Multi screens?

PatrickL wrote on 10/30/2001, 6:17 PM

can vegas LE create multi screens like a outside a bar? Or like the insides or a newsroom?

I mean can you syncronize more than 1 vid at a time? or can it do this at all?

I bought acid pro 3 and it came with vegas video but I have no use for it so far.

I'm also having a hard time understanding your question, but you can open multiple versions of Vegas, which might accomplish what your asking.

I think the question is, can you use multiple video streams in one project
and have them appear simultaneously in different parts of the frame,
ie. have a small picture inset in the corner of a larger picture, or split the
screen down the middle with different video running on each side, right?

If this is what you're asking, then You can do this with unlimited multiple
video streams in VegasVideo. VideoFactory allows two simultaneous
video streams, but no more. On the other hand, Acid and VegasAudioLE
only allow a single video event. So if i'm guessing correctly, the answer
to your question is "no". Sorry.

Thanks! I do have LE (free version that came with acid 3.0 and just wondering). I'm not that much into video so I guess that's that. Thanks for the straight up answer. Later

I reread my msg. By outside a bar I meant some bars around here have big gigantic displays (several screens put together in a grid) outside in the waiting line. I guess I was just thinking this was normal in cities.

I think I may know what you're talking about now. If you want your finished video to span several large panels to form one large image, that's a function of the monitor array rather than the edited video content. If you're using a standard video monitor, and wish to emulate the "split" screen effect...you'll need Vegas Video. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it allows unlimited video tracks. That means you can "split" your screeen layout into 9 equal boxes, and using separate video tracks, resize each video element and place it in the boxes. Basically, it's a Brady Bunch-type of effect.

Does that help?

Yep. I was just wondering if that was possible in LE. Not really wanting to upgrade a program I don't use just for that. Thx

You could always set up your first two boxes, render them, add them to the timeline and add the next box...one at at a time. It would be slow, but it would probably work.
