How to render a smooth timelapse from 30FPS video? So here's my problem: I make timelapses from my cycling rides and the results are extremely shaky because the software picks frames linearly and sometimes I turn the handlebar or tilt the bike slightly, and the view is completely different to what it was the previous frame. This makes the video rather annoying to watch

So, I was wondering if there are some smarter algos out there that can 'smooth out' timelapses -- not in the motion blur sense (I suppose you can just average out the frames) but in terms of picking the right frames based on the delta changes between significant objects.

If there's some alternative approach to this, I'd be interested, too.
I ain't sure if this will work but better than nothing!
Here two of my approaches to this problem:

Warp Stabilization
Software such as Mocha, AE and many others have Warp Stabilization. What is means is that it can automatically stabilize the clip based on the frames and it somewhat relates to Machine Learning approach to Big Data.

Converting to 24fps
You can open in in a video editor and manually delete clips based on your own human ability to judge by looking at the previous and next frame. As we know our eyes can think 24fps as a smooth video clip, you may try this manual fix technique by deleting at 3-5 frames per second of your video!


Giving an opinion based answer, I think warp stabilization would render quite great results.
