Can anyone recommend a 3rd party transitions plug-in for Vegas? I've lately seen some video transitions that are basically dissolves, but have a very smooth look compared to what I get with the built-in Vegas transitions.
About a billion years ago, here on this forum, the was a chap who’d got together a stunning set of transitions exactly with the smoothness I believe you’re wanting.
You could take a look at Pixelan's Dissolve Master. Blurmaster is also pretty cool.
Grazie: I originate from somewhere around the Precambrian period of which I believe you speak. But memory fails me here, as it often does since somewhere in the Paleozoic. Is this transition set still available, and do you know if the developer is still among us?
Oops. You beat me to the punch. I'll check that out. Mucho thanks, sir.
Grazie: I found the site--an austere affair--and downloaded the two packages. One dissolves the image into a selectable number of cubes (meh), and the other has a more customizable handful of attractive dissolves. I'll definitely use the latter.
BTW, the site has not been updated since 2012, and the owner seems not to be tending it anymore. Seeing too much of that these days.
Thanks again for the tip.
I remember when I used Pinnacle for editing, it had a lot of Luminance based transitions. Some were very nice. With that one from the website Grazie mentioned, I believed you can create your own transitions using grey scale images.
