Track the feature you want to track - then make an expression. Set the x or y (depending which one you want to stabilze) to a fixed amount and connect one of the points in the expression to the steady or unsteady position of the tracker. Now enter something like p1.x in the expression field and you should be done.

What other software and what options do you get there? The main benefit from this is that it is very flexible.

the path modifiers in fusion can be a little frustrating because of the lack of individual XYZ control.
If you right click on an option (like center for instance) you can modify it with an xy path (this will give you XY and Z control) which will give you the type of control you are more familiar with.
You could then connect just the X or the Y axis to your tracker and that should also solve your problem in a way that is less expression intensive (for those that feel a little lost in the expression field).

I tried to do that, but when i apply a xy path to a tranfor for example, and try to connect the y or x position to my tracker it wont allow you to.

I got the same problem right now and I'm not quite sure how to solve it.
Unfortunately I'm not much into Expressions right now...
Can you help me out on this?
