The original video I am using is 1920x1080.

How can I stop the huge border when stabilizing video in After Effects 5.5? (screenshot attached to the post - ignore the 1609x1020 resolution of the image, I have a non-1080 resolution 22" monitor)

For the screenshot below, I am using the following settings:

Stabilization result: Smooth Motion
Stabilization smoothness: 50%
Stabilization method: Position, Scale, Rotation
Borders framing: Stabilize, Crop, Auto-scale.
Borders additional scale: 100%

I have tried...

Stabilization result: Smooth Motion
Stabilization smoothness: 50%
Stabilization method: Position, Scale, Rotation
Borders framing: Stabilize Only
Borders additional scale: 100%

... but although there is no major border any longer, there is still a smaller, moving border.

Any ideas?

What do you mean by "border", I mean how wide is it? Is it at all four sides of the video or just some of them?

As your playing it in Quicktime, I would assume you have rendered it out into a mov file? Looks like your render settings are wrong.
Remember though, you will get bars and lines appearing round the edges of you footage when stabilizing, as AE physically moves the video around in a 1920x1080 space.
