Set Point smoothing delay

Hey guys. I've been meaning to examine the latency associated with different amounts of Set point smoothing. PTB v0.52 (releasing soon) now plots set point smoothing latency. This can be very useful. Ideally, we want the most smoothing possible that's not noticeable, and of course there are likely a lot of individual differences in the degree to which we notice delay. But now you can plot this and think about what works best for you. But besides that, even if you are able to notice delay, there is value in a heavily smoothed set point in making ultra smooth reel-steady-go-like footage. Once you get below the ~10Hz range, it has potential to really remove all the 'edges' in the footage, and certainly worth exploring. This is a topic worth a lot more research. I hope this video sparks some interest.
