Film Stoping Effects
I’m looking for a way to make it look as though my video is playing on a film projector, and somebody comes up and yanks the film out of the projector. I know I’ve seen things like this before, film becoming unthreaded and sliding out of frame.
I can’t seem to find any sample video of this type of thing to use as a model, however. Maybe I just don’t know the proper key words. I can find lots of samples of film being melted by the bulb, but no type of film malfunction like the one i am describing

OK . .. Here’s a very ROUGH Vegas created option. It just shows that you may be better off tracking down an expensive FX that will do it?
Here’s my feeble attempt. It can be made longer. It’s only an “indication” what is possible with Vegas:

Ryan,
I had a quick go at it, using only Vegas Pro 10. Much like Graham’s sample, this is what I imagine you’re talking about.
If this is close, let me know and I can tell you how I did it. Part of what helps to “sell” the effect, is sound effects. I didn’t take the time to add any, but I’ve found a film projector sound that I would add to this to help sell it.

These are both pretty close, thanks guys. Only thing is when the film gets ripped off it should take a bit longer, maybe 3 seconds total?, and you shouldn’t see the film sprocket holes at first. If you guys feel like taking another shot at this maybe you could use blue or green screen footage so it will be easy for me and all others to use this effect with our own footage?
I’m kinda surprised none of us can find an actual sample of this somewhere, I swear I used to see it all the time.

Is this closer? The movement and direction of the film sliding can be controlled by Parent Motion of the film strip “Parent” and the “Child” actual video (Jeep in my case). This is just keyframed over time.
Also, I would probably add some of the Sony Vegas Film FX (dust, scratches, jitter, etc.) when the film strip “jumps”, or possibly, just before it does so.

The timing is perfect. however when the film slips away, it should be surrounded by black, you seem to have a white rectangle in the middle of your background. Also, when it slips out, it needs to show the entire strip of film, right now it is only one “frame” or box.” Understand?
If you save your project down to version 8 (still what i’m running) i can make these changes, add the green screen, and re post the project here (we can post files here right?).
