Sony Vegas moving anchor nodes PROBLEM!
I’m extremely frustrated right now because I can’t figure out how
to move my Anchor Tool Creation nodes for a moving mask.What I mean is, I can move them, but they don’t move smoothly.
I’ve watched about 10 youtube tutorials and they all say the same thing
and it works for them but not for me.Here’s what I did (what they all say):
1) click off the mask anywhere
2) click on Normal Edit Tool
3) click on the mask again
4) select any node you wish to move
5) click and drag it to your liking
DONE.Not for me. When I click on a node to adjust it, it won’t allow me
to adjust it smoothly. It will move in giant BLOCKS or GAPS so that I can’t
get it exactly where I need it. If I move the node just a millimeter, it won’t move a millimeter, it moves an entire inch in a block or rectangular fashion!Can anyone please help me and why it’s doing this?
Thanks

It sounds like you have Snapping enabled. Press the icon on the left labeled Enable Snapping (Hold Shift to Override) so that it is disabled or just hold the SHIFT key to override while you drag.

Ah yes! Thank you now that’s much more smooth!
Another thing I just encountered is while I’m in the middle of plotting
down my anchor points, sometimes it will suddenly give me this “curve” line
option but I don’t want it. I’m just tracing the outline dropping nodes
but this curve line option that appears really annoys me because I have to
double click that node to turn off the curved option.Is there anyway to prevent that curved option from appearing while dropping
anchor nodes? If I want the curve option, I can summon it myself i think.For example, when I’m doing a straight line from one end to the next, this curved option appears on my node and it ends up curving that straight line into a curve. So annoying!

oh it seems that unchecking the snapping tool has also stopped that curved option from appearing while masking.

The Bezier curve points happen when you click and “drag”. Be careful just to click and not move the mouse while you are clicking.
