Thanks for the respond.
Ticker tick does not work for karaoke text in video.

in Karaoke video, lyric text is show at fix position
and the color of the text change when the music play.

Sure you can do it... with some work.

Are you making a NEW video or one that already has text embedded? If a new video fairly straight forward... Add a overlay track, add the text you want using key frames to control it.

I make new video.
I insert a text permanent text and use another text to change
the color with keyframe.
But the position of the second text does not overlay correctly
on the first text.

It's not possible to make karaoke (CD-G) disk by vegas video.
You can only make video discs that emulate karaoke.
it's different. - on karaoke disk stored MIDI files, but you create video (mpeg-1,2,4).

Hi tracking59,

To make titles that overlay exactly, you might try copying a text-event to the track above, then changing it's color.

You might then try the cookie-cutter FX on the upper track to "mask" each word, using HOLD keyframes when moving the position of the cookie-cutter.

thanks Martyh I will try your idea.

Daliv, i try to make DVD Video. You are right
i do not want to make cdg.

Hi Marty
I use cookie cutter and it work but I have
another problem. I can not cut the last 2 words
of my text.

Ex: I have a text
How to make karaoke video using vegas?

I can cut " how to make karaoke ".
but
I can not cut pass "Video using vegas".
Do you have any idea.

Thanks for your advise.

There's a easy way. If you haven't already, download the PluginPac. Use 3DLE.
Drag the filter to the event you have the text on. Use the crop control to reveal or hide the text as needed.

For example to expose one letter at a time, drag the crop right control to the right until you cover up all but the first letter of a word, set a key frame. Either set more keyframes or set just the last keyframe to return the crop control to its original position. You'll need to vary the size of the event to control how slow or fast remaining text is revealed.

For an example how it looks try my mini-music video demo over at Kelly's site. I used several text effects made with the 3D filter. The one I'm referring to happens twice at about 117 and 127 seconds.

To align text vertically, I find it easiest to use the default text filter, then just keep adding tracks below each other for each new line of text so you can align it using the properties tab in the video media generator. That's one way you can change size, font and color and keep everying aligned.

You might also try the pan/crop tool on the upper track, instead of cookie-cutter, you might need to UN-check the "stretch to fill frame" box.

Does anybody know if it is possible (with any program) to originate and burn CD+G discs. Just curious. I own hundreds of Karaoke CDG's but really know nothing of the format.

I didn't even know there was such a thing. LOL!
