Can this burn effect be done in Vegas?
Here is an example. First real time, then slowed down:

Vegas does not have a burn film effect as does Boris but you can certainly mimic this with the flash FX within Sony. It is a quick flash effect with a bit of color added to it. Play around with it and I am sure you can get pretty close. There is nothing really to entailed here.

It’s more than a flash. The bright parts of the frame turn white the fastest, followed by the darker. So it’s as if the natural light sources are being amplified until everything reaches white. Then the reverse happens on the shot coming in. It’s almost as if the light gets sucked back into its source.

Yes I saw that but without a burned filmed FX the best you can come to it would be to use flash and perhaps also use color correction and keyframe the highlights to follow the flash. Glow FX might also give some lattitude, so you will just have to find what combo works for you without having the FX for it.
The FX happens so quickly I am unsure many would notice, except the editor of course. Best of everything

Cool. Thanks for your input. I did something with the Sony Rays effect that has that aspect of manipulating the light levels inherent in the frame. It would be perfect if you could get the rays to just be 2D and vertical, but you can’t.

I have made one using Sony Glow and Linear Blur. Veg file is attached here.

It’s not exactly the same, but did you try the Sony Vegas Pro Transitions:Flash:Hard Flash? It very close to what you are looking for and is very EASY to use. Just overlap your two video events for whatever time you want this flash transition to occur, then drag the Hard Flash transition onto the overlapping events area. Done.
More complicated would be to put a Sony Media Generators:Solid Color (white) event for the amount of time you want the flash to occur. Put this on a new track above the one you want to have the transition for. Set the tracks Compositing Mode (on the track header) to Dodge. Next, right-click the header and select Insert/Remove Envelope: Composite Level. This will put a Composite Level line across the top of the track. On the left edge of the white solid event, right-click on the Composite Level line to Add a Point. Add a point at the mid-point of the white solid event, and one final point at the right edge of the white event. Drag the left and right points down to Composite Level = 0%. Doing all this will automate the white “flash” to go from 0% visible at the start, to a maximum of 100% at your mid-way point, then back down to 0% at the end of the event. Just depends on how much control you want to have of the process, and how much time you want to spend.

Nice! I tried the compositing method. Looks good as well. I am really impressed with all the things you can do with compositing in Vegas.
