Re-aim stabilized shot
After you've stabilized a shot, you may want to "re-aim" it so that a somewhat different direction is "true north" (centered) in the stabilized image. Nominally you could achieve that by picking a somewhat different coordinate system originally, but this script allows you to tweak it later. You can pan (usually) and also tilt and roll the stabilized shot (the latter two bend the horizon). The trackers' 2D locations are updated to maintain consistency with the imagery, and optionally the 3D positions and camera path can be updated to maintain the true north orientation (try it both ways to see the difference).
The Re-aim script also consolidates the adjustments into the stabilizer portion of the image preprocessor, leaving the Adjust tracks subsequently free, so that you can hand-animate the horizon line throughout the shot to compensate for any drift. Don't do that if you are planning to add 3D effects, though, because that added hand-animation will break the match!
