Python Code(Optional)

from vidgear.gears.stabilizer import Stabilizer
import cv2
import time
import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(level=3)
stab = Stabilizer(border_size=10, crop_n_zoom=True, logging=True)

def stabilize_video(input_path, output_path):
    start_time = time.time()
    stream = cv2.VideoCapture(input_path)

    # Get video properties
    fps = int(stream.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS))
    width = int(stream.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH))
    height = int(stream.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT))

    # Define the codec and create VideoWriter object
    fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v')
    out = cv2.VideoWriter(output_path, fourcc, fps, (width, height))

    while True:
        # read frames from stream
        (grabbed, frame) = stream.read()

        if not grabbed:
            break
        # send current frame to stabilizer for processing
        stabilized_frame = stab.stabilize(frame)

        # wait for stabilizer which still be initializing
        if stabilized_frame is None:
            continue

        out.write(stabilized_frame)

    # clear stabilizer resources
    stab.clean()

    # safely close video stream
    stream.release()
    out.release()
    logger.info(f"Stabilization completed in {time.time() - start_time} seconds.")
    return True

@ronfromhp This is weird. There are platform-specific changes in the Stabilizer API that I know of. I'll test it on my system and let you know. This issue mostly arises from a small error in code you write in a script, so if you could double-check, that would be great.

I've double checked it and it shows no error on the logs or in the output, only issue is that the quality of the stabilization is worse on the Ubuntu enviornment
