I posted this in the "other" website, but can't seem to get a response so I will try here too.

Any of you Mac users out there. What are you using to edit and stabilize your aerial video?

I'm thinking of going with Final Cut Pro. or Adobe Premiere, but was wondering what was working for some of you out there.

I hear Shake has a pretty good motion tracker

one of the things i use (for ease of use) is iStabilize (http://www.pixlock.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=18&Itemid=82). works well and not as labor-intesive as FCP or Adobe. i use all 3 but iStabilize is great for 'quick-n-dirty' and is easy to use and produces decent results.

lol - watch the demo videos (http://www.pixlock.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=7&Itemid=113) of the app in action. i particularly like the one of the vidcam strapped to a bicycle while riding over a cobblestone street.

Final Cut comes with one built in.

Do you know if all the versions have it built in? My Dad has an older version of FCP that he'd probably sell to me cheap. Not sure which version it is yet though.
