If you need a shot "fixed" because the EX1/EX3's rolling shutter created an unsightly distortion, here's something that might help: The Foundry - Overview (http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/pkg_overview.aspx?ui=47C4AB50-4636-4326-87D1-FB380B2119EF)

It's an After Effects plug-in. It could prove valuable if you're trying to use "pixel flow" in AE to create a slo-mo shot. If pixel flow is used with material shot with an EX1, there's often an odd distortion. This plug-in might help. Same with match-moves, tracking, etc.

I haven't tried it. Just passing the news along.

Nice but expensive, $500 for the single CPU. But it looks very interesting, I'll probably check it out and report back. Right now my JVC HM100 was the cure for those shots where I needed NO rolling shutter, but this could be helpful.

I didn't see anything there that would fix rolling shutter problems, and also it's PC, I'm Mac.

OK the link was correct, my problem isn't flashes, it's the warping effect created by quick movement. Thanks for sending the info.
