It does have a mild blur filter which you can remove, but if it isn’t actually stabilizing the video from shakiness, something is wrong.

See here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#vidstabdetect-1

Maybe your ffmpeg build doesn’t have it? Also try removing the log level parameter.

It is stabilizing, just not in the way (or as much) as I imagined, is the issue. I tried to describe it, not really sure how else to. But it's not really the same kind of output I'm expecting from a deshaking filter. I'd expect black margins etc. to bleed in for example, but I don't see that here.

The first pass is meant to find the rotation, then I assume the next pass cancels it out.
