  Could you be more specific?

  You can, in Boris RED for example, use a Wacom table to draw a picture or word and then play it back. This is a function of RED being able to animate the splines that you draw. I do this to draw a title as if it were handwriting.

  Thanks John,

  Thats exactly what I meant. I want to write a title or draw a sketch and have that as a motion graphic that can be used in Vegas.

  Any other software? My pockets are not deep enough for Boris RED.

  Sorry, I was just using RED as an example because that’s what I use. You can also do this with Boris FX 9 which is considerable less expensive than RED. You may even qualify for a discount if you had the LE version that came with Vegas a few versions ago. That would be considered an upgrade price.

  If you seriously consider buying Boris FX I would ask when the new version is coming out for Vegas Pro 10 because this will have much better integration. In the mean time, you can probably complete your video now with the trial version which is fully functional for 14 days.
