Mercalli SAL eliminates sensor errors, smooths out any movement, and perfects exposure and color—all fully automatically with a single click.

Mercalli SAL

Save every moment – create perfect videos with just one click!
Whether you're a news editor, event filmmaker, drone pilot, or YouTuber, that unique moment needs to be captured right now.
There's no time to set up a tripod, calibrate a gimbal, or perfect the lighting. Just point and shoot!

That's exactly what Mercalli SAL is for.

Focus on your subject; Mercalli will take care of the rest later.
Thanks to brand-new artificial intelligence (AiA) technology, you can salvage and perfect footage you had already given up on.

Your benefits at a glance:

Masters even the most difficult flaws: Where standard stabilizers give up, Mercalli is just getting started.
Eliminates complex sensor distortions (CMOS wobble/jello effect, high-frequency vibrations) and stubborn rolling shutter errors without compromise.
AI-powered stabilization: Automatically and naturally smooths out even extremely shaky and unstable footage.
All-in-one optimization: Not only corrects image dynamics, but also automatically optimizes exposure and color in the same step.
Intuitive operation: A modern user interface turns highly complex video recovery into a simple 1-click solution.

Superior CMOS correction and high-end stabilization:

Mercalli SAL is significantly more powerful than the Mercalli NLE plug-ins. As a standalone application, it offers you noticeably more options for repairing complex CMOS distortions.
Precision for CMOS vibrations and 3D camera movements: Eliminates high-frequency CMOS vibrations, distortions caused by jerky movements, and the jello effect, and reliably processes even difficult 3D camera movements.
Customized Fisheye Perfection: Taking lens distortion fully into account, ultra-wide-angle and fisheye videos (up to 179°) are simultaneously stabilized and CMOS-corrected. You can flexibly decide whether to preserve the characteristic fisheye look or remove it seamlessly.
Perfect optical calibration with Defishr: In combination with the optional proDAD Defishr software, you can measure your specific camera lenses with pixel-level precision. Import these profiles (camera intrinsic) into Mercalli SAL to achieve a customized correction result.
Maximum field of view thanks to dynamic zoom: The automatic, dynamic adjustment of the zoom ensures that the image is zoomed in only as much as is absolutely necessary for perfect stabilization.
Full flexibility: The stabilization can be precisely adjusted using numerous parameters to suit your personal preferences and requirements.

Smart Workflow and Maximum Format Capabilities:

Supports formats up to 16K+: Mercalli SAL loads and processes an extremely large number of video and image formats and effortlessly handles massive resolutions up to 16K and, in some cases, even beyond. In addition, individual images can be combined into a video.
Automatic Cut Detection: During stabilization, scene changes and cuts are automatically detected. This allows you to process entire films in a single pass without having to manually edit the footage beforehand.

Integrated exposure, color correction, and creative effects:

Dynamic 1-Click Optimization: Correct exposure and colors fully automatically with just one click—the optimization dynamically adapts to the image sequence.
Comprehensive Color Grading with Keyframes: In addition to fast automatic adjustments, numerous fine-tuning options are available. Typical color adjustments such as black point, color channels, white balance, tint, or color temperature (warm/cool) can be controlled precisely and dynamically using keyframes.
Geometric Keyframe Animations: You can also precisely control rotations and scaling over time using keyframes, if desired.
Atmospheric Presets and Lighting: Use a wide variety of presets for quick visual enhancements. Add accents with vignettes and spotlights, or create very special atmospheres with synthetic lighting—for example, a warm sunrise ambiance.
In addition, you can remove image noise or improve the sharpness of the shot.
