stabilze footage motion with Kodak Zi8 footage in fcp

To stabilize motion with Kodak Zi8 footage in fcp:

Drop footage into sequence

Export to quicktime movie (Format: Apple Pro Res 4:2:2 HQ 1920 x 1080 30p)

Re-import footage and make new sequence

Drop SmoothCam filter onto clip (from Video FiltersàVideo)

“Analyze footage” should now take way less time (e.g. 10 minutes instead of 10 hours)
