Any ideas on how to fix the Shaky Hand problem?

[Tshark]

It has been over a year since I have started video editing, and till today I still have not achieved my target of converting 20 odd old NTSC Video 8 tapes onto DVD after cutting out the boring stuff.

After spending more $$$, I have managed to eliminated most of my previous problems, but still left with some problems on my footage before it is watchable. Using a combination of the ADVC-100 and the Matrox X100, I have now successfully converted my old Video 8 tapes to DV AVI. Three problems remain:

1, The original video was taken by myself with a handycam that did not have and shaky hand feature. Being a bad videographer as I am, the footage makes anyone watching the video seasick. I have hear that there are some programs or Premiere plugins that can help fix this?

2, Being old, the colors on the video is very dull. Is there any program I can use to fix this?

3, When converting into DV.AVI there is always a vertical black line on the left side of video, and a the think distorted horizontal line on the bottom. Any solutions to the problem?

Thank you for your help.

i think that i have one solution for you... i had that problem with video that i was viewing in the editing program vegas video... i unselected keep aspect ratio and checked fill screen and that took care of vertical black bar on the right... as for adding the steady shot thing the only thing that i could think of (note: very very time consuming) you could zoom in on the frame like 5 percent then you could go through it frame by frame slight moving the viewing area and tilting the picture...
good luck with your project
