    What specifically are you referring to in the video?

    I know that while the actual song is playing, it’s a picture. How were they able to make the tape spin and the levels go up and down.

    I actually think that is actual video of the boombox playing.

    I do believe it could be done using multiple layers in Vegas. You would need a picture of (only one) tape reel, and then make it look like it’s turning by setting the center point of the picture to be the center of the tape reel and then keyframing it to move so many degrees on the Z axis, causing the reel to “rotate” about the center of the reel. I would try to match the time per revolution to the existing video you reference (i.e. if the tape is going at 3 seconds per revolution, I would keyframe to have the reel rotate 360 degrees every three seconds, then repeating the keyframes every 3 seconds for as long as the song plays. You would duplicate the other reel on another layer and keyframe it as well. You would need to have a picture of the boombox front (lots of them at google images) and make the tape transport area transparent (so you can see the tape reels rotating in a lower layer). I would use a png format picture for this, which could be done in Photoshop. The LED levels meter could be done, but would be very tedious, again with little green squares on different layers that would turn “on and off” to match the level of the music. You might be able to find some sort of LED light animation on line if you look hard. I believe it could all be done with Vegas, but it would be very time consuming, especially the LED level meters.

    Quickly played around in Vegas and got the basics of what you want. I’m attaching a Vegas Pro 10.0 file you can play with if you’re so inclined.
