I was watching the show last night, very interesting by the way, it breaks down events like the plane crashing into the Pentagon, Olkahoma City bombing, into a millisecond by millisecond chain of events. Those kinda shows facinate me!
Anyway, they use a segway shot(in both episodes I've seen) .
Basicly a 3D shot with what amounts to still shots or individual frames, stack from foreground to backround like dominoes. then the camera view flies over so that it almost animates the shots.
Kinda hard to explain, the Show is on the National Geographic Channel on Tues 10:00 EDT here in Fl.
I tried to recreate it by creating a separate track for each shot, and placing them in their respective 3D space in Vegas ,no problem there.
And I just tried it with 6 stills, but I'm having trouble with the flyover part.
I assume that that would be done with a parent track and all the others would be children of that track , but I cant get it to look right.
if I try to just keyframe the individual stills from one position to the other my render time was 6 hrs for a 3 second clip? And thats with only 6 shots , in the program there were dozens.
If thats the way it would be done in Vegas, then I guess my little Girlyman 1.8ghz. processor may not be able to handle it.

I dont need the shot, it's more that I wanna learn how it was done kinda thing.
