    Good afternoon,
    I am using Sony Vegas 10.0E and am trying to make the still picture I have imported to replace the green within an alpha area stay in place as the alpha area moves around on the screen, but I can’t accomplish it. I would like to lock the still picture to the alpha area, no matter where the alpha area moves around to. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help and for an informative forum,
    Jim

    Please confirm you have:

    – Green Screened Alpha on Track 1

    – Still Picture on Track 2

    Grazie

    Yes, I do. Here is what the screen looks like at one point. However, the cell phone moves around some, but the picture in it does not. I want the picture to move perfectly with the cell phone.

    If you’re not using a motion tracking tool like that found in Boris Continuum Complete, then you need to use keyframes to compensate for the movement.
    If there’s a lot of movement, you’ll need to use a lot of keyframes which means a lot of time to do this 🙁

    I was afraid of that. I was hoping for a way to simply lock the image to the alpha area and the two would move around together. Thanks for your help.
