Which is better for stabilization? Sony's Catalyst Browse vs Davinci Resolve
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Today, we're taking a look at Sony's Catalyst Browse software, and comparing it to Davinci Resolve's built-in stabilization feature. I've already gone over Resolve's stabilization before [link below], so I won't be talking about it in-depth here. I'll show you the pros and cons of using it, and how to use it. I hope this helps!

![FAQ: How to Use Gyro Stabilization for Perfectly Stabilized Video Footage [Gyroflow Free Plugin]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EzbjMGh89-o/mqdefault.jpg)
Sorry to bother you with a kind of off-topic question but when you get your video footage ready to edit in your software, do you first download it on your hard drive on the computer or do you edit straight from an external hard drive. I didn’t know if One would put less stress on the computer and help stop a little bit of my lagging issues? No worries if you don’t have time for this question, just thought I would throw it out there.
No worries, man! I keep all my footage on external drives, leaving the internal drive for just the operating system and programs. I think it makes it easier on the computer, but have no proof of this.
As long as you're using SSDs instead of HDDs, editing will be much easier and smoother.
Tyvm. Samsung ssd. 😊
@@MotoBaumVirginia Then you're good to go!
Very cool editing tricks.
Thanks! And the software is free, so that's a bonus!
Catalyst Has Been The winner for me & I've tried both
That's great - does the slowness of rendering the videos affect your workflow much?
@@RoadReality The Rendering isn't slow at all for me I guess bcoz run all SSD's both internal & external Samsung SSD's..
Catalyst Renders for me under 60 secs.
@@JayfkProductions876 That's wild! I too, have SSDs for everything, and it took so long for what, a 3 or 5-minute clip?
@@RoadReality What kinda SSD'S tho as they're not all made the same, in my experience TLC (Triple Layer SSD's) have been best..
I use Samsung Evo 970's for Internal & Samsung T7's..
I would prefer to have Sabrent Rocket Bunnies or Solidigm's
@@JayfkProductions876 Yeah, could be mine aren't the best... they're Sandisk Extreme Pro 1TB disks.
You have the coffee shakes when filming. 😂👍👍
I have no doubt that I do! :D
Thanks for sharing this.
I think overall Catalyst can do a better job as it uses gyro data unlike Davinci.
Apart from processing time the problem with free version of Catalyst Browse is you cant export to 10bit.
It would be interesting to see Catalyst vs Gyroflow, which can do a better job?
But again for Gyroflow probably we need to turn off all stablization like IBIS, AS, OSS etc.
Hmm, I might have to look into Gyroflow... but if it's slow like Catalyst, that's a no-go for me. I don't have that kind of time, LOL.
@@RoadReality As far as I know it's not slow compared to Catalyst. Will try that out this week with gyro data and 10 bit footage. It seems difficult to pick and stick to one, as each one carries it's own pros and cons as I mentioned in my comments.
Davince is making magic again. Catalyst takes a insane long time to correct the clip.
I have some footage that will need this, I will try your Devinci settings and report back - JB out!!
Nice! I hope it works for you - if not, check out my video on Davinci Resolve Stabilization - I show all the differences between the modes. Or, just reach out and ask questions :D
The problem with Catalyst - including the paid versions - is that there is no 8K export.
Interesting... I hadn't even noticed that limitation - thanks!
I would pay for a Catalyst plugin in for Davinci. Currentyl using Catalyst Browse to roundtrip is just cumbersome.
Agreed! It would be awesome if you could do it in Resolve!
Is it possible to use this stabilization feature in the free verion of this SW?
Yes, Resolve's free version has this stabilization built-in.
Catalyst Browse does take some processing power. Great comparison.!
Thanks, Jerry! :D I still find it odd that it'll play back smoothly with stabe, but rendering the videos out takes forever!
Maybe the stable slows it down?
@@MinnowMoto See, that's the funny thing. I would think if playback was smooth, it would be able to save the file just as fast - it's all on SSDs, and I can render video out of Resolve at well over 30fps, so it should be faster than realtime, not way slower. It's already figured out the stabe and zoom, so it should just be a matter of writing the frames to disk.
@@RoadReality catalyst uses same encode setting as camera to minimize data loss , as far as stabilization goes it is as fast as resolve , if you stabilize in resolve then render it out you will get same delay . Sony has a plug in for Premeier Pro dk when they gonna make for resolve or you can even use GYROFlOW which also uses cameras gyro to stabilize footage its free as well
@@yedaoctopus114 When I render in Resolve, there's no delay because of stabilization, so I'm not sure what you're referring to... but I'll look at Gyroflow, thanks!
Sony catalyst is by far the superior cuz it uses data from gyro and accelerometer. Then there ProDad mercalli hands down the best
Thanks, I'll look into that!
i have de free version and the option for stabilize is grey :( i have the 7c sony
That's interesting - I thought stabilization was built into the free version of Resolve?
@@RoadReality I read the steadyshot needs to be deactivated in order to record data
@@espadasmoran Maybe on the 7c, but not on the ZV-1. I guess Sony changed things up.
CB seems to have done a better job
It does, slightly, in some circumstances... but oh man, that render time, ugh.
Thanks for watching and giving your feedback!
@@RoadReality no worries I’ve actually used both. The thing I like though about CB is the fact that it reads the lens data and uses that to make it’s adjustments. I am not sure how DR does it. I’m guessing it just crops it and applies like some kind of algorithm 🤷🏽♂️ CB just looks less “fake” if that makes sense
@@RealPivotTV Yep - you nailed it! Resolve uses the image itself and then zooms to crop off the rotations it applies. CB does the zoom and applies as much stabe as it can to not have any black spots, but it only does 2 of the 3 X/Y/Z adjustments, AFAIK.
Catalyst is a great program but slow like you demonstrated.
Yeah, it's weird. I expected better.
SCIENCE!
PRECISELY! I'm always looking at new avenues to increase production quality without spending a TON on gear... just a 1/2 ton ;)
👍👍👍🇺🇸🫡🥃🥃👋
