Virtualdub Batch Video DeShake 26.0204
If you have a folder full of wobbly clips from a phone, action cam, or handheld camera, processing them one by one is painfully slow.
VirtualDub Batch Video DeShake solves that problem by stabilizing and compressing all your videos automatically.
Just point the tool at a folder, run a simple command, and let it handle the rest.
Developed by isidroco, it builds on the trusted VirtualDub2 video editor and the well-known Deshaker stabilization filter.
How Does It Work?
The tool runs from the command line in two passes. The first pass analyzes motion in every video and creates a stabilization log.
The second pass applies the correction and compresses the output to H.264 video with MP3 audio.
You can also skip stabilization entirely and just batch compress your files, or extract audio tracks separately.
Quality settings are easy to adjust - pick a number from 1 to 9 for video sharpness and 1 to 5 for audio quality, with good defaults already set.
What Can It Fix?
Beyond basic shake removal, the tool handles a variety of common video problems.
It can correct rolling shutter wobble on Canon DSLRs (with built-in presets for popular models like the T3i, T5i, and 70D), remove interlacing from older footage, reduce video noise, crop edges, rotate clips, and resize to standard resolutions.
These options are all controlled through simple flags you add to the command, so there is no need to dig through menus or settings panels.
What You Need to Install
The download package already includes VirtualDub2 and the Deshaker plugin.
You will also need AviSynth+ (used behind the scenes for noise reduction) and the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack to ensure your system can read all common video formats. A single setup script handles the installation. The package also includes bonus utilities for extracting audio, merging clips, and combining video with chapter markers through MKVToolNix.
What Else Is Out There?
If you prefer working with a visual interface instead of the command line, the standard VirtualDub or VirtualDub2 editors let you apply Deshaker manually on individual clips.
For a fully automatic, AI-driven approach, Topaz Video AI stabilizes footage without any parameter tuning. Advanced users who want deeper control over filtering can build custom pipelines with StaxRip or MeGUI.
After stabilization, your fixed clips are ready to import into editors like DaVinci Resolve, Shotcut, or Kdenlive.
For quick trimming without re-encoding, LosslessCut is the fastest option. If you need to shrink files further for sharing or archiving, HandBrake or FFmpeg can re-encode to more efficient formats like HEVC or AV1.
