I could use DVE to overlap the backgrounds of each frame to the nearest pixel(!).

But of course the background - the ground - is not moving at all, so in theory if I could make each frame lock to the previous one from a pre-selected area with some highlight in, and all would be well. I now want to do this using a camera looking down from above (on a pole, or a drone), but am finding that neither of these are nearly steady enough only the smallest movement of the background is needed to destroy the illusion. Works very well IFF the camera is on a nice steady tripod. Easy to do, actor gurns away (or whatever they do) in one part of the frame, then moves to another part of the frame and does the same, then in Lwks I put the first half on V1, the second half on V2 and use a mask to make the magic happen - two actors on screen. I am shooting a scene with a 'virtual double'. With KillerKeys, you can always have the shortcuts you want for practically any application right in front of you. Deshaker (virtualdub) seems to be the most adjustable, well, deshaker I can find, but even its 'total deshake' option doesn't do this - and doesn't claim to. Below is a list of EditShare Lightworks keyboard shortcuts. locking the background to the first frame. I wonder if anyone knows of a way of 'totally' stabilising footage i.e.
