I mean it doesnt have to be a blur. This could be an awesome plugin, you could save settings for different effects or effect combinations and create many different easy to insert transitions

What I mean I can do this manually but it's annoying, you have to create the keyframes on both clips.

What you want is the Sony Cross Effect with the Cross Blur A/B Preset.

I don't mean a specific effect, I mean any effect that you can do in sony vegas turned into a type of transition through a crossfade.

somebody make this plugin

I don't fully understand what you are wanting to do, but you can most definitely create transitions, using crossfades, that are something other than crossfades. This tutorial shows one way to do this:



However, if that is not what you are looking for, then click on this link:

Vignettes using "soft contrast" FX

and scroll down to my user name ("johnmeyer"). This lets you use any transition as an fX. This is an odd discovery I came up with and may or may not apply to what you are trying to do.

Finally, here is a YouTube video which shows a variation of the idea I show in my little VEG file.

I think it may do almost exactly what you want.



Finally, there are lots of old tutorials showing how you can create your own custom transitions using a gradient mask.

Sorry if I'm confusing anyone. here I recorded this to show what I mean.

Did you look at the YouTube tutorial that I posted directly above your last post? I put, in bold face, "I think it may do almost exactly what you want."

The YouTube tutorial you just created and posted is identical to the tutorial that I posted.

So, you are not asking for a plugin, nor are you asking how to do something. Instead, what you are asking for is a way to automate placing fX on two adjacent overlapped events and then keyframing them so that they only affect the portions of the events which are overlapped.

This sort of thing can be done with Vegas scripts. The first step would be to look at the several commercial scripts, such as Excalibur, Vegasur, and Ultimate S. Several of these do let you create fX presets and then apply these to events. There may be a way to create a workflow, using these scripts, that would let you apply these fX just to the end of one event and the beginning of the next event. There is a "bug" in how event keyframes behave when an event is shortened or lengthened by dragging the end of the event that might be exploited to simplify this workflow (they don't stay "stuck" to the end of the event).
