No extra charge huh?

Yeah, it’s a freebie. LOL. For owners of V4 SAL, it’s $79 US, which I think is a bargain. That includes both the Stabilization and CMOS fixer plug-ins. The 20% discount seems good through the end of October.

Well, I went through the upgrade option – having the SAL already – and it “appears” I am paying for the SAL again. Look at the list on the proforma. I could be wrong.

Here’s what I get for upgrade from SAL to the Suite.

Once I enter my SAL activation code, I get this.

I seems you’re only paying for the 2 plug-ins.

Yeah, I went further than that screen and the next screen lists SAL aswell.

I purchased the package, as the reviews and demos are amazing.

Here’s what I got …

A fully functional standalone product
A CMOS plugin for Vegas that I cannot register (it rejects my code)
A Mercalli plugin for Vegas that doesn’t even appear in the effects list.

I’ve emailed for help; we’ll see what they say. But so far I’m (obviously) not very happy.

So, this is interesting …

Customer Service was able to get my CMOS plugin working (they don’t have a solution, yet for the absent Mercalli plugin) …. but the CMOS plugin is acting weirdly.

This is source video … https://www.dropbox.com/s/4iwn36n8m5vayi9/G0016077.mp4?dl=0

The CMOS Fixer plugin produces this output, with a really weird flicker on the left side of the frame.

Note, that that’s the side covered up by the “source” when you have the system set for horizontal compare … you’d never see this when testing until you do an actual “results” output.

The same results happen with the SAL+ application, as well …

Lol i used your orignal clip and stabilized it with SAL4+
with intensive repair with level 6.

But i have other problems see my clip:

[Jonathan Deitch]

Wow …that wobble is something else.

the clip I did, something’s gotta be wrong in the CMOS Fixer functionality … the LEFT side has issues, but the RIGHT side does not …

Makes me really wonder …

[Jonathan Deitch]

Ok, so new clip …

The previous one used a rubber shock mount on the GoPro, which may have produced wobble past what prodad can handle.

This clip is a straight mount w/a bicycle seat-post mount clamp. It seems much a much better output …

Remember this is CMOS fixer only … no Mercalli.

you can really see how the CMOS plugin stabilizes things.

this one it almost looks like (yes, pardon the pun) the camera is on rails.
