Incorrect 16mm setup. The overlay is not
aligned to the edge of the perforation. With
the 16mm HDR skid plate installed, the
stabilizer aligns automatically to the other side
of the perforation to avoid interfering with the
film image and improve horizontal stability.
When using a 'non-HDR' 16mm skid plate,
it functions the same as the 35mm skid plate.
Incorrect 8mm setup. The overlay is not
aligned to the edge of the perforation.
To closely check the results of your stabilization settings before capturing, set the viewer to full
resolution and zoom into the perforation region to allow fine adjustment. Simply click on the
options settings at the top right corner of the viewer and select 'full resolution preview' from the
menu, click on the zoom scalar at the top left hand corner of the viewer and select '100%'. This
setting does not affect the stabilization feature, but enables the best possible preview so you
can monitor how well it is performing.
Full resolution preview is very GPU intensive and may result in some frame lag. For best
performance, turn full resolution off after checking stabilization. It is worth mentioning that the
overlay position will be saved within the project settings and not the clip settings, therefore may
require individual adjustment for multiple rolls.
Resetting the detection overlay to its default position for a given film type can be achieved via
the stabilization pane reset button.
Audio and Synchronization
The 'audio and synchronization' palette contains settings for the optional Cintel Audio and
KeyKode Reader. Refer to the 'optional Audio and KeyKode Reader' section of this manual for
more information.
Correct 16mm setup. For the stabilization
overlay, the default alignment position is for
the left edge of the perforation as this is not
affected by image content. The transparent
stripe in the stabilization overlay touches
the edge of the perforation correctly.
Correct 8mm setup. For the stabilization overlay, the
default alignment position is for the left edge of the
perforation as this is not affected by image content.
The transparent stripe in the stabilization overlay
touches the edge of the perforation correctly.
