1. A method of stabilized viewing of spherical video content, comprising:
obtaining a spherical video having a progress length;
obtaining a trajectory of viewing direction for the spherical video, the trajectory of viewing direction including viewing directions for moments within the progress length of the spherical video;
generating a stabilized trajectory of viewing direction for the spherical video based on multiple margin constraints, separate margin constraints limiting deviation of the stabilized trajectory of viewing direction from the trajectory of viewing direction with respect to separate axes of rotation for the viewing directions; and
generating a stabilized video based on the stabilized viewing trajectory of viewing direction for the spherical video.
