Image stabilization software

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I did some Googling and came across a couple of standalone image
stabilization programs, but I was wondering if a plugin exists for
Vegas?

Sounds great!

Would this be the first operation you perform on the video?

Yeah. The first pass I would do directly in VirtualDub, and then I'd
frameserve the second pass using VFAPIConv. (In my experience, Vegas
can't open vdr files directly)

Check out http://mythhelper.sourceforge.net for download links.

Got to http://www.videohelp.com/guides and select "frameserve" in the "How
To" drop-down box (it's in the EDIT category) for links to a number of
articles.
The article at http://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?link=99 is probably the
most useful.

Sounds good Mitch. Get busy shooting - and then even busier editing :-)
