Hi, If the horizon is "static" but rotated then you can just use the motion tab to rotate it without using a stabilizer.
Or am I mistaking you? Lock & Load will smooth out any jitter or shake on the shot regardless and if its rotated then you should just use the motion tab to rotate the horizon back to level and zoom in slightly.

Ah, of course! An easy solution, I was making it too hard. I check it out with the trial version. Thanks for the rapid response (both here and to my direct inquiry! :-D ).

OK, so I downloaded the trial version and installed it.
L&L shows up in the Effects->Video Filters->C2 Lock and Load -> Lock and Load.
I apply that to a clip that has in and out points set and the time index set within the in and out points.
A small message appears in the view window that says "No tracking data..."
I select the Filters Tab and under Video I see the Lock & Load pane. It also says "No Tracking Data" everything is grayed out except the "Track Motion" button.
I click the track motion button and after about a 2 second delay get:
"Couldn't start Motion Tracking
Please bring the related sequence to the front, move
the time slider over the clip, and make sure Lock and
Load is enabled."
What's going on???????
This is with FCE4 on a Notebook, dual core, 3 GHz, 4 Gb memory, running on an Iomega 1 Tb disk over firewire. System is up to date.

Hi, is the timeline slider actually parked on the clip that you just added when you get this error? Please add the plugin again, double click on the clip to make sure the filter controls are selected and then try and press track motion.
