Cutting out a moving image and placing it in another video?
I’m using Vegas Pro 11 and I would like to cut out a figure in an animation and place it in a video of the real world. Kind of like that movie from the 80’s, but no where near as complicated. I know how to crop out a still image, but is it possible with a moving image?
And along the same sort of lines. I would like to do a video of me talking while a video is playing, so I would be in a box in the top corner, commentating on the video that is playing in the rest of the screen. I hope I haven’t asked too much.
I would like to know if it is possible and any links to tutorials that could help me out.This is my first question here and I’ve had a lot of help in the past reading your replies, so thanks in advance for your help.

well… you just do that 30 time a second! 😉
Seriously, that’s what you need to do. You would create a mask around the first frame and then advance to the next frame and move the points of the mask to line up. It’s very tedious. This is is easier if you can isolate the animation on a solid background and then use Chroma Key to remove the background.

That’s commonly called “picture-in-picture” and it can easily be accomplished by using Track Motion to shrink your overlay track and reposition it in a corner.
