Thank you very much to all who replied.
I did check the vegasaur extension- I was able to automatically turn on-off a single effect on several single tracks but I couldn’t create a bus in the same way as the audio.

Thank you for your attention
best regards

Thanks for your suggestions, I was experimenting for the last week. I found out some other problems. The main one is that I need a good “empty background” behind me and I still don’t have. Also I need a decent lighting that won’t make a huge shadow behind me so I will be able to use Chroma key, for example.

Until I have a studio setup organized I found a real projector, so I started making the background video on Vegas, then I filmed myself, playing bass guitar and recording the bass on Vegas, while sending the picture to the projector (video monitoring full-screen).

I send you the link for you, the effect is really cool. You will see that I used a lot of Vegas effects, perhaps too many, but I was experimenting with them, as I practically learn how to use this tool. I used them as I discovered them.

The cool thing about it is that I can “direct” the scenario according to my taste, and go with the musical changes.

Funny you will notice the geometry of my room’s ceiling, I thought it would distort the picture but actually if you place the camera on the same position as the projector, the 2D square image is perfectly reconstructed… I guess optics explains it easy…

You can now have an idea of the effect I desired, by adjusting the focus, i could even project the images on the bass, rather than the walls…

Thank you Danny,

Yes you are right, there are many parameters like location of the “projector” and the shadow it would produce. Like you suggested, it would be cool even on those “default” parameters (projector on the same spot as the camera and no shadow produced).

The purpose would be to mix the two videos in a more organic way so that one would influence the other as “light” superimposing, rather than for example the chroma key effect.

Any other ideas welcome, once again thank you.

Miguel
