I wonder if VEGAS Pro's Track Motion module has a feature that allows you to change the track motion for the X and Y (and Z if 3D Source Alpha is enabled) axes separately, much like ProType Titler allows you to. It would be real neat feature to have, especially if you're doing an effect where characters are jumping but also turning around at different points.
(EDIT: Such as here in ProType Titler:)
All 3 axis' should move independently of each other. You can set keyframes for each axis as well.
Woah I just an idea on how this could be accomplished.
Have one axis' motion in Track Motion, and then the other axis' motion in Pan/Crop.
Still wonder if it's possible to do it entirely within Track Motion, though.
All 3 axis' should move independently of each other. You can set keyframes for each axis as well.
Huh. Keyframes for each axis doesn't show up for me automatically.
For reference I should say I'm using VEGAS Pro 15. IDK if independent axes were introduced in a later version of VEGAS.
Here I'm able to move the square shape around the screen as you say, even using 3D source alpha to make it spin when and where I want it to.
Thank you for your demonstration, kind sir. However, I was more talking about something like this (courtesy of ProType Titler):
Here, in ProType Titler, I am able to set the motion of the X axis differently from the Y axis, as in the two axes change differently (as opposed to the normal Track Motion keyframes where the X and Y axes are changed together – if one of the axes do change). I can even have one axis have the Smooth effect and the other axis have the Linear effect.
The X and Y axis do not change together in track motion, if I move the X axis and do nothing on the Y, there is no keyframe recorded for the Y, however, it seems what you are after is to be able to edit the keyframes individually, and yes, that would be something nice to see added, especially when it comes to using smoothing and such. Vegas Effects is capable of this.
