    Hey,
    I haven’t used Vegas Pro much, but I have a project I need to do and I thought it would be the best program to use. I need to film someone speaking then edit it so that there is a window inside the video showing a powerpoint (I can easily convert powerpoint to a video file)
    I have attempted to do this but it looked terrible. What is the best way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Ilan

    Hello, what i would do is open the power point, press Save As and change from ppt to JPEG (now each slide is a JPEG in its folder).

    Now, switching to Sony Vegas.
    We need 2 video tracks created
    track #1 move the power point JPEG slides too
    track #2 move the video of the speaker too

    Once done, you should only see the power point slides covering the video of the speaker.
    On the buttons for track #1 look for track motion and click it. It will bring up a window. Move that window around so you can see the preview window. Take one of the corners of the gray outlined box and scale it down to your desired size. You should see it that what you are doing is effecting you preview window. Click and hold on the inside of the gray box and move it to the desired location, while still looking at the preview.

    Here is a youtube video explaining this.

    Good Luck

    Take a look at Singular Software’s Presto product.

    Cheers for now,
