Cuvista stabilizes shaky video footage on your PC. Open a video file,
save to a new filename, and watch the software do its job. Contrary to other software by default only one single pass over the input is made to analyse and
generate the output.
The software will make use of GPU acceleration if supported hardware is present, greatly accelerating the process in that way.
The cuda platform present on Nvidia grahics cards is used if such a suitable device is detected.
Also OpenCL capable devices are supported.
No special driver or software is needed to make use of gpu acceleration.
Without any dedicated hardware stabilization will still run on CPU power alone, which will provide the same result,
although at a significantly lower speed.
Sample Footage
The following video shows side by side the original recording and the stabilized version

Options
Some settings allow to change the process and outcome
Overwrite: When checked,
no confirmation dialog is displayed when overwriting an existing output file
Device: Select the device to do the heavy computing. Prefer a cuda capable device
Encoding: Select the device to do the video encoding. Can be different from the stabilization device
Temporal Radius: How many frames before and after shall be considered to smooth movements.
Higher value will generally provide smoother output
Zoom: Stabilization moves frames around, which reaveals the void at least on one side of the frame.
Zooming into the video by some amount will hide this moving effect
Background: Fill the void in the background either with a fixed color or preceding frames
Stack: Put original and stabilized video side by side to display the stabilization result
If you want to watch how exactly each frame is moved around to compensate for the shakyness in the recording,
try to set zoom to 0.9 and background to some fixed color
Command Line Version
There also is a command line version availabe which provides more advances options
Open a command prompt, go to the folder containing the unzipped application files
and use the syntax cuvista.exe -i infile -o outfile
Provide the option -h to get additional help
