Thanks. I will try that. But how would I get the letters to align properly?
Alternately, could I key in a light gray mask over the rest of the quotation, but with a hole cut out over the word in question (to keep it fully lit)?
Second alternate: could I make a mask with a yellow oval or something in it, to act as a ‘highlighter’ of sorts?
It would be nice to be able to try all three effects, to see what works best (or maybe to use them all at different times).
Thanks.

Rick, I apologize if this has been asked about a thousand times before, but if you don’t mind my asking, what would it take for Vegas to ‘cut it commercially’, in your mind?
I got turned onto Vegas because everyone said it is the easiest to use, and since one can throw just about anything up on the timeline without conversion, they say it is ‘the NLE of the future.’ Yet now that I am getting started with it, there seem to be all sorts of limitations (no P2 support, little BMD support, limited AJA support, no Cineform support, etcetera x 4 or 5).
Is it simply a matter of Sony taking Vegas seriously, and making it into a professional product with good third-party support? Or are there limitations inherent in the design? I know none of this stuff is easy, but it would be good to know where the glitch is.

It’s OK. I just found out that Boris RED has a good keyer, and I already happen to have Boris RED (long story).
We’ll just have to see if I can get it to work on Vista 64….

OK.
Do I also need to reinstall PA?

I do not have an updated installer. During install I just chose Vegas 7 (or 8, or whatever) and it did not work…so I installed it as a stand alone product. It does not show up in Vegas 9 at all.
It responds to simple X, Y and Z axis commands, but we will have to see if I actually get it to work. My laptop also responded to simple X Y Z axis commands, but when I went to render a simple 30 second test effect (two flips and a couple of rotations or something) in draft mode, 1/4 scale, both processors maxed out for a couple of hours, and the timeline never did move forward.
I could not get help either; but mostly I just wanted to let you know that I do not know of an updated installer.

I asked on the Boris forum, and they said that RED will work on Vista 64 with VPro9 x32. (John, I know you said it would not work on yours after you installed Premiere.) I got it to install, and do not have time to learn it this week, but perhaps next.
Cineform is flipping out, but I will put that on a separate thread.
Thanks, all.

Hi Luc.
>>Only downside with Vegas is that downscaling is a bit soft compared to Tmpgenc.
I apologize. This one went right past me also.
What is the issue with downscaling being ‘soft’? Does it lessen the sharpness of the image?
And how does Tmpgenc fit into the picture?
