Power Director 13 is the editor of choice for many owners of the Samsung NX1/NX500, since it edits H265 files natively. One of its features is a stabilizer.
I shot some crocuses with the NX1 and macro lens - crocuses are small and close to the ground, so you need to get up close and it is very difficult to use a tripod, so I did not. The result is a shaky, but not jittery, video. So I tried out the PD 13 stabilizer.
The first set of clips in this video are the native clips, stabilized only by the lens OIS - it does a pretty good job considering how close I was shooting - followed by the same clips using the PD 13 stabilizer. It is clear that the stabilizer crops the frame, so there must be some resolution loss. You can see how it did:

And here are some 4K frame grabs, just to show how well the lens focuses (on crocuses (!)). You can see from the blades of grass how small these flowers are.
Yeah, not a crocus.
And this one used manual focus (all the rest used CAF):
