Try this. Import media, drop the type down and select any, all files. then point to the DVD and import the VOB files, and then save the project to your hard drive as Vegas will try to play the files from the DVD otherwise. As far as the 5.1 dolby audio, I am not sure if Vegas will decode an AC3 file into six seperate tracks. May need a AC3 decoder. Danny Hays

If you render a video at a diferent resolution, like 1440 x 1080 to 720 x 480, things can move on you. Try rendering to the same as your project settings, then you can re-render that to a smaller size without things moving. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

If the shadows dont overlap, you could place a vertical layer, wall, if you will between the shadows and have it not show shadows, kind of like an invisable wall that blocks light. Hope this helps.

If she has Vegas, save project and check include media to external drive and open on her computer. If she does not, Render as ntsc DVD compliant mpeg-2 and burn with what ever DVD burning software she has. Roxio, Nero. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

Wow, that’s a toughy. To have the video mold around you like it was projected is the hard part. There’s projector location, the shadow it would cast. Unless the projector was to be in the same location as the camera where your shadow would be directly behind you and the video would not appear to mold around you, I can’t think of a way off the top of my head. Unless there’s a script one of the other guys knows about, I would have to say no with Vegas. Vegas is a great program but you may have better luck with After Effects for something like that.

That’s cool. Deselect maintain aspect ratio in the
event pan and crop to get the shape right and use
track pan and crop to get the size. Try lowering the opacity
Just a tad to let a little video show through, kinda like news lower
Thirds. Hope this helps. Danny Hays -
Stretch or shrink to get each part in sync. If it leaves holes in the video track, you can split small pieces at the edges and stretch those to fill. Danny Hays

Oh yea, You can use video or hi rez pics as your background.

First I would use a green screen. If your subjects will be walking on the screen, you should use curves like you said. If you’ve never done chromakeying before, I would read up on it first. Lighting, camera angle, camera distance and lighting and lighting are very important in making a convincing key. After Effects 7 and up I believe has Keylight which does a great job as long as the screen is lit evenly and there are minimal shadows. Here’s youtube link of a video I did and won a national CMT green screen contest with. I used Ultra and Vegas, not After Effects. I think I could have done it better with AF now that I’ve played with it a little.

Right click in an open area of the track control area, like just under the level fader and insert composite envelope. There will be a blue line at the top of the video in that track. double click on the blue line adds a point. Add points as needed and drag down the areas not wanted to be seen. You can also drag the points left or right in time. Hope this helps. Danny Hays
