optical (OIS) and software based image stabilization (EIS) are enabled.

• Use Latency Free Preview when real time preview is more important than live analytics or the ability to preview your chosen film look or gamma curve.
