Thanks Andrew. Registax 6 did not seem to want to know about multi-MB images so I had to do it by hand.

I tried a frew things: registax ^, AVIStack, a batch action in PS with the load into layers script and auto align. None of them worked. I ended up running an FFT align script in PixInsight that seemed to align 99% of the subs correctly. The ones with poor details due to seeing weren't registered so I moved them manually in PS. Here's my flow for this one:

1_ Load all RAW SONY files in LR Timelapse and Lightroom 4 to work out color balance, saturation, luminosity, levels, etc...

2_ Export all subs from Lightroom to scaled 16bit TIFF files.

3_ Run FFTRegistration.js in PixInsight. Edit line 756 to the following:

outputPath = this.outputDirectory + name + ".TIFF";

This will out put 16bit TIFF files instead of FIT files.

4_ Load all the resulting registered frames in AE or Premiere to output to H.264/Vimeo HD format.
