I have a black background with white text, how can I do an hightlighter effect so it turns white and the letters turn black?
I achieved this more or less with 2 layers
Layer 1: white solid
Layer 2: the image with the text parented to layer 1

I just stretch the white solid so it covers the text with keyframes, and I use the “Difference squared” mode on…

Im not seeing that these plugins are included on the Suite pack which seems to be the most expensive one.

Im using the Pan/Crop thing on Video Event, using the Position keyframes to move the position of the camera. I want a smooth movement that starts from a stationary camera, then slowly goes down while moving to the left, then it continues scrolling down in a linear speed.

As you can see here, I cannot get the movement…

Im not sure what NewBlue products are. I know I have the Sapphire FX bundle and some are named “HitFilms”, not sure if I got 2 plugin bundles, I’ve got these from like 10 years ago so I don’t remember. Im guessing I will need to buy the new versions.
Is there a Vegas bundle that comes with these plugins preinstalled?
The ones I use the most are the…

Looks like most Gen Z is learning video editing with DaVinci Resolve. Im a mid 30’s millenial and learned video editing on Sony Vegas Pro 13, which I am still using to this day somehow, as I refused to learn a new workflow. I wonder how much im missing on newer software.
Im considering moving to the latest Vegas version. Im just wondering if im…

So what was causing the massive FPS loss was a track that had 4 parented tracks (3 video and 1 audio) where I was running 3 effects (S_TVDamage, HitFilm Scan Lines, S_FilmDamage) to try to achieve an old computer. All of them add up but looks like S_TVDamage is slowing it a ton. For some reason it slowed the entire project, even tho no clips where…

I have installed an older version, its not crashing for now, but the FPS is really bad. I think I should buy the latest Vegas version but im not sure. Will my Sony Vegas Pro 13 project file be able to open fine? What about by Sapphire FX old pack? will it work?

I can already do anything I need it’s just the performance is trash and now i’ve made it worse by installing the latest drivers. Now it crashes with this:

No difference, in fact it may be worse now. I think this software is just too old. I tried disabling GPU acceleration, it doesnt crash but it’s unusable due low FPS preview. I would update to a new Sony Vegas version but im so used to this old school workflow that im not sure I want to do that.

Yeah this did the trick. I had to change the order above and put the effects after “Composite”.
The problem with Vegas 13 is it seems it crashes a lot when I work with a number of different video tracks. I typically would use a few video tracks but this projects requires a bit more, so I don’t know what causes this. I have an image on top of a…

Hi, im still using Vegas 13 as it does anything I need and cannot get arround learning another different workflow but something missing is that I never found a way to apply an FX to various tracks at once.

For instance I have an image layered on top of a clip and I want to apply a scanline effect pluggin on both the image and the video at once… Read more
