Intro completed w/ help of forum members...

Here is a link to the completed intro I just finished (12 hours of rendering 39MB mpg2)with help from a lot of people on this forum especially Dave "FrigidNDEditing". I started out using his VEG file that he posted a while back and tweaked it to do what I wanted it to do. Considering I have never done any 3D anything in Vegas before yesterday, I think I did pretty well. It helps to have people who are willing to put in time and input though :) JetDV, thanks for the script to lengthen clips (I wish there was one to stretch out the keyframes and keep them in proper relation to the other clips).
Anyways, thanks to all who helped and comments are welcome.

Edit: Here is a link to a smaller wmv file. It is the second one. (It is way past my bedtime; I should have thought of that Dave:)

Could you say a few things about what has be considered when you doing this.

I don't completely understand your question as nothing really needs to be considered such as lighting, focus, white balance, etc.

You do, on the other hand, have to know what you want to do (the same with anything else you do on Vegas). After Dave explained some elementary things to me- Such as how to change the background color, where the 3-D options are located and multiple other questions along the way, it came together relatively smoothly (just an extremely long time to render). Others may have some suggestions on things to look out for- oh, here's one, I recieved some comments about the keyframes (smoothness of the path from one picture to the other)- keyframes can be smooth, linear or other options and this affects how the motion between the keyframes takes place. Play around with those and see what they do and how they work.

Dave or others who know more about this than myself feel free to comment on some things to consider.

Do you think the music fits? I haven't received any response on that aspect of the video yet.

EDIT: One other thing utilize "shift+b" to check out portions of your footage- dynamic ram preview. Great feature for this type of stuff!
