[Jeff Schroeder] “I have Photoshop integrated with Vegas.”

how so? plug ins? you can use psd files in vegas you mean?

[Joe Tavola]

thanks again Jeff for the advice, I’ll look into that seminar link.

I have dabbed in Premiere and I agree compared to Vegas, it just doesn’t seem as fluid.. yet why are so many industry people using it or FCP over Vegas? They seem to be the standard no?

[Jeff Schroeder] “There is nothing in the video that can’t be done in Vegas. In fact, it’s all pretty simple stuff. “

Well that’s exactly what I wanted to hear, very encouraging. I really like Vegas and it’s functionality. Not having to go to Premiere or After Effects etc to get this look is great to hear. Other than some online video tutorials is there any other advice you can offer? Other than the tutorials on this site for Vegas, anything else online that you know of that can further advance me?

so for instance i mask around the guy … but then how do i change the background colour exactly? is this a new video track (duplicate it) then add background colour?

[Joe Tavola]

no other way inside vegas to do this? have to go through photoshop? any online video (youtube) that show this method?

[Joe Tavola]

great thanks John!

thanks for the input John.

is this the same for Pinnacle Studio 12? or does that require GPU power… any idea on that?

so it’s down to the choice between quad core q6600 and radeon 4850 512MB video card OR i7 920 and radeon 4670 512MB. price wise almost the same… should i go with the i7 combo?
