well I understood the terminology, I just didn’t understand how anything you said applied to what I’m trying to do here..

Wow I don’t know if I’m dumb or what but I have no clue what you’re talking about??
“Lay all eight images onto a widescreen frame sized canvas” – – What eight images?
“Import that into vegas” — what is “that” ?
“Since each image is on it’s own layer import those one by one into Vegas” –I thought we already imported “that” into vegas?
“Adjust the transparency of the main image on one track and place each simgle image layer on a track above it with no transparency. Bingo! The images appear to turn on and off as though back-lit.”
The reason I quoted everything in your post is because not one thing made sense to me, are we talking about the same subject?

wow that is really awesome! how the heck did you create something like that? it looks like it’s a flash file though? I think that is a bit more complex than what I want, just a simple highlight effect.. Jeditdv mentioned the cookie cutter so I”m going to mess with that and see what happens..
-
Why black generated media if it’s to be a highlighter effect? shouldn’t it be yellow? I’ve never used the cookie cutter tool so I’ll try and mess with it and see what happens..
-
It’d be much easier to make this highlight image event based instead of track based that way I can put all my events on one timeline instead of several diff veg files. If I keyframe it based on the whole track, it becomes a royal pain in the butt if I have to move events, etc. I can’t figure out how to do it with the event based pan/crop yet =( Anyone else have an idea?
-
why two rectangles? I’m confused?
It should just be one rectangle that moves from chord to chord.. So track motion has to be used then right? It can’t be accomplished with pan/crop alone (this is what I’m finding) but do explain what you mean by two -
I tried to do it using the media generator and decreased the level setting to 40% and it made a decent highlight, only problem was that I could not get it down to the correct size using pan/crop, it’s too small..
-
Hmm, so basically something like a red square that moves over each chord diagram… but wouldn’t the inside of the square cover up the chord when it moves over? I’m not real good with graphics.. I have paint shop pro to use.. If I create a red square, it will have a white inside, and in my mind, will cover what it’s moving over once I put it on the timeline.
-
No, but that’s a good idea!
I don’t know how I could accomplish that though..Is there a way to highlight each chord as it’s played even though it’s one whole image? -
Hmm, well this is the high resolution png output setting in the program.
The quality of the image is great.What do you mean: “import the changes from chord to chord – each as a separate layer over the ‘strings’ layer.”
What do layers have to do with anything here? These are just simple chord grids that I need to display on DVD, see here for the composed frame:

This looks pretty decent on the TV, but with that .001 gaussian blur, it looks blurry on the computer monitor. Is there some trick I’m missing that will make it look good on both screens?
