I want to remove little camera movements from a video. Is this possible? I tried virtualdub with deshaker plugin, but it only works for shaking.
- Shooting position: bridge
- Weather: strong wind
Example shot on youtube.

Adobe premiere and After effects have a stabilizer plugin with a "no motion" setting that does what you want. These are commercial applications.
The free Da vinci resolve lite also has a "stabilize option" (but I have never tried it personally)
FFMpeg's vid.stab
filter is configurable. Crank up the time-scale and even slow global motion should get stabilized.
You have to run it as a 2-pass process: detect, and then stabilize. If you're going to do more with the video later, after stabilizing, output to a lossless format and then point your other tools at that.
Another option to try is Prodad Mercalli - a standalone application with some very cool features, such as CMOS correction. Contains many built-in presets for action cameras. Not cheap, though.
