Difference between stabilise and 360 stabilise in Shotcut

In Shotcut, the terms "Stabilize" and "360 Stabilize" refer to different types of video stabilization features designed for specific use cases:

Stabilize:

The "Stabilize" feature in Shotcut is designed for traditional, non-360-degree videos. 

It is used to reduce shakiness or jitteriness in standard videos. 

When you apply the stabilize filter to a clip, Shotcut analyzes the motion within the video and attempts to smooth out the movement, providing a more stable and visually pleasing result.

360 Stabilize:

On the other hand, "360 Stabilize" is specifically designed for 360-degree videos. 

360-degree videos capture footage in all directions, and stabilization for these videos is more complex because the viewer can look in any direction. 

The "360 Stabilize" feature in Shotcut is tailored to handle the unique challenges of stabilizing spherical or panoramic videos. 

It aims to reduce motion artifacts and improve the overall viewing experience for 360-degree content.

In summary, "Stabilize" is for regular videos, while "360 Stabilize" is specialized for stabilizing 360-degree videos. 

The choice between them depends on the type of footage you are working with. 

If you have a standard video, use "Stabilize," and if you are dealing with a 360-degree video, use "360 Stabilize" for optimal results.
