I was told that you can stabalize video in AE. The footage I have is just a little shakey and I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate any advice concerning ways to stabalize video in AE. Thank you

Also, if you stabilize the footage, you'll end up with black wedges where the layer tilts back and forth during the stabilization.
To get rid of those, you need to:
1) Scale up the layer (not real desirable if there was a lot of shaking originally), or
2) Often you can get away with Effect>Stylize>Motion Tile. Then check the "Mirror Edges" box and change the Output Width and Output Height to 150 (or whatever it takes to cover the gaps).
You could use a combo of the two.
3) If you over-sampled in the shooting, like shooting HD for end an product of broadcast NTSC, you can stabilize the HD footage, then drop that into an NTSC comp, positioning it so the black wedges don't show.
