One of the forthcoming project request an ending effect like this group layer, will be separated like each paper 'blown-off' by the wind to random places.
So... I wonder if this kind of 'chaos'-motion effect can be done in VEGAS Pro or VEGAS Effects...
Anyone know how?
You could do it vegas effects I think with some difficulty. I personally can't think of a great way to do it. But if someone put a gun to my head I would create a particle system for each one of those images. Then I would probably use implode or explode and a turbulance force making sure to switch the billboard setting off. this will make it blow off somewhere but like a solid square. You could add an atomic particles effect to the particle system and dial in the setting to create some wobble to make it look a little more like paper, but doing all this for all those would be a pain. Another way may be with use of the shatter effect, if you could get it to identify those video blocks seperately and also combine with some effect to add some wobble. There is probably a better way to make something similar I would ask this question on the fxhome message board as well. https://community.fxhome.com/categories/post-production-techniques
You are right... thanks for recommendation... I have posted it on their forum as well...
yeah, was thinking to 'bound it' to a particle system or something... or make 'link' the effect to the 'group'... probably easy to do with 3D software, but personally haven't mastered it.
In the meantime, let's try experimenting with current tools I have now...
Was suggested to try Shatter tool, and following is the quick test:

@set ... I couldn't think of any way to do this if the aim was to have each window blow off at the same time, but then the Shatter post just above suggests that you might be willing to look at a shatter effect that blows apart the composite image. If that is the case, you might want to look at NBFX's Transitions 5 Dimensions package:
https://newbluefx.com/products/transitions/dimensions/
The package includes a heap of blow-away choices including Confetti, Grid Blast, Grid Explosion, etc. The link to NBFX provides some examples of each FX, and I reasonably certain that there is a lot of control over the size of the 'pieces' that blow away.
This is one of the effects where the set up matters for the tool that you're going to use for this.
If you're going to use in VEGAS EFFECT, then I would suggest reassembling them there.
I'm pretty sure that you can use an emitter to make a very powerful demonstration of it. I might make a tutorial for this but that'll have to be late this month :(
ShatterFX has some limitations... well, admit it, it's an explodeFX...
Still have to experiment further...
