At first glance, it looks like your mail server can't talk to 
sourceforge, perhaps something to do with your mail server's TLS 
configuration. It's not obvious to me from the error message.

In answer to your question, you're looking for image tracking. Most 
compositing packages have this, but CinePaint does not. Somebody 
contributed some code to do it in CinePaint, but it's still sitting 
there waiting for someone to integrate it.

CinePaint has no concept of video, only image sequences. You'd convert 
to image sequence using another tool, open the sequence in the CinePaint 
flipbook, reposition each frame using onion-skinning, save it, and 
export it back to video.

This would be an interesting example to show on the CinePaint website if 
you go ahead. Let me know.

  /most/ of the time I'm pretty good at it, but now and then the rocket 
is either /really/ fast, or "has an anomaly" during flight where it 
makes a sudden turn...  In cases like this, the primary subject of what 
I'm looking to "stabilize" has actually left the boundaries of the frame 
-- I don't know of any software that will correct for that :)

rocket, or some significant part of it like a fin, is in the same 
position for each frame.  For the first 100 feet or so, the "background" 
will be the ground and some mountains in the distance, but after a short 
while the background will be sky and clouds, so I don't' need to worry 
all that much about edge clipping (I can fake the sky much easier than a 
mountain)
