OK, I have re done my AT-AT fall mini explosions. I kinda preferred my earlier more subtle version, I tried to add smoke plumes but it didnt work out great. However, think I got passed the De-interlaced problems.

Wondering which setting is correct though in sony vegas,

is it upper field first

lower field first,

or progressive scan.

PAL DV best or NTSC,

Anyhow, heres my clip....

Notice just as the AT-AT is blown to bits, i have included a subtle Shockwave.

I used the blur tool in photoshop and animated it blurring a dome as it goes boom. Very subtle so may need a few watches to notice it but it looks cool.

Shockwave is at approx.. 0:12
