  RE: Video Export Help
  @mike-agiannidis Hi Mike. Glad to hear you not using digital zoom as that reduces resolution. Shooting at that frame speed is going to mean the camera has less exposure time between frames which will push the ISO settings up and introducing more

  RE: How to apply the ''Vegas 360 stabilization'' feature to video in MEP??
  @Apollo89x Any electronic or software based stabilization works by zooming in on the image. Even within a camera such as a Go-Pro, it is done that way. Mechanical stabilisation works by sensors measuring camera shake and then making the camera lens

  RE: Problems with shimmering of objects during turns in rendered 3D video
  Just to add to what John said, with a pair of unlinked cameras, the best you are likely to achieve is about half a frame accuracy in the software. This is because the camera shutters are not synchronised together and drift may lead to an even bigger
