A Route Animation Tool for VegasPro19 - Suggestions?

Grazie wrote on 11/3/2021, 2:52 AM

I've got a wiggly route that is Eastwards, mostly horizontal, but then springs up and takes a Northern route.

Tried so far:

1 - Mask: Moving Mask - ugh . . . tortuous . .

2 - Transition: Transition using Linear Wipe is good for the East Route but then the swing into Northern, it gets really silly!

I vaguely remember Douglas Spotted Eagle having a clever Composite method, but for the life of me, I can't find it, here or the COW.

I've briefly noted this one: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/route-animation-plugin-for-vegas-pro-by-peter-p-with-tutorial--116423/ I need something more straightforward.

So, all suggestions are taken seriously.

@Grazie ... re RED ... for the last 4 to 5 years BorisFX has been a discontinued product. From BorisFX's forum in Feb this year, a BorisFX senior product manager stated:

... I have to say that you would be better served by moving away from RED - it is a discontinued product and has not seen any development in several years. Continuum is a better option for your needs.

Given that RED is a discontinued product (I just get garbage coding via BorisFX's webpage for a RED purchase), Anyway, I'd be a bit worried about a current offer of $1,300 for a product that as I recall sold for around half of that when BorisFX had it for sale years ago.

The demo of the route track does look good though.

@Dexcon - Yeah, my bad. I did a simple search for Boris Red and went to Purchase, and got that figure, not noting that it was NOW for the updated Boris Suite.

@Grazie

Hi,

I resurrected this thread to show an example of a different type of use for Magix Travel Maps that I mentioned.

John CB, thanks for that. Your video demonstration reminded me that I have a version of Video Pro X11 from a Humble Bundle two years ago, so I'm installing it now to try it out. Thanks again!
