Hi everybody--
I have a couple questions for you. I have just shot a youth basketball tournament using two camera angles ... a manned panning wide shot on tripod from the mid-court bleachers and a handheld court-level shot for closeups and reaction cutaways. I've pre-sold DVDs for this project with the idea of editing the games as if they were being broadcast on television, ESPN style. I am adding audio play-by-play commentary in the edit. However, I have a question concerning scoreboard graphics and I'm hoping you can give me suggestions. (I am running Vegas 4.0)
I would like to put a graphic showing the running scoreboard in the upper right corner of the screen, along with the running clock. I set a seperate camera on a tripod to record nothing but the scoreboard's time clock. Is there a way that this shot can be shrunk down or resized, and moved into the upper right-hand corner overlaying the action? I am trying to emulate what the television broadcasts do with the score clock. Is this possible to do in Vegas? The shot I have of the score clock is full-screen, so it would for sure have to be shrunk down and then moved to the corner. I've never tried such a thing in Vegas.
Part two of this would be the scoreboard. My plan is to put directly underneath the small score clock an abbreviated scoreboard graphic that changes score as the action unfolds. It would look kinda like this:
WIN 35
CV 30
and it would be in the upper right corner, just under the score clock. My plan is to just make a small graphic, move it into the upper right where it needs to be, and then change it on the timeline whenever it needs to be for a change in score. Do you have a suggestion for an easier or better way to accomplish this?
I appreciate any replies to these questions in advance!
Jason
