In this After Effects tutorial you learn how to stabilize a clip with a shaky camera movement. For this, we first track the clip with the After Effects CC mask tracker and then use MaskTracker+ to stabilize the clip based on the track. You also learn how to fine-tune the stabilization and how to get rid of the transparent borders in different ways.
