Sorry for being a pest, but I have a break through…followed by a halt >_< !

So instead of finding out how to shrink the size of the solid color (which was is white) I found an alternative way using Track media which did the job perfectly. I have uploaded it to my MediaFire account for you to look at:

Unfortunately though I can’t seem to enable the gaussian blur to the solid color at all… nothing happens? I tried straight up dragging gausian blur from the video fx bar, hitting the event fx option on the solid color itself and tried right-clicking>video event fx on the solid color and none seemed to work. I have a bit of a work around where I can render the text-effect as a video then importing that to my project timeline which it then allowed me to set the gaussian effect but I would rather do it all in the one protect.

So what can I do?

Cheers

Thanks Stephen this method was very simple and easy.

Hello again Jeff.

So I am in the process of making this effect but can’t for the life of me figure out how to create the white solid flash effect as you mentioned. I am unfamiliar with the masking option and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. Everything else you mentioned I am capable of, it’s jsut masking that has stumped me!

Thanks Jeff. I tried loading the .veg file into Vegas but it came up with an error saying that it is for a newer version of Vegas, might you be using a newer version then 10? All good thought the information you game me was fantastic and I will hop straight into Vegas and try it myself.

Cheers
