I am playing with my new Sony AS100v and am generally quite happy with it. Saturday I got some nice underwater shots of my grandson at the pool.
I've been experimenting with home interior walkthroughs using the stabilized 120 degree FOV and 1080p60. So far I am encouraged. I need to work out the best way to defish the footage. I've tried several techniques as follows:
1. ProDad Defisher and Prodrenalin - these work well except it reduces my 50Mbps footage to 16Mbps AVC. This may be acceptable for the walkthroughs but there will be other uses where the higher bit rate is needed.
2. New Blue ST Lens Correction this doesn't provide enough control to remove distortion from the top of the frame without adding distortion to the sides.
3. Sony Vegas Deform filter - this works well for most of the clip except for where the camera is tilted vertically such as when walking up or down stairs.
Premiere, After Effects and FCP all include nice defish filters. GoPro's software includes a defish filter. Sony sells a pretty nice sports/action cam. It would be great if SCS could enhance the Deform filter to handle defish well, and provide presets for the popular sports/action cams. In the meantime, is anyone aware of a defish plugin available for Vegas that works well and is affordable?
