Vegas 13 FX mask
Hi,
One interesting new feature of Vegas 13 is that It’s possible to mask effects.
However I did not found the way to apply an effect to the whole image, and mask another effect.
(I may overlook something)To make it clear: I almost always have to tweak the image in color/contrast, etc, usually color curves, sometimes color corrector.
(Colormatch looks promising, as well :))
So let’s say, I need a color curve for the whole image, and a blur for a portion of it. Is that possible with only one clip/track using masking effects?
Otherwise I have to do it the old way using 2 tracks and masking the top one…
Thanks … -

Applying a Mask to the FX is All or nothing. You cannot just have it apply to some FX and not the others in the chain. This is unfortunate I agree.

Thanks, so I’m not that blind that couldn’t find the way.

Put in another kf select the fxs you want then apply another with the fxs you want or not want. Won’t that work?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. What is a “kf”?
For what I want to achieve in the above example, I need the clip on 2 tracks. The topmost has all the effects, the below one only the effect(s) I need to apply to the whole image. Then I crop/mask the topmost clip, so that only a portion of it is visible, on which I need the “masked effect”.
I used to do this technique many times with Vegas 10.
Now I’m just exploring my new Vegas 13, and at a first glance, this effect masking thing looked promising for tasks like this, and there would no need to double the clip.
But seems I was wrong, it does not work this way 🙂Kind regards

[Graham Bernard] “KF = Key Frame”
Oh, I see. So I understand what you mean.
And no, keyframes are for changing some parameters in time.
This is something different.Kind regards.
