Hi,

I've got a few shots which were filmed with a rolling spider (http://www.ronfordbaker.co.uk/images/spider_pic1.jpg). The floor wasn't completely even in places so you can see a bit of a shake at times when the wheels go in between tiles. Is there anyway to fix this? vegas or after effects?

thanks!

Inside Vegas, a couple options are Mercalli and Boris. Then there's virtualdub. Or you could use AE. So there's several options available to you.

If you have AE I'd suggest using Stabilize Motion in Tracker Controls... there's a good tutorial at videocopilot (referenced from Mark Christiansen's book on AE) on using it, plus a nice smoothing technique: www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/stabilize_shaky_footage (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/stabilize_shaky_footage/)
