1a2bcio8 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Need to know the editing softward before anyone can advice you. In the future though, just use the zoom function on your camera but only zoom a fraction or so. Similar to what you are currently suggesting except you won't lose any quality.

Fish eyes can be ok though, you just need the right type according to your camera. My fish eye has no such distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ben does make a pretty valid point. I'm pretty sure some people have actually glued their fisheye lenses on. Seriously, if I see one more video where someone's standing about 10ft from a wall filming a "sid" with a fisheye lens on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Frame by frame in Photoshop Most editors allow you to zoom in a certain amount on the clips you're using. If you can find that you could eliminate it in effectively the same way as zooming in when filming it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 unless there's an obvious "crop" setting in Roxio (not familiar with it myself) then I think it's time to reshoot any of your fish eye sections. p.s. happy to hear that your concentrating on lines and not moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Would it be worth using Sony vegas instead? could possibly get a copy of that, not sure if i can crop the clips down though. And i wouldn't say im concentrating on lines its still going to have single clips in, like a few drop gaps 'n stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Tea Why Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) There is a crop feature in Sony Vegas, if you get it hit me up and I'll show you what to do Edited June 30, 2008 by Mat Tea Why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
