Videos from Monterey at DVinfo.net

We went to Monterey, CA, USA, this week and so I got a few videos up. To download and view files locally rename their .unk extension to .mp4.

This one with the jellyfish is my best work so far: http://vimeo.com/466491
Sea anemones: http://vimeo.com/466371
Monterey beaches: http://vimeo.com/466667
And the weakest of all, an old train: http://vimeo.com/463242

In the train video there are couple of places that look like fast pans and they are excessively smeared. Is it a post-effect or did it come out like this from the camera? They do not look natural to me, this is why I am asking.

hehe, it was done on purpose. Artistic choice. ;)

The beach looks nice, I liked the color grading. The necklace on the boulder is a nice shot, I was expecting a necklace owner in bikini running towards water in the next shot. ;)

You said it was shot in 60i, but I see stuttering on horizontal pans, I wonder why is that? Overzealous OIS, or my computer video card is just too slow?

>Overzealous OIS, or my computer video card is just too slow?

Could be both. Although I never get 30p pans that are nice and smooth with Vegas (the original 60i shots *are* smooth). I have tried disabling or enabling resampling, no cake.

I just did some tests, exported with and without resample and with interpolation and blend fields as de-interlacing methods, but it seems to be CPU power the culprit. When the video is exported in smaller sizes, the blurring during motion does not happen, but on larger videos that my CPU can barely manage, the problem is more obvious.
