Hi ffmpeg is able to use two video filters called vidstabdetect and vidstabtransform to deshake video. They are the best automatic video deshaking option there is native to Linux. Please add a vidstab USE flag for ffmpeg to trigger --enable-libvidstab during ffmpeg's ./configure invocation. I will open a new issue for getting a vid.stab ebuild. The following instructions are for any interested to easily try this out by hand, confined to an easily-deletable ~/programs folder. How to compile ffmpeg with libvidstab support (vid.stab) and deshake video: mkdir ~/programs && cd ~/programs git clone https://github.com/georgmartius/vid.stab.git code-vidstab git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git code-ffmpeg mkdir ~/programs/vidstab cd ~/programs/code-vidstab cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$HOME/programs/vidstab make -j8 install mkdir ~/programs/ffmpeg && cd ~/programs/ffmpeg PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/programs/vidstab/lib/pkgconfig $HOME/programs/code-ffmpeg/configure --prefix=$HOME/programs/ffmpeg --enable-nonfree --enable-frei0r --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libvidstab make -j8 install cd /path/to/video LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/programs/vidstab/lib/ $HOME/programs/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i IN.mp4 -an -vcodec libx264 -preset superfast -crf 18 -vf "vidstabdetect=show=1" out.mp4 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/programs/vidstab/lib/ $HOME/programs/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i IN.mp4 -an -vcodec libx264 -preset slower -crf 23 -vf "vidstabtransform=smoothing=15:zoom=5" -y out.mp4
