    Hi all,

    I am currently trying to produce these visual effects, as seen on many movies ie. predator, navy seals etc.

    1- thermal vision (as if looking through a scope/binocculars, the hot spots being yellow, to red to green etc.)

    2- night vision (like through night vision goggles, with the green, or grey tones )

    3- sonar (similar to the Terminator, looking through his eyes with the red on black look.)

    Are any of these effects possible with vegas 6.

    Would I be able to use raw footage with these effects, or would it need to be green screened?

    Any advice, or points in the right direction would be awesome!

    Thanx for reading,
    Carson

    I think I can help with the night vision.

    Add in Min&Max, Color Balance and Brightness & Contrast filters in event FX.
    Then turn down all channels but Green in Color Balance,
    Turn down brightness.
    Turn down contrast a bit.
    increase MinMax values to get a low res look if you like.
