How do you layer multiple Video Tracks
Hi,
I’m new to the forum and Sony Vegas. How do you layer multiple video tracks to get the following effect: See this sample video clip.

I would like to create a similar video clip of me playing all four members of a rock band. I’ve already filmed 4 separate video clips. Now I want to layer or merge them in to one file. Here’s my first attempt:
I can see you and the guy in the directors cut didn’t use chromakeying. The guy walking in second has a reflection in the tv, not keyed. You have floor shadows which the Vegas chromakey feature doesn’t do. As long as the camera settings (manual mode I hope) it’s position and the lighting don’t change and you and shadows don’t overlap each other like your doing when you both are singing on the same mic, you can use event pan and crop with the setting set like in my pic, uncheck the two boxes in red and set the others in red to no, you can crop each of you left and right to take up only their space. This way you won’t have to lower the video level on upper tracks to see the ones below, I assume that’s what your doing. If the lighting or camera position is changed at all, you will be able to see a seam where one of you stops and another starts. Hope this helps, Danny
Danny, Thanks for your input. I’ll give a try.
