Hi! I have a problem with a camera path exported with syntheyes. The path overall is good (as you can see from the screenshot)

but you can notice a shaky camera (very little movements but it's not good)

If I zoom on the camera path in the curve editor I can see why the path of the camera is so shaky!

Is there a mode to smooth the path (the output camera will not be so perfect but doesn't care!)? I try to select all the point and in the curve editor click the "set tangent to smooth" but doesn't work. How can I transform the path? (now the "assign controller" for the variuos path - x, y, z - is bezier float. Thanks in advance!!

hi, You cant smooth if there is a key every frame, thou there should be some script for noise filtering(averaging values)? just guesing.
But try reduce keys from the keys menu. May help.

Using the reduce keys tool will take some of the bumps out of your curves, but you may lose some of the motion. Experiment with different threshold values.

Many thanks guys! I used the reduce keys, with the default threshold of 0,5 and it works very good!! Thanks again!
