 Jacques Crafford has a Youtube channel and is a Sony Ambassador, not everyone who has a youtube channel is an expert in video, but I trust Sony Ambassadors expertise.

Warp Stabilizer Tutorial, Sometimes It Be Like That.

In Effects 

    >warp stabilizer


@2:20 - under Advanced settings - check fast analysis

-He recommends only apply to part of the clip which needs warp stablizer

-Stablization >result     >smooth motion


@3:44

>Stablization    >smoothness   >50% (can adjust)

This smoothness setting is going to make the biggest difference in quality of the stabilization that you are getting from warp stabilizer. 

Please do not leave it at 50%

---If it looks  jello/ wobbly, this smoothness setting why

Simple rules for how he changes his smoothness settings-

-First off, 50% is way too high - it introduces 'jello'

    -The maximum I would set my warp stabilizer to is 20%

@5:17

Go to Warp Stabilizer in Effect Controls >right click

        >save as preset, then the next time go to >Effect Panel    >Presets

                    >click and drag it over to my clip

-20% usually looks great on gimbal shots

-If it looks weird w a bit of jello in shots or areas, drop 20% lower

        >He recommends taking it down to  5%

He recommend saving that preset as well

If it still doesn't look natural, he recommends going to 1%

-The most common amount of warp stabilizer is 1%

He has a 3 presets saved - 20%, 5% & 1% , he just drags them into the clips 

90% of the time, he's just grabbing one of these 3 presets


Under Warp Stabilizer -
     Keep at 1% before adjusting the other settings
-Click the advanced drop down menu
    >Crop less <> Smooth more    bring this to 1%
            if your footage is too ruff, drag all the way to 75%-90%
                >you footage will be more cropped but stable 
@8:40 Keep smoothness at 1%
- Method     >Subspace Warp
