FASST Apps Titlestrip vs Production Assistant 2

[Timothy Mccauley]

John,
And I just sent you back one

[Timothy Mccauley]

Here is an update on my download issue for VASST’s FASST APPS. The issue is probably buried in this forum now, but basically, last weekend, I and others were not getting the serial numbers from VASST’s computers for the two free apps VASST was offering. In my case, I altered John Rofrano of the issue and assured him the email was not going to my junk/spam folder. Within a day, I was advised they had found the issue on their in and was working to fix it. They must have worked on it all night, because at 1:30 am on Tuesday, I received the serial numbers in an email and my account information on VASST’s site was updated with the serial numbers.

Good customer service only makes up one part of a company. The products they sell makes up the other part. I now own eight FASST APPS: Audit Assistant, Cinema Look Vol 1, Event Tool, Marker Editor, Property Assistant, Still Motion, Title Strip 1, and Voice Assistant. I haven’t worked with all of these apps yet, mostly Still Motion and Property Assistant on a large photo montage I’m currently have going. I am using Vegas 11 with them.

Still Motion and Property Assistant is all they say it is. With Still Motion, I drop the photos on the timeline, select my options and hit the Apply Still Motion green button. I use to spend hours selecting transitions and messing with the pan/zoom on each photo. Not anymore. Still Motion can arrange your photos randomly on the timeline, use all your transitions in Vegas or can limit the transitions and pan/zoom options to a few you like. Prior to using Still Motion, I was using Photodex which took a lot of time. Then if I made a mistake, I’d have to go back into Photodex, fix the mistake, re-render the file, and start over in Vegas. With Still Motion you can fix a mistake, make adjustments to individual photos, insert photos between events, and apply selected options to your events in several ways on the timeline.

And did I mention that Still Motion works with video as well. I had several small video clips I was putting together. I used Still Motion to apply the transitions and boom it was done. Everything was perfect.

I am finding Property Assistant is a real time saver as well. I have only used it to turn off the Maintain Aspect Ratio on all my photos and to normalize the audio tracks. Now with Property Assistant, I select the events (photos) I want to apply the options to, hit the Apply Property Assistant green button, and I am done. Along this same line, I hope that VASST will come out with an app to deal with the annoying Group option features in Vegas.

Don’t hesitate to buy the apps. They are reasonably priced and right now you can purchase them at a discount from VASST.com or Sony Creative Software. They work and the company will respond to your concerns/questions. And the other good thing I found about FASST APPS. They don’t crash my version of Vegas like so many other apps I have tried.

In closing, I’d like to thank John Rofrano and the support staff at VASST for their prompt attention to the problem mentioned. FASST APPS has made using Vegas a lot less painful.

Thanks for the kind words Tim. I’m glad you are enjoying them and I look forward to making more.

I Know this is an older thread, but I came across this statement you made:

“The first 4 TitleStrips are the same content as GraphPak 1 & 2 in Production Assistant 2 so from a content standpoint you already have these lower thirds.”

–
Since I use the Production Assistant for Vegas Pro, where does one buy more GrafPak’s to add to the Production Assistant program? I could not find any listing anymore on vasstsoftware.com or sundancemediagroup for the GrafPak’s.

Looking at the wayback machine, it appears there was a lot of GrafPak’s. GrafPak-3 Wedding, GrafPak-4 Worship, GrafPak-5 Holiday and 3 other libraries.

Is there a way of getting these to incorporate into PA?

Thanks.

Hi François, We are in an unfortunate situation where we can’t sell anything right now since Sony was our exclusive distributor and they closed their Partner Page when they sold Vegas Pro to MAGIX. We are investigating alternate distribution channels but we currently have none. So right now, there is no way to purchase additional GrafPaks. ☹

Hi John,

Thanks for the update. I did look at the Partner page at SCS as well, and the links no longer work. I hope Vasst can find an alternate distribution route since you have some amazing plug-ins for Vegas Pro.

Thanks again.
