I blame Erik Anderson - vimeo.com/esquareda - who shoot some amazingly beautiful pieces using a Panasonic SD1 so off I go and get one figuring all I have to do is turn it on and point it at something...

I was not really sure how to edit this at all, but having downloaded and installed Vegas Platinum on my laptop things seem to work just fine, I used Eugenia's HD export tutorial vimeo.com/forums/topic:3671

Updated with some RAYNOX HDP-7700ES 3X tele shots at the end for total closeup of the birds, the shots on the feeder is all at full zoom, so you can really see what the 3X does at the end of the video, the lens seems good, but when held to a white wall it does show some vignetting.

And FINALLY - Using another Eugenia tutorial, I also managed to get the interlacing right, so this is now the 4th revision on the same 60 sec of video. but now it is working and what a differnece. for your Vegas Project settings see Eugenia eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/09/10/de-interlacing-with-vegas/
