At the 6-month mark with Vegas now. The biggest kick I get is that I frequently stumble across a different way of doing something, and learn a little more everytime I use it.

I expect that it will be a long time before I've looked at everything it has to offer. It's a great piece of software.

I've been teaching a FCP user how to use Vegas, he's blown away by it.
The most common comment. "It's THAT easy?!"
Bob.
PS, it was SPOT who sold him on it.

Spot's energy about vegas is very convincing, and especially when he starts talking about audio!

Yes, after three years there's still heaps of features I haven't tried out yet.

Last week I needed a duck to say a few words (don't ask...) - and used a bezier mask on a solid grey/brown colour to create the bottom part of the duck's bill - a simple triangle - and keyframed it's position in time with the dialogue.

Took about half an hour, and the clients were blown away.

No embarrassment Grazie - just trying to keep things short ..... so anyway .....

I have a client who runs a group of resorts/hotels etc, and I'd interviewed 20 of their staff in various locations, including one where a duck landed on the nearby swimming pool and was happily paddling around. Not being one to miss an opportunity, I grabbed some WS/MS/CU shots just in case ...

I decided to end the presentation by opening a "looney toons iris", good ole Cookie Cutter, around the duck whilst it said
"I love XXXXXXXX ! Great pool, but no fish!" (XXXX being the Group name)

Anyway, it cracked them up.

Rule 1. Keep 'em smiling.
(Rule 2. There is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rule 2.)

Did the duck get union rates?
And please settle the other argument, when it talked was there any echo?
Bob.

<"Did the duck get union rates?"

Yep - plus swimming allowance. It didn't speak very clearly, though, so I had to dub the voice myself. Very hard to get that Muscovy accent.

p.s. Bob - re the echo - this duck definitely has a multi-tap delay .... and a tree fell in the forest recently, making a huge crash. There was no-one there to hear it, but I had left a tape recorder nearby so I KNOW it made a noise.
