  BFx preview nice – Vegas throughput skewed

  Posted by Dave Felder on February 12, 2011 at 8:59 pm

  I’m creating a spinnning newspaper effect. Both Vegas 9 and BFX 9 are set for 1280 x 720.

  I put a TIFF image of a newspaper onto my timeline, add the Boris Effect and set my “rotation (Z)” and scale parameters to get the desired spinning and growing effect, and add a radial blur to make it look more realistic. If I preview to RAM inside Boris it looks good.

  When I close Boris and look at it in the Vegas Program window, the entire image is skewed a few degrees.

  I’ve tried added the TIFF directly into Boris instead of passing from the vegas timeline but it doesn’t help.

  The z axis settings are:
  0sec: -8/-180 degrees, decelerate Scale 5% X&Y
  5sec: 0/-18 degrees, hold Scale 40% X&Y
  20 seconds 0/-18 degrees, hold Scale 80% X&Y

  I’ve also rendered the work out to a QT file, figuring it might be the Vegas preview, but the image is definitely skewed – it looks almost like a diamond.

  If I turn off the rotation completely, the image grows in perfect rectangular shape, so the issue is either the Z axis rotation, or the way I’m applying it.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Dave,

  If you can send me the BFX settings file I’d be happy to take a look at it to see if I can understand the reason behind the result you are seeing. You can send that to me via email at peterm@borisfx.com

  Cheers,

  Peter.
