I have both Cinescore and Smart Sound and prefer Cinescore. I have used it on a couple projects and it fit perfectly. Variations are more true variations and not just looped ‘parts’. You’ll like it.

Thank you. Well, that explains that

My next computer is going to be a Intel Mac with Boot Camp (the ability to run both windows and apple OS). It the best of both worlds – Avid, FCP and Vegas on the SAME machine.

Canopus has some hardware for cleaning VHS while digitizing. Check that out. You might find adding a few Vegas filters like contrast and unsharp masking will help. Sample a section to Mpeg2 and see what that looks like – usually an improvement all by itself.

Zotz Digital is a straight up company serving a lot of pro-shooters. They are in Washington State. They have some nice XL2 packages that might be of interest to you.

Ha! You said you don’t use PhotoShop – understandably, it’s sounding like Greek to you. Most editors use it daily. PhotoShop Essentials can do the same thing I described (I think). It’s not very expensive.

Simple. Lay all eight images onto a widescreen frame sized canvas. Import that into Vegas. Since each image is on it’s own layer import those one by one 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.

You would need two rectangles with the space between them to create a window for the current cord. Here’s something that I put together doing the same thing but using Photoshops layers in Vegas:

Yeah, you can us the media generator to create the two rectangles by resizing the pan crop and position with track motion. You could then move them across the screen with a space between the two by keyframing that movement. Make both those tracks semitransparent and you would have something that should look pretty cool.

A number of ways to do that. You could create a long colored rectangle with a window in it in Photoshop and slide that along over the chord image using the pan-crop tool, with transparency set on that track, or a bunch of tracks fading in out out using the same PS rectangle positioned using the pan-crop tool again.
