Pulsating Text Effect in Sony Vegas
Hi everyone,
I was wondering how i could acheive a smooth realistic ‘pulsating’ kind of text effect that is similar to what’s in this video here.
I’ve been hired for a local DVD production of a Motorbike Rally event that’s held each year and i wanna step up the production value this year with a cool opener to the high octane music. Keyframing the only way?
This is the video:

I actually showed how to do this in yesterday’s Boris FX Webinar on BCC8 using the Beat Reactor but BCC8 for Vegas Pro is still in beta and not available yet. 🙁
I’m guessing that clip was made in After Effects with Beat Reactor. Yea, the only other way is with lots, and lots, of keyframing. If you can wait for BCC8 to be released, it would be very easy to do. Or if you need it now and can get someone with AE and BR to do it for you, that’s another option.

I have bad experiences with Boris in Vegas plus audio. Even RED on a Windows machine has still problems with audio. If I had to make something like this, I would go to After Effects and use Red Giants Trapcode Sound Keys. That works perfect!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess keyframing is the way. I just wanted to a bring a new element to the text and and pull the text in with this scratchy shaky pulsating sort of look to add to the grit of an event involving speed and mud haha. I’ll just have to keyframe and play around with film effects ect… to achieve the grit look.
I thought a shortcut to make the text a little jumpy would be to add the Old Film Effect and just bring up the Jitter but black bars bounce up and into the frame, is there a way to just make the text jitter instead of having a black parts of a frame jumping over the content?

Yea, drag the Pan/Crop after your Film Effect and crop out the black edges.
