Aite Thanks a lot I’ll try that.

I see, But can I make it bright enough like the media player where it is that bright but the quality is still there like the output video?

Well, one thing I noticed is that Adobe Premier 4.0 shows it nicely with decent brightness.
Sorry one more question, the reason I switched to Sony Vegas, was because I was easier to input video to vegas that was more acceptable. You wouldn’t know why Vegas can accept Xvid or Divx avi, while premiere can’t would you?

Ic yeah, First time using vegas, so yeah this stuff is new, I did some more wiki and googled for this kinda stuff and your right definitely not something I can learn overnight.

So now that I understand this kinda of stuff, or am Learning, Is there a solution to my problem? by making my video in sony vegas brighter?
Thanks

Okay, Yeah I tried looking at this new feature in sony. but I never understood it HAHA

So what does it show… around 20%?

and now that I know this what should I do, or what can I learn from this.
Does it mean that the original source played with my media player automatically makes it brighter? or is it that my Sony Vegas makes it darker.

*edit, after watching the video with the wave form I understand how it works not, it is as if there is the same video playing in the wave form but it just filters out the lights. I thought it was just a mumble jumble of lights, but I can see when a character moves or lifts up a folder, you can just make out the outline in the wave form media player.

when you say viewer do you mean my media player? the picture with the lighter frame? how do i use a grabbed still, is it the same as taking a shot from it?
Sorry I’m still new to this stuff.
THanks

This is a clip i downloaded online, so it is not imported from a firewire. But thanks I’ll lookin into the last part of your sentence I have no idea what it means though… Google time.

AHHH FRIK Ignore my last two postings I right clicked the diamond key and learned that you can change how fast it is, or even make it HOLD!!! WHICH SOLVES EVERYTHING! hahaha

I forgot to add, (due to new member I can’t edit it)
The reason I want to know a new way, is because if I split the video 10 times and do each separate I have to make sure that each pan/crop is A)the same size and B) it is at 30% across the video from left to right and not at 35% which makes it look weird if my sequence goes 10% to 20% to 35% doesn’t look professional and that takes more time.
Cheers Jon

Alright thanks, I checked out your guide and I learned a ton of new information.
So what I figured out lets say i just have 1 video for simplistic sake. and i want it to event pan/crop it vertical slices across the video. it is a 10 sec clip. Here are my steps:

So if I take that whole 10 sec, and click on event pan/crop,
-I unclicked the default parameters
-made sure to unclick stretch to film frame in order to get the frame at the right instead of it being in the middle.
-go to the key time line on the bottom and just go from 1st at the right and last 10sec to the left.
-and play it.
-it works it goes from right to left,

But there is nothing to control this the speed of it going right to left, because when I add music and beats to it, I want it to match it.

After playing around, I took the 10 sec clip and split it 1 sec each then I did my steps again and panned/croped it first 10% to the left, next clip another 10% to the left so that on the overall clip it is 20% to the left, repeat

You are right it is time consuming 😀

Is there an easier way? something that I over looked?

Thanks I wish I could send a test video for you can see, but its late.

Alright I decided to use sony vegas pro 9.0 for now. A little dissapointed I liked adobe better but I just can’t work with adobe and its compatability issue.
Thanks for your response
