Any good plug-ins to smooth out shaky HDV footage?	Can't Post

Am I correct in thinking that there are currently NO plug-ins for Premiere Pro that will reduce shaky camera movements of HDV footage?
I can't find such a doggie on the internet anywhere.
SteadyMove from 2d3 appears to only work with DV. Mad

I realize that shake-reducing plug-ins reduce your resolution, but since I'm currently down-converting my HDV stuff to DV resolution anyway it seems like a no-brainer.

Any help? TIA

I thought it was built in to ae now in the motion tracking, or that might be the pro version. You could do it the hard way by moving the track with keyframes and slomo.

Hi, I'm not sure if this goes where you want to, but I have done HD
deshaking with VirtualDub. Here are details on it:

with a before and after sample.

I learned about avisynth and frame serving only after this project was done.
So combining it with
http://www.sportsflashtech.com/video/workflow-divx.htm
is definitely what I will do next time.
