cheers everyone.....
and Muhz, its the edges of the vig that drives me nuts, always some pixelation on the edges of my videos (as well as around the skater on some shots)
think I might try a new setting and 4:3 next time (did ProRes to H.264 this time, gonna try Mpeg2 next time).... hate the vig SO MUCH (but hate cropping even more)
