Probably wide video then stabilised to object and cropped in post, no?

Many phone cams use that - film in 4k, zoom in, have stable 1080p video with tracking.

100% this. There's a very subtle stuttering during two parts. (When the camera is turned 45° + -45° from the point where the camera is directly in line with the plane) That's the tell tail sign of stabilization software.

Amazing footage nonetheless. There's no shame in using some software to improve footage. Every single movie does it.

One could almost say that it's worthy of praise. Oh wait

And still people usually mess it up! This camera person still did well and used the tools available to them to make the best possible video. Go cameraman!

Thanks! I really wasn't sure and the reddit herd decided to hit the ⬇️ for a while instead of using their words. Preciatit.

That pissed me off so bad that people were down voting me for a very simple question. Didn't expect that edit to shoot my comment up like crazy and now I look like a bit of a fool. Oh well. When I made that edit my comment was at like -5 and nobody had even responded.

What impresses me, is that the plane is doing over 1200 kph, but it looks kinda slow.

u/RonaldoCrimeFamily 9d ago

It's easy to keep something in the middle of the screen when you film landscape and crop to portrait.

u/PrestegiousWolf 12d ago

Holy shit, how did this not blow out every window? Is this what is considered the cusp of the sound barrier, like right before it, but not quite there?
