  • Placing Multiple Images

    Posted by Wayne Jenkins on June 7, 2011 at 6:07 pm

    I’m am very new to Sony Vegas. I’m currently using version 10. Somebody gave me a task to take an map image of the United States and then wanted me to place little flags across the states marking locations of their factories.

    I thought this was simple enough, but I was wrong. 🙁

    I created a video track and have several flag images and below that I have a separate track with the USA Map image. As each flag is displayed, it’ll vanish and introduce the next image.

    My question, how to I place a flag on my map. Keep it there and bring in a new image to place on my map without the others vanishing?

    Thank you for helping me

    You need a separate track for each flag. So if you have 20 flags, you need 20 tracks plus the background track.

    Thanks Jr.

    I truly appreciate the super fast response!

    That took care of my main problem, and now I’ve run into a new one. LOL

    I want to display my USA Map image and drop 1 flag into it’s proper place on the map and then after it’s in place, another flag will fall into it’s place then so-on & so-on. I know how to animate them with key frames to drop my flag down, but how do I do each flag while keeping the last one on the screen?

    Very Grateful

    Drop flag #1 into place and drag it out as long as required.
    Drop flag #2 in place and repeat the above.
    Continue until all flags are in place.

    Duh…. 😛 I should have known that considering I’ve been playing with other video features where I need to stretch out the video.

    Can you tell I’m a total newbie? 🙂

    Thank for the reminder. I very much appreciate it. 🙂

    That’s where I’d like to be sometime.

    in 1981 I purchased my first PC, a few years after countless trips to get it fixed and upgraded I was repairing them myself and answering questions for newbies. I always enjoy helping others with technical stuff.

    Thanks again 🙂
