I always tick re-feed (10x) and realign when extracting but sometimes I still get bad micro-jitter.
In my experience manually tying to fix alignments often has little to no affect, especially if I'm already deep into training when I noticed a face is wobbling slightly in a particular scene.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to best avoid micro jitter or fix it?
I'm afraid not. It is not an issue that has impacted me for a long time. As I said, it is likely to be data related, so make sure you are well covered off on both sides for the scenes you are struggling with.
Selecting 'no flip' and 'no warp' has all but fixed this issue for me.
I trained up to a 1M iterations and still had some faces that were very blurry or had mad jittering. I've now trained another 60k iterations with 'no flip' and 'no warp' and it's made a MASSIVE improvement. Weird. I'm thinking I'll train this model for another 140k iteration to finish it off.
Another thing I discovered is that selecting Re Align during extraction can actually hurt the extraction in that some frames might be skipped altogether (especially profile faces) and not have an alignment written to them. I can upload the video I noticed this happening on for testing purposes if needed.
I'm having that micro jitter and the bad blurry face. I had 250,000 iterations. If I select "no flip' and 'no warp' and wait until I have over one million iterations will the blurry face really go away?

No, it should only take a few thousand iterations before you see a big improvement.
If the face is a total mess due to a scrambled face alignment you will need to fix the alignment manually via tools > manual.
If the face is recognizable but its blurry / low resolution or shaky, try clicking "no flip' and 'no warp.' This should drastically improve how it looks after 5 to 10k iterations.
