I’m guessing that you want to do something like the Boris FX Beat Reactor plug-in in this training video:

It’s not cheap to buy but it does what you are looking for. I know of no other plug-in for Vegas Pro that does this so the only other way is to just zoom in and out manually with Pan/Crop keyframes.

[Wayne Waag] “Rather than re-render and lose a significant amount of quality, why not create a Dropbox account, upload it, and then give your recipient the URL so that it can be easily downloaded.”

Get a DropBox account and send them a link. You will loose too much quality sending it as an email attachment. BTW, if you don’t have a DropBox account as sign up using this link: [DropBox], you and I will will get an extra 500MB of space free. 😉

April 14, 2016 at 4:54 am in reply to: Meta-question…What are Sony’s plans for Vegas moving forward – if any?[Guy Smith] “I’ll be at NAB this year and will be interested to see if the waning sense of Vegas support that I’ve noticed over the past couple of years at the Sony pavilion will continue to be a trend this year.”
Please let those of us who aren’t attending NAB know what you find. I don’t think anyone knows where Vegas Pro is going. Sony has said that Catalyst Suite is not a replacement. There was also a mention of Vegas Pro 14 possibly being in the works. So it’s anyone’s guess what the future holds for Vegas Pro.
If it works for you, I don’t see why you would move to another NLE even if Sony abandoned it. Editors are still using Final Cut Pro 7 five years after Apple has ended it’s life. It still works for them and they still use it. Many editors are still using Vegas Pro 10 so Sony could have stopped making Vegas Pro 4 years ago and these editors wouldn’t have noticed. So I don’t see a need to go anywhere if Vegas Pro is still rocking your world.

April 14, 2016 at 3:33 am in reply to: Why is vegas rendering my image sequences at 29.9 fps when my settings are 23.4?[Ted Sakowsky] “I’ve been rendering out a .dpx sequence that is 23.4 fps on the timeline and settings but it always keeps coming out at 29.9 in the end.”
How are you determining this? i.e., what are you using to determine it’s coming out 29.97? For example, are you counting the number of images produced divided by the length of the timeline?
[Ted Sakowsky] “Then when I bring the sequence back into vegas and put it back to the original fps it comes out to it’s original timeline however that’s not the same with it in Adobe Encoder where the time has been reduced.”
Are you telling Adobe Encoder that it’s 23.4 fps? Because if you don’t, it will never interpret it properly. 23.4 is a very strange frame rate.

[Paul Gregory] “I seem to recall from many years ago that there may be a quick way to turn most or all of these in one go. Is there a way to do this?”
You’re probably thinking of the utility called “EditItAll2”. That will end all background tasks. Just Google “end it all windows 10”
I happen to notice you are using AVG AntiVirus. While good at one time, that’s known to be quite a bloated resource hog these days. I would try disabling it or uninstalling it if it won’t disable and see if your problems persist. I was once a user of AVG and I stopped using it because it became a resource drain on the system. There were more AVG processes running in the background than my programs running in the foreground. It looks like it hasn’t changed.

Yes, you can do that right in Vegas Pro. Add a Generated Media Color Gradient to the timeline and select green for the first color and move the transparency slider down on the second color and you’ll have a gradient that goes from green to transparent. You can also add a third point and make it green and slide it close to the transparent color so that you can control how much is solid green and when it starts to become transparent.
Finally, open Pan/Crop and use the Mask tool to draw the lower third.

[Hugo Burgos] “You can rename files .m2ts and .m2t as .mov?”
No, I don’t believe that you can. You can rename MP4 files as MOV because the video is AVC/H.264, but m2ts files are MPEG-2 Transport Streams. They would need to be re-wrapped in a MOV container, not just renamed.

I really haven’t been following the latest PC hardware since I use a Mac Pro now, so I’m just going to generically recommend an Intel Core i7 6-Core, 32GB memory, SSD, and Radeon R9 290/390 series GPU. I realize that GPU won’t work with MainConcept AVC and if that’s really important to you use an older card but I don’t think you need two.
