A niche but focused viewport aid that stands out in the Blender Extensions library for tracked-footage work. Its two reviewers rate it five stars, with one noting it's useful for checking and adjusting matchmove accuracy.
Viewport stabilizer keeps the Blender viewport locked onto a chosen 3D point so it stays fixed on screen. It's aimed at matchmove artists and anyone working with tracked footage. You can stabilise on the 3D Cursor, an active object's pivot, a specified object's pivot, or selected vertices — the vertex option needs to be enabled in the add-on's settings first.
Beyond stabilization, the add-on can find the center of an object or of selected vertices and create an Empty there in a single click. Stabilization toggles with Alt+C by default, and that shortcut can be changed in the settings at any time. Its controls live under 3D View > Sidebar > View tab.
The add-on runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and requires no special permissions. It's available through the Blender Extensions library, where it can be installed directly from Blender's preferences or downloaded and installed from disk.
Viewport stabilizer is best for matchmove artists and anyone working with tracked footage who wants to keep a 3D point fixed on screen while working in Blender.
Viewport stabilizer is completely free to download and use.
Viewport stabilizer is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on the current LTS release and later versions. The latest listed release is version 1.0.2, and the add-on requires no special permissions to run. You can add it through the Blender Extensions library, either by installing directly from Blender's preferences or by downloading the file and installing it from disk. For the newest details on version support, check the developer's page on GitHub.
Viewport stabilizer can be installed a few ways. The simplest is directly inside Blender: open Preferences, go to Get Extensions, search for the add-on, and press Install. You can also download the latest version from the Blender Extensions platform and install it from disk. A manual option exists too, where you unzip the archive and move the files into Blender's user_default extensions folder. Once installed, its controls appear under 3D View > Sidebar > View tab.
Viewport stabilizer toggles stabilization with the Alt+C shortcut by default, and you can change that keymap in the settings at any time. All of its controls sit in the 3D View under Sidebar > View tab. From there you can stabilise on the 3D Cursor, an active object's pivot, or a specified object's pivot. Stabilizing on selected vertices is also available once you enable that option in the add-on's settings.
Viewport stabilizer can stabilise the viewport on selected vertices, but this option isn't on by default — you first need to enable it in the add-on's settings. Once active, it works alongside the other stabilization targets: the 3D Cursor, an active object's pivot, and a specified object's pivot. The add-on can also find the center of selected vertices and create an Empty at that point in a single click.
Viewport stabilizer is listed as free in this catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The add-on requires no special permissions and is available through the Blender Extensions library. Licensing terms can change, so for the most current information it's best to check the developer's page on GitHub before you rely on it for a project.
