In between time-lapse videos of the drive, I added highlights of the main stops we made at state and national parks. Most of that video footage came from my smartphone, an LG G5.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/03WP-GY-47Y\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As you might expect, the hand-held videos were shaky &#8212; even with the phone&#8217;s internal stabilization feature. When I got home and started editing the clips, I noticed the stabilization option in Google Photos. I tried it out and was pleasantly surprised by the results.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/johntedesco.net\/blog\/2012\/06\/21\/how-to-solve-impossible-problems-daniel-russells-awesome-google-search-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to solve impossible problems: Daniel Russell\u2019s awesome Google search techniques<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>For each video you want to stabilize, you open the Google Photos app on your phone, tap on a video clip, and then tap on the &#8220;edit&#8221; option that looks like a pencil. You&#8217;ll see the &#8220;stabilize&#8221; feature at the bottom of the screen. Tap that, and you&#8217;ll have to wait a few moments, depending on the size of the video, for the app to stabilize your video.<\/p>\n<p>It magically transformed my shaky footage into videos that looked like they were shot with a tripod. The end result was a slightly cropped video that might have a bit of warping in the image, depending on how it was shot. But I didn&#8217;t notice much distortion in the footage I shot.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who spends a lot of time shooting video with their smartphones, such as journalists, this could be a handy tool that irons out annoying shakes and leaves mostly smooth, professional looking footage. Stabilize each clip, add it to your video-editing software, and you&#8217;re all set for your next news story or family adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google quietly unveiled a new video stabilization feature in its Google Photos app a few months ago and it&#8217;s amazing.
