And anyway, I didn't want to headline another post about iMovie; it's starting to turn into the iMovie blog...
I had intended to try some experiments with it, but Jeff Carlson at Macworld beat me to it with a little sample clip in his review. The function is part of the image stabilization function; when you turn on either the Stabilization or Rolling Shutter functions, iMovie puts up an "Analyzing for Stabilization" progress bar and spends a few seconds or minutes processing the clip. This processing pass isn't repeated if you turn Stabilization on after you turn on the Rolling Shutter reduction. Parameters are: Low Medium, High and Extra High, which means you have to pick and test to see which works for your footage.
Macworld: iMovie '11

Really? A fact? Because iMovie 09 had a slew of useful features that didn't make it into FCP7. I mean, if FCP becomes clean and cocoa like iMovie, yes, I would expect it to carry over. But I've learned not to hedge any bets when it comes to the Pro Apps.
Well, my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote that, BUT, the first rev of the Image Stabilization tool appeared in iMovie 09, then showed up in Final Cut 7. And while they didn't add everything, remember that Final Cut 7 came out "only" six months after iMovie 09. If the next Final Cut isn't coming out until 2011 (over a year!) then it's hard to image why they'd NOT include it...
Well there is one; maybe by then all the "DSLR killer" cameras will have done their job, and no one will be worried about Rolling Shutter any more!!
