What is new in Version?
Highlights of Version 2 include the completely new stabilization technology based on all 3 camera
axes (known as 3D stabilization), resulting in a far higher success rate in the detection of
unwanted movements and giving you far better results in the steadied clips. In addition, a new
"smart border" technology reduces the required zoom-in factor to preserve as much image
information as possible from the original footage in the stabilized clip. Version 2 also gives the
cutter the ability to manually control the degree of deshake for just the desired result in terms of
camera dynamics.
Mercalli also features an integrated, fully automatic Rolling-Shutter Compensation, which allows
post-production correction of the weaknesses inherent in CMOS sensors, thus enhancing the
quality of footage from action cameras, compact photo cameras, mobile phones and, not least,
digital SLR cameras.

How does Mercalli work?
Picture your original video being projected onto a screen and a virtual camera filming it all over
again – only this camera can move. This camera is Mercalli – and it moves about all 3 camera
axes and is equipped with a magical stabilization logic!
You determine how the camera should work and how it should film by your choice of virtual
Stabi-Cam. For instance, an absolutely fixed camera stabilizes according to different criteria than
a free-flying, gliding virtual camera.
