What this node does

Video Stabilize smooths out camera shake in a COMFYTV_VIDEO clip using ffmpeg’s deshake filter. It searches each frame for the best matching shift and counter-moves the image to hold it steady. This is the fast, single-pass stabilizer; for stronger results use Stabilize Pro. It processes on ▶ Run and writes a new video snapshot. A source clip on video is required. In and out are both COMFYTV_VIDEO. To interoperate with native ComfyUI nodes, insert a Bridge — see the bridge guide.

​
When to use it

  • Quickly calm handheld jitter on a clip without a full two-pass analysis.
  • Steady mild shake where you don’t want the heavier processing of Stabilize Pro.

​
Parameters

​
range_x

Maximum horizontal shift searched, in pixels, 8–64, default 16 (rounded to a multiple of 16 internally). Larger allows correcting bigger horizontal shake but costs more compute.

​
range_y

Maximum vertical shift searched, in pixels, 8–64, default 16. Larger corrects bigger vertical shake.

​
edge

How to fill the borders exposed when the frame is shifted. Options: mirror (default, reflect the edge), blank (black borders), original (keep original edge pixels), clamp (extend edge pixels). mirror usually hides the shift best.

Tips

  • For heavy or rolling shake, Stabilize Pro (two-pass, with camera-path smoothing and auto-zoom) gives noticeably better results.
  • blank edges reveal the correction as black margins; mirror or clamp hide it, at the cost of some edge distortion.
  • Stabilize Pro — stronger two-pass stabilization with smoothing and auto-zoom.
  • Blur / Sharpen — re-sharpen if stabilization softens the frame.
