    Hey there :3

    I’m new to Vegas and I was hoping someone could explain or show me a good guide on how to do the things mentioned in the tile.

    Basically what I want to be able to do is take a clip from say an anime episode and cut out or make it so only one person is there? Does this make sense?

    I’ll try to explain it better: Say the clip is of two people walking. Is is possible to somehow get rid of everything else but the one person walking including the background? I guess I could show an example if needed 😀

    Look here for green screen info (although your text is not describing chroma key):

    Hi ya Lola, what you’re describing is not Chromakeying or (GreenScreening). To do what you want, it would have to be done by KeyFraming a Bezier Mask, and it would be an extremely boring drawn out task to do, frame by frame. Basically a Bezier mask can cut out any shape out of a video, so as your actor moved you would have to change the shape of the mask on each frame. It’s doable, but it’s a task and a half if you have to do it over many frames. It’s easy to do if the object or actor is stationary. Hope that helps a bit? Now if you simply wanted to add yourself to the existing footage, that would be easy, and done with GreenScreening.

    Rob,

    Noooo!! I was afraid that was going to be the case. I did manage to do something like that but as soon as the character moved it got messed up, which is where doing it frame by frame or untill the character moves comes in.

    Like you said, it’s doable but will take a while 😛
    Thanks so much for helping me :3
