[John Rofrano] “You can achieve the text effect by using the Vegas Pro ProType Titler”

That is correct, but Hunter wants the Text to be Synched to the V/O. When a Word is Spoken that Word would appear. I’m not aware that PTT can do this? Cool if it can.

[Hunter Madden] “Do you know how you would collage maybe a hundred or some images together appearing at the same time but staying behind without having to create hundreds of video layers?”

You’re wanting a Wall of images?

There is no automated method to do this in VegasPro. If there is, I’ve not yet come across it. Consequently, the trouble is that syncing Visuals to Audio in the way we are looking at here has to be done Manually.

I have explored s/w that has created Markers to the Beat of a drum or bass being plucked, which has had a modicum of success, but the spoken word? No so much. But there could be Scripting Tools that could do it?

So, how would I go about it?

1) I’d Type the V/O in Word.

2) Record the V/O directly into VP.

3) Having the speech on a Track, I’d Add a Text Generator that would Span the whole V/O.

4) Play the Audio, at say 1/4 Speed, and Tap the M key to add a Marker at each new word or Phrase. This gives the option to know where my Sync Markers have to be and dictate alignment for 5) below. (ughhh…)

5) Having TextGen open and the Sync Cursor set ON, I’d play the Timeline to the First Marker, and then I’d either Copy directly from Word OR Type in directly into the TextGen. Once I’d filled-in a line of Text I’d SPLIT the TextGen in 3) above and insert a new TextGen that would Span the remainder of the V/O. Now repeat this 5) until finish.

As it’s not automated, yeah, it’s a truly, butt-ugly workflow. If others have the all important Audio to Text Synching, as an automated Script, please shout out. As I say, in the past, I’ve tried at least two offerings.

I’d be tempted to research another package to do this.

[Hunter Madden] “i didn’t really know how to explain it.”

Hi Hunter. Do you want to know how you’d synchronise to the v/o or how you’d make the line of text grow?

[Steve Rhoden] “Visit their website and view the requirements needed.”

Steve, quite. My assumption is that people buy this stuff either knowing their platform will sustain the software OR have demoed it to assure themselves. I shouldn’t assume. ????

[Shotaro Kaneda] “Thanks for any help.”

Ooo, Shotaro, at last, something I can get my teeth into. There’s much to do here. My initial thoughts are once getting the Text flying forwards is to use Vegas Kaleidoscope FX.

Speak later…..

[Glenn Sampson] “My vegas crashes and I keep getting the same thing, with no solution so far.”

Hi Glenn. What have you tried so far? Here are my suggestions

1) Try turning off GPU.
2) Try uninstalling Red Giant Reboot PC run VegasPro to prove your VP Install is running well.
3) Also, you aren’t running the latest Build of VegasPro, try installing that and reboot PC.
4) Reinstall RG.
