November 20, 2013 at 4:03 am in reply to: I need to create a project where I can separate clips into categories, and then sub-categories

Sure, I’d be happy to explain further. Okay, we have our project:

And on the project, I’ve created six groups of events, each separated by a marker. Those are the “subcategories” I was talking about. So, let’s say we have this:

Category A:
Marker 1
Marker 2
Marker 3

Category B:
Marker 4
Marker 5
Marker 6

This is going by the numbers shown on the markers themselves.

The blue line (which I added in Windows Paint) represents the “separator” that I need, so I can keep the groups of clips separated.

So basically, I need a way to tell Vegas that Markers 1-3 is “Category A,” and Markers 4-6 is “Category B,” so they can be separated accordingly.

I hope I explained that well. I kinda suck at this 😛

Wow, thanks for the quick response. I really appreciate it. And now that I know that all that stuff (and I’m sure LOADS more) is possible, what do you think is the best way to get good/better at utilizing those effects and whatnot?

Thanks again.

[Graham Bernard] “Here’s a simple task for you: Watch a favourite TV show. Get a writing pad and pencil; turn off the audio and play the video/show and start writing down what you are seeing and how you feel and have a stab at just what happened before a scene change, during a scene and then after. Summarize what it was the Director/Editor did to do it and give your OWN shorthand reference. You can also do this with adverts.”

I’ll do you one better, if you think it can still work. I’ll show you a work that has the type of feel that I want to emulate.

A couple of things he does well is incorporate slow-motion with real-speed footage, and use flash transitions with (what I think is) a “lens flare” effect. At around 1:37, you can hear the “whoosh” sound effects I mentioned in this thread’s original post. It also looks like (not positive) he may have lowered the framerate slightly (I know how to do that, so no big deal), and he has some sort of lighting effect on all of the footage that you can see if you look on each side. It looks maybe like another case of a slight lens flare-like effect, but I’m not sure. Here’s a still from the video that gives you a good look at it:

Things like that are what I want. Like I said, I want people to feel like a team of experts had a part in making this video, not one guy who’s never done this for a living, and just has free time, a POS laptop, and an urge to express his creativity. Advanced cinematic techniques, be they transitions, effects, or simple strategies that I can incorporate when making the video.

I definitely appreciate your response, and if there’s any more info you might need, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the quick response.

As far as I can tell, that doesn’t do anything. It just makes the pink area smaller.

How exactly do I do that? I don’t have much experience with audio editing in Vegas.

Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry for asking so late, but do you have any idea how I should arrange the velocity points and what exactly to change?

Thanks again.

I think to achieve what you want to do, you have to click and hold the bar that I’ve circled in the picture below, and move it to the left to make the Preview window bigger.

Hope this helped.

Oh, okay. I’ve got it now. I was able to re-create the effect successfully, but now, and I hope I’m not being a bother, I’m still curious as to if I can remove the effect from a video that already has it.

Thanks.

Oh, okay. How would I go about recreating this effect once I do that? All I see is a timeline and options for brightness (as far as I can tell).

Steve,

Thanks for the quick response. What exactly does “animated level control” refer to? I searched for it in Vegas’ help feature, but couldn’t find anything on it (at least as far as I could tell).

Thanks again
