Multi-screen video in Vegas
Hi there, I have been making a few videos that have split screens of different music performers playing together. I’ve been using pan/crop and masking to do this in Vegas 14.
All is well but I had a question: I’ve been asked to do a bunch of videos with a choir that have a lot more screens. Not sure how many it could be yet but I know it will be quite a few.
I’m trying to think of a good method in which to do this that is simple and will look nice.
I thought of creating a frame grid first in Photoshop that has a transparent background, so I could easily divide up the space and create an even grid.
Then import this into Vegas as a top layer. From there I would resize and mask the videos while looking at the grid on top to help me get them all the same.Is there a more efficient way to do this? Thank you!

Me again
Vaguely remembered reading something about this a long time ago. Here’s the link. There were a few versions of this. The most updated one is at the bottom. Make sure you read the complete post.
Sounds promising. (never tried that one either)
Cheers !

Cool! Thanks!
Would this also work in Vegas 14? I think it said V8 or V9.Cheers

Hi Jono
If you read the whole post, you will see that he made mods along the way in response to comments about versions. I still have all of my Vegas versions starting from way back with V3. I still revisit some of them on account that some of the plugins that I like to use don’t work on some of the late versions.
If push comes to shove, I’m sure you can get a earlier trial version somewhere that will work with the plugin if you can’t make it work with yours.
Cheers !
