I have a 3840x2160 MOV file taken with my EM1.II Olympus camera. It is a videoclip of a tiny bird taken in the wild without any aids. Hence, despite the good stabilization feature of the camera, the bird moves quite a bit along the frame. I want to stabilize the video USING LINUX ONLY (Fedora 35 fully updated).

I can crop A LOT, since the bird is quite small in the frame. Yet, the bird moves quite a bit in the frame, in a circle of around 800 pixels in diameter. But the video is not "blurred": the bird is fixed and sharp most of the time, thanks to the stabilization of the camera.

I tried to install Blender, but it does not run complaining about my old video card. I then tried Kdenlive without luck: the motion tracker effect was removed last year. So the natural clues I found in Google do not apply anymore.

Anyway, there should be a good way to stabilize the video using ffmpeg and other software. ffmpeg comes with a stabilization feature, but it only works for small movements, and my movements are not small at all.

DaVinci Resolve (free version) works on Linux and has good stabilization. I'm currently running Resolve 17 on Pop! OS 21.1 without a problem. To make a Debian type installer I used https://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb

Edit: Somehow missed that you are on Fedora, however it does seem like some folks have it running on that distro.
