Thanks. I played with the ones in Vegas and I may use that but the really good ones have a color change or fade from black combined. I’m looking for a simple drop on effect I can use in multiple places.

I like adding a generated text event as the top line, stretching it over the project and putting the timecode there. Then I can turn it off and on by just turning off that track.

After you edit, you can bring it back into Vegas under File-Import-Media

Made a mistake. Check out “Displacement” at
https://fxhome.com/visionlab/visionlab-overview.htmlI think that is what you want.

I believe the effect is demoed on fxhome.com under “bitmap displacement.” I haven’t tried it but I plan to use it in the future so I noted it there.

The same way you shorten or lengthen a clip (with the bracket) except you hold down the “ctrl” key while doing so.

The full version MB for Vegas is MUCH better than the few you see in the sample. Also, you have complete control for tweaking.

Don’t know if this would help but I was watching a tutorial today about AE and the guy doing it said to render an extra pixel – as in “781” instead of “780” (both height and width, one extra pixel) because of a problem with the edge in AE with some of its effects. It wouldn’t hurt to try.

What comes with Vegas is an extremely light version. The full Vegas plugin version has about 20 different film look presets (with many controls for change). These are generally considered to be the best made (by me and others). They are based on programs out of the Orphage, a company founded by a group out of Industrial Light and Magic, which matched video to film for the major motion picture studios. Their process involves a redoing of the frames on a piexel-by-pixel basis that surpasses any of the other film looks in Vegas. They once were very slow. That is no longer true. One, they improved the program and, two, they wrote it to utilize the processor on the Nvidia video boards. It takes about 1.5 times longer to render HDV footage than a straight Cineform avi render. If you see the footage you will know the difference but if you aren’t into a “movie look” or enhancing footage to look different from ordinary video footage, you probably would not be interested. You can see samples at Reg Giant Software.

Magic Bullet will benefit from Nvidia because it uses the processor on the card to speed renders – very effectively. ATI does not.
