Yes, Put your curser at the point where you want it to change to normal, click on the video event there, and hit the s key. this slits the event there. you can the click on the event effects Icon located and the far right of each event, in your case click the one that plays first, add your film effect to that event only. Then to get it to fade to normal, put your curser at the beginning of the second event and drag it so it overlaps the first a little, the overlap length will determine the fade to normal time. You can treat your audio tracks the same way. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

What kind of camera and video format does it make?
Sounds like you don’t have the codec for that format -
I have been able to ket a good key with both Ultra and Keylight. If you post a link to download a small sample clip, I’ll see what I can do and give you the preset for it.

Either add one video at a time, dragging them to one track, or drag and drop then onto the same track.

Vegas is a CPU based program only, and no video card cpu makes a difference. So no, even the new I7s don’t give you full frame rate preview, especially with mp4s. Now maybe an I7 with regular dv might.
I capture HDV 1080i and set my preview to Preview, auto, and keep the window small enough to still see it somewhat clear, and do spot renders if I need to see full resoultion. Hope this helps, Danny Hays -
If the subject in not moving real fast, I use interpolate, blend if the subject is moving fast. Do a small test of a fast section and compare. you’ll see the blended fields, which makes the video smoother but not as clear. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

As John says, you can use Windows secondary monitor, and yes a DVI to HDMI cable will work for HD and SD, but a less expensive DVI to VGA adapter will also work if you have a VGA input on your HDTV. As far as using your PCI express slot for monitoring, I’m not sure yet. I am looking into the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle to do just that. I recently purchased the shuttle and a PCI Express USB 3 adapter and hard drive and when the shuttle arives (Come on Blackmagic, don’t advertise if you arent shipping yet) I will find out if it’s compatible with vegas or not. It will allow me to capture straight from the imager 10 bit 4.2.2 color space HD instead of the HDV through the firewire. This waiting for the Shuttle to arrive is killing me. LOL

Actualy, if you did this in vegas, you did a good job. There is no spill suppression in the Vegas keyer so lighting is very important. All I would have done different is to put the smallest amount of blur you can, and adjust so you can’t see the white outline on her left shoulder. Other than that, good job.
I won a national greenscreen contest with this video.

The loop points are the yellow arrows at the top of the timeline. Drag an arrow and move it where you want. Hope this helps, danny

Yes you will need a raid system IF you have to capture uncompressed, but not if you capture to motion JPEG which is supposed to look very little different from uncompressed but way smalleer file size, and without a raid array I believe. I’ll find out and post comparisons here when I get it. Danny Hays
