Luma applies stabilization on playback. We keep all the pixels we get from the camera, even when you upload to our cloud service. As we improve our algorithms your existing videos will continue to improve with time. There's much more that we can do to help you create stunning videos. We're just getting started :)

It sounds like you're applying post-decode linear transformation to the data, but, if so, the video would only appear stabilized in your own custom player. Does MPEG-4 allow one to specify per-frame linear transformations beyond simple ROI? I didn't think so, but if so, that's pretty cool. Or perhaps you keep the original data around server-side, but always stream a corrected version to anyone who asks to play the video.

Either way, your videos look great. I love the fact that you also compensate for rotation, which is expensive even when you have macroblock vectors. I hope you can stay ahead of Apple (both iPhone, iMovie, and FCP) and Android in this space. Best of luck. May you become the Instagram of online video!
