    I need to make the tekst look like 3D in this clip(like it belongs there), and I want to give it a texture of a kind,metal,wood or something like that.

    Is there any tutorials on how to do this?

    Or can somebody guide me through it? 🙂

    One option is to create your 3D Texts in photoshop…..save
    as a photoshop file…..then import and animate in vegas.

    Okay 🙂
    I’ll try that, what format do I save my picture in, in photoshop?

    And can you make the picture so it’s possible to remove the alpha colour, if i make the background black/white?

    Save it as a PNG file with an Alpha Channel.

    You could also use a plug-in like Boris Continuum Complete BCC Extruded Text which will add 3D text right in Vegas Pro 10.0 that you could animate and move around in 3D space. I show you how in this tutorial:

    As long as your text is on a transparent background, save it in PSD, PNG or TGA format as all three support alpha channels.
    Vegas likes PNG so that’s my preferred format.

    Here are links to a two-part tutorial on creating metal faced 3D text in Vegas.
    Credit goes to Gerald Webb for making them.
    You can always modify it for whatever kind of texture you want.
