This is the best video for Catalyst Browser. I already watched tons of catalyst guide videos, but I threw away lots of my jittery footages. Now I finally knew how to use it. Thank you so much!
Oh no, I'm sorry you've lost some of your good shots. I'm so glad to hear this tutorial will help you make more use of the shakey shots in the future. Thanks for watching.
just a quick question, you have to turn off the IBIS on camera and OSS of lens, to record the gyro meta data? if you turn on the IBIS active/standard, will the gyrodata still be recorded? plan to buy camera: sony zve10
Great video....not clear why shoot at high shutter speed? Seems to fly at the universal recommendation to shoot 24 fps at 50, 30 at 60 etc? I am novice, but thought fast shutter speeds result in jerky movement. And much of your footage may not need stabilization and you'd be stuck with the fast shutter?
Hi! The stabilize option is grayed out on every video I made. That's because stabilization in camera was enabled? Anyway, thanks for your great video, good job!
Finally, someone who actually understands why to NOT to use a 180° shutter. Literally this principle applies to all forms of electronic stabilisation but all the sheep on UA-cam just keep repeating “24 fps 180 shutter”.
Great video man! I have a question. My footage is not capturing any motion data. I've disabled my camera's self stabilizer and the motion data is still not showing up. Also, I'm using a Sony A7iii.
You cannot color grade then stabilize in Catalyst as of yet. At least, it's not possible because the containers you export don't contain metadata tracks. What you can use that is free is Gyroflow. It a bit more complicated but if you study it a little, it's not as bad. It's far more flexible than Catalyst.
Great video! Catalyst Browse is a game changer, just hoping for a plug-in for NLEs soon. I've gotten good results using pixel motion blur in After Effects to add motion blur and the Flicker Free plug-in to handle flicker from higher shutter speeds indoors.
Thanks Arnis, yeah it would be pretty great if this was available as a plugin - even if it was just for getting the metadata in the NLE's. I can definitely vouch for that digital anarchy flicker free plug-in - that has save many shoots for my teams. Thanks so much for watching!
It's so rare for me to search for a resource and have a tutorial posted the exact same day that solves my problem! This process was so much simpler than I expected. I had put off dealing w/ catalyst browse for weeks. Thanks brother!
Wow, that's awesome! That's cool that the algorithm came through today - And yep very simple process indeed, it just takes a little bit of planning to know if you'll want to shoot to get the best results (shutter speed, ibis off, etc...)
Thats a good question. I don't have any like that to test with though. I think there is a setting that you can tell the camera what focal length you're using so maybe this is possible if the camera understands the focal length? I'm very curious now.
So if I know already this will be a shaky shoot an I shoot with IBIS or Active Stabilizer that crops in on top so that we get the mobile phone experience I receive a native 4K File. So I don't really see the use case. Just if I forgot to turn it on. I would be nice to have this meta data also in stabilized shoot just in case it was not enough.
No unfortunately, that camera doesn’t create the gyro metadata necessary. It’s still useful software to read color and camera recording settings though.
Super Sad: Not working on vintage lenses via e-mount adapter (m42-e). Already tried all camera settings and on Catalyst the desired icon doesn't appear.
Thanks for the great video! I'm having issues stabilizing clips on Catalyst Browse that are 30 mins long, keeps saying error file. I'm shooting with a Sony FX3 30fps 4k 10bit XAVC-S stabilize off. Using a MacBook Air M1 chip 16gb. Do you know why its giving me errors? Is 30 mins too long to stabilize? Any settings you could prefer would be great. Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to watch and learn. I honestly can't say I've tried to stabilize a clip that long yet. First make sure you're on the latest version, which i bet you are. You have great hardware. Next what I'd do, as long as you don't need to full 30 minute take continuously, I would break it into 3, 10 minute clips with in and out markers in Catalyst to see if that helps. Please let me know if it does or doesn't. I'm very curious now.
Concerning the 8-bit Dilemma of the free Version. You mentioned one might want to colorgade first, then stabilize the Footage after. Is there a way to keep the Gyro-Metadata while exporting a graded clip from davinci or premiere pro?
I now suggest using xavc intra. This is a free 10 bit good quality codec. Then color after stabilizing. I don’t think you can actually color it first and keep the metadata. My bad.
I bought the A7S3 yesterday. I have much to learn. I notice the camera has several slots for picture profiles. Can you recommend anyplace to find good picture profiles?
what is your solution / workflow if you have to stabilize more than just a couple of clips as there is no batch processing neither in browse not really in catalyst prepare
Good video 👍🏻 I have the fx6 and use catalyst browse since the beginning 👌 but I have one problem with it. Is it possible to stabilize more clips in one workflow? I stabilize one clip, then I must close catalyst, then restarting catalyst and stabilize the next clip 🤔 That’s a bit annoying 🥴 is there another more effective solution? Best cinematic greetings from a little german YT filmmaker
Hey thanks so much. It's so cool to know we can connect from Colorado all the way to Germany. I love that. Anyway you bring up a great point and I insight I should've mentioned in this video. Batch stabilizing clips is not an option in Catalyst currently. I really hope they release an update that allows for this especially since the software can batch transcode with the same settings applied already. For now it's a one at a time kind of deal. I personally only use it on a few shots per project so it hasn't been too bad, but I can certainly understand a use to batch an entire card at once. Let's hope they offered a solution or even better a resolve or final cut plugin in the future. Cheers!
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks a lot 🙏 my english is not so good, but now i understand 100 % 👌 my workflow is slowly but correct 😂 best greetings to Colorado
Where is the metadata stored? In the MP4 or the XML? The reason I ask is because I get the stabilize icon in Catalyst even though I didn’t copy the XML to my drive.
Thanks for the video. I haven't use this software yet but I'm just wondering... if you wanted to keep all of your video footage would you have to stabilise the entire video or can you just stabilise the part within the markers, and then have that fit within the remaining unstabilised footage?
when you export the stabilized footage, does catalyst browse change the date and time of "date created" and "date modified" meta data of the file? (when editing vlogs with different devices, I like to browse through my clips in sequential order and sometimes I like to know the exact times)
Hi George, I think that camera is not supported. If I remember right it's kind of like the a7iii which was prior to Sony including this hardware inside the camera. Sorry to bring bad news.
hello I use a graphics card NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB, I m shooting with a FX30 Sony XAVC S 4K, 25p 1/200 , When I Throw stabilisation in Catalyst Browse free, the graphics card is at 90 and 100%, It ends up crashing, the processor of my motherboard works very well (Intel I7 6850K CPU 3.60GHZ ) Do I have to change graphics card where there is something else, Thank you for your reply
It should. The gyro data comes from the camera, not the lens and the 7siii supports it so follow the tips on this video and you should be set! Thanks for watching.
@@CreativeVideoTips ok so I went and tested it. On my fx6 with the stabilization on, it doesn’t give me the option in catalyst. Additionally if you for some reason turned on stabilization midway through your shot the option will not show up either 😃
Hi there - yes it's suggested to turn off in camera ibis, steadyshot when shooting video specifically for stabilizing in post with catalyst browse. If you know you won't use catalyst browse, then for sure yes, shoot with it on.
THANK YOU! Question though, if it's cropping in on a 4k clip, and then exporting a 4k file, are you not losing quality? Can you notice any pixelization in the output from Catalyst?
Hi Dustin - the technical, correct answer is yes - you are losing quality. However, you can adjust how much of that quality you are losing by how much you crop in. Another good thing to remember is that people will always react more to really bad shaky footage, then slightly softer footage (in most cases). I'd say, use it to taste and you're good.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you for posting the video. Straightforward and very helpful. Piggy-backing off Dustin's question - for cameras that oversample (i.e. I believe the ZV-E10's recorded 4K is oversampled 6K equivalent) - would this offset the loss of quality when cropping? As well, does Clear Image Zoom affect Catalyst Browse's ability to stabilize?
Is there any method for Catalyst Browse/Prepare to process stabilization in a batch? Stabilizing clips one by one is a disastor when handling a big project with thousand clips.
I "think" this is a feature of the paid catalyst prepare software. It's not possible with browse. Version 2021.1 added it - it looks like www.sonycreativesoftware.com/webhelp/catalystprepare/enu/Content/Home_Prepare.htm I haven't tested it. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video ! 4:2:2 10 bits should be possible with the Catalyst PREPARE version, did you manage to export in 4:2:2 10 bits ? I have 4K, XAVC S, 4:2:2 10bit, 50p, 200 Mbps rushes coming form an A1 but when exporting from Prepare (with the demo version) I can only get 4:2:0 8 bits 156Mbps. Any idea ?
@@CreativeVideoTips Yes, I've come to that same conclusion. Its frustrating how poorly documented Sony software is. Its even more frustrating in light of how good their hardware is.
You can export in 10 bit with XAVC Intra but only small downside is the files are like 3X as big as original one, depending on which render preset you choose.
I completely agree. You can still use active in body sensor stabilization with manual lenses though. You just need to set that in the menu for the focal length.
@@CreativeVideoTips i actually managed to get it working using a fotodiox adapter that sends metadata to the body, but the adapter is chonky and doesnt fit the cages i have
Hi, i have a sony a7 iii with FE2470GM, i use an sd card u3 V60, i register 4k resolution with XAVC S but the selectable bitrate is no more than 100MBit. The color sampling is YCbCr 4:2:0 8bit (I can not find how to register in 10bit). But the main problem is that Catalyst Browse can not find the gyro data on the clip. Can someone help me?
when I stabilize my clips, there is this weird distortion appearing which weren't in the original clip. I cranked up the shutter and disabled ibis, still this is happening
@@Normence i think it has something to do with the lens stability settings? I dont have my camera with me rn, but putting the lens adjustsment setting to manual worked out
@@amapro2020 I do suspect that, but I am using the Sony 35mm 1.8, which I checked doesn’t seem to have any in lens stabilization. But thanks and glad that that worked out for you.
I just watn to know. Thisis my experiance from a movie shoot. I stbilized some clips, PS ! this was before the update of program ( C. B ) I suddenly got some banding in the skies. I thiw C. B downgraded the footage to 8-bit. Manybe they fixed thi in the upgrade ? I aldo just want to emphasize that; After the upgrade, we now can use C.B , even after shooting with OSS, set to ON. That was snot possible in early version. So , f.eks, if you shott with a 24-105, you should definitely have the OSS , ON, and not turn in off. ptical stab. will alway be a better option, the best avtually. Adn then apply some C. B. I did a test last night. I shott a whole movie with SONY fx9 , and I tested the camera thoroughly, and found that the stabilizer in D. R was better. than C. B. ..............BUT ! last night, with the SONY a7 IV ( actually a better camera, in many ways than fx9. the gyro stab, from C. B, was much better !. The D. R coudl not handle it. On my Pana s1H clips the D. Rstabillizer also works fine .........just som thought there. And !! NB. I f you shoot in Xavs S-I, you should be aware, when you trancode and save the stabilized footage. Becasue on default, ( even if you set it to " same as original", it saves as XAVC S.....only 100( bitrate)

B. ..............BUT ! last night, with the SONY a7 IV ( actually a better camera, in many ways than fx9. the gyro stab, from C. B, was much better !. The D. R coudl not handle it. On my Pana s1H clips the D. Rstabillizer also works fine .........just som thought there. And !! NB. I f you shoot in Xavs S-I, you should be aware, when you trancode and save the stabilized footage. Becasue on default, ( even if you set it to " same as original", it saves as XAVC S.....only 100( bitrate)
Is it definately confirmed that you Catalyst Browse will only spit 8bit out?
No! Just checked, atleast my FX9 Slog3 clips come in 422 10bit. Just like they were shot.
@@MuwexTech thanks a lot! It would be very weird if it did that!
The problem with this is that it compresses your video before you could color grade it
Ok, i can decide to use OSS and IBIS WITHOUT cropping my footage ore using Catalyst Browse and Crop my Footage. Seems legit😂😂😂😂
does catalyst browse add motion blur back to simulate 1/50?
I sure wish it could do that, but I'm not aware of it having that capability
@@CreativeVideoTips In Resolve we can add it, but I don't know if it is worth it
