    Posted by Momo Detouba on November 16, 2015 at 11:23 am

    Hello guys, I got a question how to crop small parts of the video that I wanted and I can move it freely. (Like I can move it to very right or very left without losing the parts of the video.)

    Like this

    However what I can do is this one only

    I cannot move it to very left as it will see other parts of the video. I hope you know what I mean.

    Just tell me how to do like the first picture there from the full video and cut small parts then can move freely
    of that small parts video.

    Thank you so much!

    Use Pan/Crop to crop the video and use Track Motion to move it into place.

    There is also a Mask feature there you can use, for further precision!

    Good point. If you have Vegas Pro you can use the Mask but Movie Studio does not support masks so Pan/Crop + Track Motion will work on both.

    If you of have Vegas Pro, here is a tutorial on my web site that shows you how to use a Mask to do the same thing:

    Thank you so much now I finally can continue my video, but can I ask twice question in one post? I hope can.

    But I can’t figured this out, i wanna make my video end with linear wipe effect, but can I color the line?

    In the meantime it can change the video but with colored line wipe effect. Can I really do that in sony vegas?

    Like this –

    And line effect in sony vegas does not have any option to color the line..

    How do I do that? A colored line wipe effect..

    In Vegas Pro V10, go to the Transitions tab and select Push In Right, Yellow Border. Once you’ve put this transition onto the two events, you can change the color of the border. You can also control which direction the “wipe” moves, how thick the line is and whether it’s sharply defined or has the edge feathered.

    That seems okay but any way for linear one?

    Not natively in Vegas Pro. You would have to create the line with Generated Media and keyframe it to follow the linear wipe.

    Boris Continuum Complete has BCC Linear Wipe which has a border parameter but you would have to buy BCC to get it.

    The link you provide wants to install some sort of “video player”, which my anti-virus software says is UNSAFE. For that reason, unable to see what you are trying to accomplish. Not sure what you mean by “… but any way for linear one”. The PUSH video effect would do what I think you are trying to accomplish. Did you try it at all? In the video effect dialog box, if you select the Push off previous image checkbox, the original picture will be “pushed” off the screen by the new incoming image (with a line between the two that you can control the color and width of). If you don’t select the Push off previous image checkbox, the original picture will “slide over” the existing picture. See the screen shot of the wipe in progress below.

    I believe what he wants is a Linear Wipe not a Push.

    Vegas does have Linear Wipe but it’s under Transitions!
