Note that this approach does appear to still require choosing some basic settings for each video, but it will run them as a batch operation.

<p>I have a lot of videos that need stabilization... is there any way to batch stabilize them?</p>

<p>edit: I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. I don't think that what kind of software and footage do I have... I'm just looking for a program that can take a folder full of videos and batch stabilize them. VReveal kinda can do it, but I have to manually add each file to the queue, which is a chore</p>

Could you maybe add more details? What sort of footage (panning, rotating, from a car, etc...)? What platform? What software do you have? How many footage?

Do all your video clips need the same kind of stabilization? E.G. in Sony Vegas Pro (video editor) there is a stabilization feature but has numerous parameters to set depending on if the source material is handheld camera, moving object within frame, pan, tilt, etc. It's hard for me to imagine a one stop process that fixes it all. Generally, stabilization is carefully applied in a trial and error manner to allow for each unstable shot to be stabilized.
