How to Fix your Shaky Videos with YouTube Video Editor. This video tutorial describes how you may easily smooth-out and fix your shaky video footage captured with hand-held video cameras and cellphones with the help of YouTube’s online video editor. Stabilization makes your videos worth watching! What you see below is a short 20-second video clip that was shot using a mobile phone camera and uploaded directly to YouTube without any editing.

The video quality could be great but because of shaky footage, they are difficult to watch. HighlightCam--video summarization. Video content is exploding over the web.
