    Hello there, I have a little problem in VEGAS Pro 14. I would like to mask myself twice into one video and the result is just as I suspected. But there are little glitches going along with the mask path, just as shown in the picture. They came back in another video I tried ro make. I did not applied some FX to the videos. I also payed attention to film with a tripod and not to change anything with the camera. Could someone please help me with the situation?

    Hi!

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think that they are glitches. Easiest way to fix or hide these sharp edges is to increase the feather. It will make the edges softer and hide the line between different shots.

    I thought that too, but when I increased the feather, I had to increase it this much that there was such a visible transition.

    You might try some color correction on both halves of this to even out the grey background. I don’t know if that will help or not, but that white line you are getting should be able to be blended so as not to see it at all. It should only take a small amount of feathering ..

    I’ve been doing stuff like this myself and wound up using a green screen. It saves you all the rotoscoping and allows for the clone images to cross over into the other side of the frame, one image behind the other.
