finer envelope control

Howdy. I know that Vegas supports this but I was wondering whether there is a finer grained envelope control available in Movie Studio or if only the pro peeps get to use that function? I really want to be able to fade stuff in and out with finer control instead of having to chop up clips into super fine bits and apply effects individually to each.

On a similar note, it would awesome of it was possible to add more tween points for the effects (i.e. an arbitrary amount instead just begin / end as well as a loop option).
I really want to be able to simulate camera jitter (i.e. Wild E Coyote earthquake pills type effect) and the pan and crop automation would be perfect if I could set up a few more points and / or set the movement to loop.

Cheers

As far as I know, this isn't possible with video clips/video effects in Movie Studio. Chopping up clips is the way to go. One thing that does help is to be able to save your pan/crop settings so that you can start the motion on the next clip where you left off; if you haven't seen this look for the "save" (floppy disk) icon next to the name field. Still not great for lots of sets of motion.

You can have finer control of the audio envelopes... look for "View -> Show Audio Envelopes" in the menus and play with it from there. Also good tips on this forum if you do a search on Audio Envelopes.
