Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with the “Computer RGB to Studio RGB option.” Would you be willing to walk me through it? Thanks again, Jim

Steve,

Sorry for the confusion. I am using Vegas Pro 10. In the Secondary Color Corrector I used the “select effect range” eyedropper tool on the white sky. Then I clicked the “show mask.” Mostly the white sky was showing in the mask. I then clicked on the “choose complimentary color” dropper and chose a nice blue. In the Vegas preview screen it looks really good–a nice blue sky with some clouds showing. I thought I had it fixed. I then rendered this to MPEG2, and brought it into DVDA. In DVDA the sky again looks white–no blue sky, and no clouds showing. Does this description help? Jim

John,

I sent a question on June 11 about your response. Not sure if you saw it…maybe you are on vacation. I would still appreciate your help if you see this. Thanks, Jim

John,

I am doing something wrong. What I am ending up with is a solid white rectangle (the actual shape I want) with the name of the person inside the white rectangle. That’s close to what I want, but what I really want is the white box to be translucent and showing in an opaque manner the video of the “actor.”

Here is what I have: On the top track I have the text media with the title of the actor.

On the middle track I have the white generated media, with the cookie cutter positioned so that the white rectangle is at the bottom center. The cookie cutter is set to “cut away all but section.” The text media shows the actor’s title. Where your example shows the ability to adjust the transparency, I have a solid black box with no way to adjust the transparency.

On the lower track I have the video event.

I suspect you can tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Jim

Thanks! It works in a new project. It does not work in the current project. That is why I could not get it to work right. At least, it will work for future projects. Thanks again, Jim
