I was just trying (hard) to come up with a reason for using my algorithm instead of yours
Warp...
"Adaptive zoom only (some borders)" is too long, it doesn't fit. And anyway, I never meant for Deshaker to be user friendly

As for "nice" settings, what's nice for one person might not be nice for another. I, for example, almost always use "edge compensation: none", but do use zoom smoothing (unless there's no zooming in the clip). Almost the exact opposite of you
