Digital Juice has a free training clip they just came out with for using shaped envelopes in Vegas Pro -- their example is a "animated postcard". Free for anyone that is interested in watching (hey, every little bit helps !! ) http://www.digitaljuice.com/dj_training/detail.asp?sid=385
Thanks for sharing. http://www.digitaljuice.com/dj_training/detail.asp?sid=385 is one of those tutorials that makes people go, "Whoa. That was done in Vegas?" Most people think you need After Effects/ a 3D app to do things like this.
I haven't seen a way in Premiere CS4 to do this without going into AE nor have I seen it in FCP. Haven't looked for it in Media Composer but I think I'd have to go into Boris or similar.

Thanks for the link, This is probably easy stuff for everyone else on this forum but lots of great tips in the instructional (at least for for a noob like me)!

Here's another one:
He is reallly goood! I would pay money to get regular tuts from someone of this caliber. Sony should hire him to create tutorials for their website. I think it could do a lot for Vegas sales.
