I want to have a video playing on a screen on a laptop within an image at a perspective. The video will need to be "distorted" so that it fits into the laptop screen.
I then want to slowly have that "distorted" video gradually zoom to fit the entire screen and thus "transition' to a new new scene.
I'm using Vegas Pro 16. Is this possible? If not can anyone recommend anything that will do this effect?
Thanks.
Vegas 17 introduced the "Mesh Warp" Effect that would do this well. It also introduced planar motion tracking which can be used to make your virtual "screen" stick to the real one even as the camera moves. In 16, you can attempt to use 3D source alpha compositing mode, and then track motion to size and rotate the image so that it fills the screen, maybe you can even use Vegas 16's more basic motion tracking to make it look better.
Mesh warp or planar tracking just make it much simpler to do. You'd mesh warp if the shot was static, planar track if the camera moves throughout the shot.
Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'm going to have to upgrade sooner than I thought.
Also with PIP FX you can create distortions:

Under video FX in any version, you have an effect called "DEFORM". It might do what you want.

PIP FX was introduced earlier, but I'm not sure if it had the same functionality as now in Vpro17.

When you know how to use it. Using Deform is not that easy, what I can remember.
It is not a visual line up, you have to use sliders.
