Looking to get Youtube-quality video stabilization from a software based video editing application (on mac) When I create edited films on iMovie and then export them to Youtube, Youtube's stabilization enhancement greatly increases the quality of many of my shakier action shots. Unfortunately, this same process ruins all of my titles and text overlaid on the screen.

Currently I am exporting the problem (shaky) scenes as single iMovies to youtube, stabilizing them, then downloading them and adding them back into my iMovie project as clips. This saves my text on the screen from being rendered illegible.

I am aware of iMovie's stabilization and have tried it, but haven't gotten even close to the enhancement in watchability of my shaky shots that Youtube's stabilization algorithm/method has given me.

I'm looking for some software that can give me the serious quality improvement that Youtube's can do, without having to use cloud services as a hack like I am now.
A coworker has just turned me on to using Warp Stabilizer. It's a built-in effect in Adobe Premiere CS6. Before using this tool, I also used After Effects to smooth and stabilize motion.

The difference is outstanding. Warp Stabilizer has worked faster, within my workflow, and more reliable than After Effects stabilization has. This has been huge for me. Here's a quick guide that outlines the effect: http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/premiere-pro-warp-stabilizer/

Another solution is Lock and Load. I've never used it, but I've heard it gets the job done. Might be worth looking into if you do not already own the Adobe Creative Suite. http://www.coremelt.com/products/lock-and-load-x.html
