It seems on macOS 10.15.6, Unshaky no longer works unless by default, workaround: issue #166 Unshaky tries to address an issue on the butterfly keyboard (Macbook, Macbook Air 2018 & MacBook Pro 2016 and later): Double Key Press (See 'User complaints' below). Apple made it difficult to replace only the keyboard and it costs hundreds of dollars.

Warp Stabilizer VFX settings

This is just a summary of the Warp Stabilizer VFX settings to help you get started.

  • Result controls the intended result. Smooth Motion makes camera movement smoother, but doesn’t eliminate it; use the Smoothness setting to control how smooth the movement becomes. No Motion attempts to remove all of the camera motion.
  • Method specifies the most complex operation the Warp Stabilizer VFX performs on the footage to stabilize it: Position, which is based on position data only; Position, Scale, Rotation, which uses these three types of data; Perspective, which effectively corner-pins the entire frame; or Subspace Warp (the default), which attempts to warp various parts of the frame differently to stabilize the entire frame.
  • Borders settings adjust how borders (the moving edges) are treated for footage that is stabilized. Framing controls how the edges appear in a stabilizing result, and determines whether the effect crops, scales, or synthesizes edges using material from other frames.
  • Auto-scale displays the current auto-scale amount, and allows you to set limits on the amount of auto-scaling.
  • Advanced settings give you even greater control over the actions of the Warp Stabilizer VFX effect.

Tip: You can use Warp Stabilizer VFX advanced settings to achieve more complex effects, too. To learn more, see Adobe After Effects Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques, available from Adobe Press.

Unshaky

Over the last three years, I've occasionally been using a MacBook Pro 13-inch 2018. Unfortunately, it has been the worst laptop experience of my existence!

It was an upgrade to a MacBook Pro 13-inch 2015, and aside from the Apple Touch Bar, it would be fair to consider it superior to its predecessor. However, I started noticing something unusual once I started using it for writing - I kept making mistakes.

Like many, I'm a touch typist and quite comfortable using most keyboards. If I switch to a new keyboard, it sometimes takes some time to get used to the shape of the keys, the spacing between them, and how they feel. So at first, I assumed this unusual feeling came from typing on a brand new keyboard. Over time, I noticed a pattern in the mistakes I was making. Sometimes I would double type a letter, e.g. e, or I would miss the letter entirely.

It starteed gtting on my neervs.

My typing slowed down as I was often typing in anticipation of these mistakes, and it became an overall distraction.

I found similar reports shared online, and I was relieved at the suggestion that it might be a hardware issue with the 'butterfly keyboard', rather than a deterioration of my ability!

Through this search, I also discovered an attempt to address the issue with software. It's called Unshaky, and it attempts to dismiss erroneous key press registrations, i.e. those that occur no later than x milliseconds after the previous one. It's not perfect and it doesn't solve all the issues, but in the following screenshot you can see some of what it caught over just a few months:

It has been a terrible experience in general, and I look forward to leaving this machine behind me. What follows is a list of keyboard complaints taken from the Unshaky README1
