While Stabilization smoothes out wobbles by squashing them towards a central line, Motion Filtering deletes the extremities of a stroke’s wobbles without any squashing.

Motion Filtering is very similar to stabilization but uses more advanced algorithms. In the Pressure and Smoothing menu, use the slider to set the percentage of Stabilization you prefer. So, if you want your strokes to be straighter and look less like it is hand-drawn, then play around with Stabilization.

Stabilization also depends on the speed of your stroke, meaning that the faster you draw, the more it will smooth out a stroke. StabilizationĪccording to Procreate “Stabilization takes a moving average of a stroke and draws that on the canvas.” That means the higher the Stabilization, the more it will smooth out the wobbles in a stroke. To access stabilization and motion filtering settings go to Actions > Prefs > Pressure and Smoothing. Thanks to the new Procreate update, stabilization and motion filtering now can be applied to all brushes at once in the Pressure and Smoothing settings of Procreate. Stabilization and Motion Filter Settings.In this tutorial, I will show you how to adjust the Pressure Curve and apply Stabilization and Motion Filtering in Procreate. In calligraphy, you need to have precise control of your pen to create strokes that would vary in width. Pressure Sensitivity Curve adjustment is very important for every artist but it could be a game-changer for calligraphy and lettering artists. And tweaking Procreate’s Pressure Sensitivity will allow you to match Apple Pencil stability and sensitivity to the way you draw and write.

One of the settings that I always suggest adjusting is the Pressure Curve, which controls the way Procreate reacts to the pressure applied. It is always a good idea to adjust Procreate tools to your own preferences to have the best user experience.
