I believe what you're looking for is what Reddit's popular bot u/stabbot does.

I was able to find this comment thread where a user posted some ffmpeg scripts to replicate the behavior. Am on mobile currently so I can't verify they do what you're looking for but here's a snippet.

//PART 1 [Defaults: shakiness=5:accuracy=15:stepsize=6:mincontrast=0.3:show=0] ffmpeg -i shaky-input.mp4 -vf vidstabdetect=shakiness=5:accuracy=15:stepsize=6:mincontrast=0.3:show=2 dummy_crop.mp4

//PART 2 ffmpeg -i shaky-input.mp4 -vf scale=trunc((iw0.90)/2)2:trunc(ow/a/2)*2 scaled_crop.mp4

//PART 3 [-strict -2 ONLY IF OPUS AUDIO] - [Unsharp Default: '5:5:1.0:5:5:0.0'] ffmpeg -i scaled_crop.mp4 -vf vidstabtransform=smoothing=20:input="transforms.trf":interpol=no:zoom=-10:optzoom=2,unsharp=5:5:0.8:3:3:0.4 stabilized_crop-output.mp4

Stabbot is open source. It's written in Python and calls out to ffmpeg with vidstabdetect/transform: https://gitlab.com/juergens/stabbot

I don't think vidstab can do exactly what's being asked for here, I've never seen it rotating the frame completely to keep a rotating pen stabilized, or move the frame inside a larger canvas to keep a moving subject centered. I think you have to use video editing and do that manually.


Yeah that kind of looks like it. Thank you! I'll try it out.
