barrel distortion

Hi everyone, I did a couple of very short interviews where the persons were a little too close to my camera.
I have a pd-150 with a wide angle lens on it. Is there anyway to adjust or fix this in Vegas. I've been experimenting with the plugin 'Deform', seems to 'kind of work'. Not too convinced yet. Thanks in advance.

Try a tiny bit of the Pinch/Punch filter. Depending on how bad the distortion is, probably something in the -0.100 range might do well. It won't be perfect, but if you can correct the center of the person's face then whatever distortion is left over elsewhere will probably go unnoticed.

With a mix of Pinch/Punch and Deform, I was able to correct it quite well.

Thanks very much
