Hello. I want to know if it's possible to save a "Mask" preset? Like i'm editing video games, and every videos the map is in the same position so i duplicate my video, go to "pan & crop" create mask, go to motion tracker create keyframes and zoom. ( Lot of Clics)

 

I'm actually using vegas pro 18. I don't have "adjustement layer" in my Vegas Pro actually ( waiting 23 to buy the new version ), my question is, can we save an Adjustement Layer as a preset ?

Like, i create the mask with my pentool, the zoom, the position with keyframes and just save it for next clips, i just drag and drop into my clips and the zoom is already do.

If you have another way to do it, I'm interested.

Sorry for my english, hope you understand me

 

Have a great day

@BMR-D

Masks are saved in the Custom Pan/Crop Presets.

The mask box must be ticked to see the saved settings.

Thanks you very much!! i didn't even see that ! It will save me a lot of time but not enough because 20-30 zoom per videos and 2 videos days that's why if Drag and Drop exist it will be better for me! My friends using Premiere Pro can save an entire preset like, zoom + position + mask and just drag and drop. But i didn't like PP at all and Vegas Pro it's so confortable for me, after lot of search i hear something about preset manager sony vegas but i'm not sure at all how his working

EDIT: i tried with PiP + Mask and save, but my mask didn't save with PiP, i don't know how explain, but i want to save these 3 things ( Key Frames + Mask + PiP (it's like TrackMotion but i try something else for animate zoom) then when i have a zoom to do, i just have to drag and drop, but when i save preset it's save only PiP and not my Pan Crop / Mask

 

But thanks a lot, and sorry for my english.

@BMR-D Try This.

When you have a clip that you want to emulate:

Select the clip and copy

Select all clips that you want to appear like your "standard" clip.

Right click on the clips and "Selectively Paste Attributes"

That may save you some steps.

@john_dennis That was a smart things ! It's copy the zoom but not the mask :( !

 

i save time with your advice not gonna lie, now i can just put preselect mask and copy/paste for the zoom. It's pretty good! But if you, or someone else know how to make it as a preset ?

 

Maybe Vegas 23, or Version 22 can? i don't know :D. but I thank you for all these tips
