How to put a picture over a face in a video?

sQd wrote on 8/22/2020, 11:01 PM

Hello, basically I just got vegas pro 17 yesterday and I want to edit a video. I have a video track of myself talking but I would like to put a image (any image) over my face to block it. I am standing stationary (my position dont change) through'out the whole video. May I know how I can do that? Or maybe link me to a video where I can find it? Thank you!

1. Put the picture on the track above the other
2. Give it with the Pan/Crop option the desired dimensions
3. Put it on the right place with the track motion option

Hey is there a video or something to explain more in detail? I don't understand the 2nd and 3rd point

Actually, that will only work in VEGAS 18. What you want to do is this:

Systems:

Desktop

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core 16 thread at stock speed

64GB 3000mhz DDR4

Geforce RTX 3090

Windows 10

Laptop:

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 32GB (9980HK CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, dual 4K touch screens, main one OLED HDR)

Hello, thanks for the help, but I just need it in one stationary spot. Because I will be just standing at the same spot giving a speech. So it's basically just putting a picture over my face at the same spot. @fr0sty

Ah, well then just put it on the track above the one with the video of you, then use track motion to pan and resize the picture to where you want it.

or use the Picture in Picture fx to do the same. It's a little easier to use when you're moving things around on screen.

System 1:

Windows 10
i9-10850K 10 Core
128.0G RAM
Nvidia RTX 3060 Studio driver [most likely latest]
Resolution        3840 x 2160 x 60 hertz
Video Memory 12G GDDR5

 

System 2:

Lenovo Yoga 720
Core i7-7700 2.8Ghz quad core, 8 logical
16G ram
Intel HD 630 gpu 1G vram
Nvidia GTX 1050 gpu 2G vram

Hi guys thanks for your help. However, I just started using Vegas Pro last week so I don't really know what really you mean. If it is possible, is there a link to a video? I see that there is a lot of tutorials but I don't plan to watch through every single one.

Okay, so you want people on the forum to trawl through the tutorials so you don't have to. Nice. From what you've written so far, you really need to watch the tutorials on the basics.

People on the forum are very willing to help with a situation that you haven't been able to resolve, but you really have to help yourself in the first place - which so far you appear reluctant to do.

Perhaps first watch the 5 x 30 mins webinars about Vegas Pro which Vegas Creative Software presented in April this year which would provide you with the basics for using Vegas Pro. And then move on to other tutorials that - by their title - would seem useful to you.

In the OP (8/23/2020): "I just got vegas pro 17 yesterday". We trust you got it from a reliable source as the MAGIX/VEGAS shop has only the latest version available.

Eh sorry but I'm not really sure. I asked my friend and he just attached 2 files for me to download. I downloaded and it worked so I didn't question.

I was just hoping that one of you had already watched it before or know where it is. If you don't know, you don't need to search through all the video haha
