  • Problem with iris transition

    Posted by Michal Bronec on January 26, 2013 at 3:19 pm

    I’m looking to do one of those old fashioned fade outs where the corners of the screen fade to black and end up moving towards the center in a circular form. I cant figure it out how to do it. I tried transition called iris, but it doesnt work. There are two choices – circle in anc circle out – one of them starts as black screen which fades into a black circle and the other starts as a black circle which fades into black screen. How shoudl I reverse it? I dont want a black circle, but a black iris.

    Just use the (Default) preset and change the Direction to Iris In and it should start fading from the corners into a circle in the center that gradually disappears.

    If you are using Vegas12, you can use the new mask feature in Pan/crop.
    It will allow you to put an oval, circle, square, etc on the event and then using the Keyframe you can enlarge it, etc.
    The new mask also allows you to soften the edges.

    I am using Vegas 11.

    “Default” and “Iris in” doesnt work like that in my Vegas (its black frane fading out in black circle).

    The problem is I cant turn the GPU acceleration on.

    The only way how to do it is split the event in the point where I want the transition and do the transition on the left side of the second half of the event.

    Setting Iris to “Iris In” works for me… i.e I put a 5 second fade at the end of the clip I want to fade, drop the Iris transition on it and in the pop-up dialogue set it to Iris In, and add some feathering.. voila!
    No masks, no keyframes, just good ol’ Vegas.

    This is what is does:

    Is that not what you want?

    If not, please post a picture of what you were expecting because I’m not understanding you.

    [Michal Bronec] “The problem is I cant turn the GPU acceleration on.”

    That was a particular bug in GPU acceleration. If you don’t have a compatible GPU then you shouldn’t have that bug affecting you.

    See the picture I posted in this thread and tell me if that’s what you are looking for.

    As you can see the second problem is that its not a circle! 🙂
    Maybe a bug in Sony Vegas 11?
