An apparatus including a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate (i) a first series of sequential frames, (ii) a plurality of local motion vectors for each of said frames, (iii) one or more global motion vectors for each of said frames, (iv) a second series of stabilized sequential frames, (v) a plurality of rough motion vectors and (vi) a digital bitstream in response to (i) a video input signal. The second circuit may be configured to store (i) the first series of sequential frames, (ii) the plurality of local motion vectors, (iii) the one or more global motion vectors, (iv) the second series of stabilized sequential frames and (v) the plurality of rough motion vectors.
