Lucky for us, this course covers dozens of ways to record the smoothest video footage possible. We’ll cover different ways to hold a camera and move a camera. I’ll go over the best video camera settings to stabilize video content. I’ll even help you select a camera and lens combo that will result in silky smooth video.

If you happen to own a Sony camera, we’ll cover a software that analyzes the camera’s gyroscopic metadata for an additional layer of stability. We will also cover another software that can be used with RED, Blackmagic, GoPro, DJI, and a handful of other camera brands.
