Keyframes, Pan/Crop, & Transitions: Lower Thirds

It still amazes me what you can do with keyframes. So many benefits to knowing how to use them. If you combine this tool with transitions and the obvious usage of pan/crop you can make some pretty neat "animations" right in Vegas itself.

Here is a video where I utilized these tools along with generated media to make the intro, lower thirds, and outro.

Cute treatment!

A couple of suggestions --
1) Pull the birdies out with the strip, or have them chase it, rather than dropping off the screen.
2) I didn't especially like her choice of tops, but he obviously did (see where his eyes are focused in every cutaway).

:) I did not notice his eyes!

It is too late. Today is the day they are showing it as today they are getting married. Thanks for the suggestion though; I don't mind them- good, bad, as long as they are constructive they are beneficial.
