Professional video editor?

[stefanmz]

Hey, so is there some super professional video editor with which you can turn phone footage with very good quality into a tv-like film(I am talking quality upscaling, motion tracking and super stabilization?) I love the stabilization in Premiere and Final Cut is also great but both lack features I need. The motion tracking is very important, I need some app where I can track a person but in a way that when the camera moves and the person gets off frame, the app will move the video(position) so that the person is in frame and I want that done automatically. Is there an app that can do that properly? In a way that I don't have to keyframe and move the video manually and it does all the work for me? Is there an app that meets all the requirements stated in this question? I heard Avid makes an app that even Hollywood uses so is that good or should I look for another one?

Resolve can make a crop follow a person. Not sure if the studio version is needed for this, but I have studio and it works fine.

Thats not really a thing. You can make phone footage look a bit better, but you can't beat better camera hardware.

Install resolve, click on a clip and turn on smart reframe. 

 

But these pro grade programs are typically designed for manual adjustments, as the user probably knows more about what they want than some auto function.

well yeah I know, I just thought with AI they could have improved the auto function. I can do it myself I just didn't want to bother to but alright. Thanks for the tip! But do you know how to do that smart reframe thing in Final Cut. I already began using it so if you know how to do that there it will be appreciated, if not it's fine. If anyone has any tips I will welcome them

I recommend getting some kind of handle or stabilizer mount for recording with your phone, and using a tripod whenever possible. That will help the footage look less "handheld" before it even gets to your computer, instead of only relying on post-processing magic.

 

It doesn't have to be an expensive gimbal; even a homemade rig made out of lumber can help. (And it doesn't matter what the rig looks like, because the viewer's not going to see it anyway!  )

yeah I will definitely get one thanks! For the current footage I actually sorted out the stabilization, I used Final Cut Pro and tweaking the stabilization settings yielded a great result fantastic even the video is now stable as if I am actually using a tripod. Very awesome software, I love it so yeah I think that's solved. I have another question about stabilization now, but I think it will be better to post it as a new thread. The problem regarding this one is solved. Thanks anyway, I appreciate the tips! I am marking this as the solution since it includes both your answer and my clarification. Of course for anyone reading I am sure Premiere Pro and DaVinci will also do a fantastic job at this I am not saying ignore them, just that was the solution for me. DaVinci also has excellent stabilization so yeah, I guess just find the software you like.
