As we continue exploring ways to stabilize footage, we’re going to take a look at a plugin for VirtualDub called DeShaker. I’m betting you never heard of VirtualDub, right? Unfortunately, it’s Windows only, but maybe it will run in a Windows emulator for Linux or Mac. I started using VirtualDub years ago for converting raw data from DVDs for my demo reel. If you look at the data on a DVD, the movie files are all .vob files. VirtualDub reads these just fine.
DeShaker is VirtualDub server video stabilizer software. The software is available for all versions of windows and is relatively small in size. The software is supported by all 32 bit and 64-bit version of Windows. It is a plugin, so there is no presence of GUI. However, the software is still very popular with all the video editing.

VirtualDub started in a dorm room by a guy named Avery Lee who just wanted to capture a Sailor Moon video to his computer. It’s very small and basic, and its main purpose it to capture footage and save it as an uncompressed AVI video file. The Wikipedia page says development stopped in 2013, and even the forums were shut down in 2015, so grab it now and hang on to it!
It can do basic editing/trimming, and people have written lots of plugins for it. The best of them, in my opinion, is DeShaker, which does exactly what the name says – deshakes your footage.

Just choose a couple of settings and let it work its magic!

This software is free but only exists on Windows. I’m a Mac user so is it somehow possible to run a windows app on a Mac?
I recently came across a solution on this website: http://starchaser.de/deepskystacker-fuer-mac-osx/
This people simply ported the windows app with wine (a tool for running windows software on linux and other unix-like operating systems) – thank you for that!
The version from Starchaser stopped working for me on High Sierra so I decided to make my own version.
I searched the forums for the specific beta version 3.3.6 that the people at starchaser used. Downloaded it an played around with WineBottler (wine based tool for converting windows software to a mac .app) and finally it worked on High Sierra.
Here is the result:

Make shure that you check the settings every time you start DeepSkyStacker. Some settings stay as you left them others don’t. So just double check before you start stacking. DeepSkyStacker should choose the language automatically based on your settings in macOS. If this does not work, please let me know in the comments.
