VEGAS Pro 19 Update 1 (build 381) - General Discussion
I am still using Vegas pro 10 for my pro work, mainly corporate clips because everything suits my workflow and all my plugs work, I can run Boris red on an empty event, and so forth. I have 11 pro = never use it because 10 works. in the past, the newer updates the 3d layers in Vegas wasn't working properly. in the latest version are the layers working...do they even have 3d layers? I want to start working with 4k stuff and render it to 4k. so need to make a plan. for example = I used BluffTitler for the 3D intro in this clip and composited in Vegas 10 pro...this can be done in Vegas if the layers are compositing correctly. The last time I checked it wasn't from a trial version, I think it was 17 pro.

RENDERING TO SPECIFIC RESOLUTION
what scheduler application is triggering the content? "i have worked with a few that are international". or is it a "flyway" live feed from a steamer like a matrox? is the screen LED? most systems run mp4 so render mov and select mp4. some digital billboards when you render the content to spec it looks scary but plays perfectly.

Note to Self, Always Record Ambient Audio
always , always. walla isn't just noise its always relative to a specific ambiance scene, sometimes you can use generic and it works. sometimes I forget. I have a field recorder always in my gear. If you don't see it you can forget.

Custom Transitions
add fx to the existing standard Vegas transition can also give you some extra creativity

Custom Transitions
you can create animated masks = transit on Ferrari > check the end of clip< and save them as veg files then use the veg file as transitions = anything can be a transition like a light leak for example

practice your critical viewing...
Eye contact is missing. watch this scene the eyes say more than words do. even if it is a quick glance look at the scene or this scene

Title Effect: Fade in from Dust and/or out to Dust
here is a quick example of using the lighter values of the clip to shatter the text like dust . this is only with fx 2D particle. as i said above you can use the shatter and the particle because the shatter bits are still very big.

@ IAM4UK = "I think the Mesh_Shatter could be perfect if I could figure out how to make the particles move sideways instead of up/down" = in attributes . velocity mode select left -right

Title Effect: Fade in from Dust and/or out to Dust
with Boris you can try this = get yourself some footage like this render it out to an image sequence. in Boris on your text/image right click = distortion filter 2D particles. in your control window = soft explosion > scatter wipe tab tick custom gradient on the timeline > on the TL select the image sequence and key the explosion time properties. if you have boris blue use the standard mesh shatter but with the effect on the text/image

Alpha masking track issue with dodge composite
the answer i think could be if an effect is applied to artwork that is masked then if the artwork bleeds beyond the mask the effect will run over the entire artwork and the mask will not mask out the effect = therefor black bleed Here is another example the artwork for the dodge has an effect applied. so i have a red and green arrow used as a mask with the same artwork with tv sim effect = artwork masking elements all match. so no bleed but i also have a mask for the video track which does not match but no effect has been applied to the scratches etc which are dodged composite direct on the video track. this is the the only aspect i can put it down to.

Editing esthetics with drone footage.
the problem with too much drone footage for me personally it can disconnect the viewer so set the scene or establish the scene. I played around a bit used some time lapse and cut between the drone shots = shot of the drone and the footage from the drone. Couldn't resist . it was raining but not heavy so sneaked in some shots. this place is so beautiful but slaves would jump to their death here rather than be enslaved. for them the beauty was a beast.

How to put video behind semi-transparent faces?
anything can be a mask = You can use the gradient values as a mask or even the color values as a mask then mask that within a alpha mask. had some fun with my drone and a local dog..."who nose a good thing" using mask to play around with some drone footage and masked is layered in 3D parent track

Render whit 32 bits (video levels), while using 8 bit video files.
its connected = linked like a marriage if you only understand or focus on the one side you fail to see other side then you fail overall. the post is about banding caused by an 8-bit image pushed out of its range. an 8-bit image, which gives us 16.8 million possible colours . so do you need more? Working in 32 bit with an 8 bit image won’t give you more of what you don’t need. AND CAN’T GET. is the point https://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/16-bit/ So for example here is a 8 bit clip normal from my camera then I pushed the levels in 8 bit SO if I work in 32 bit video levels and output = same.

Render whit 32 bits (video levels), while using 8 bit video files.
keep in mind the human eye can't see 16.8 million colors so when placed side by side, an 8-bit version and a 16-bit version of an identical image will look = identical to us. Also if the original is 8 bit you can't pump out a 16 bit render and get better than the 8 bit. so where is the benefit then? Flexibility or Elasticity in the tonal values of your edit so since you have 8 bit bicycle adding another wheel will mean you have to carry it while trying to steer. just go with the 8 bit and enjoy the ride.

Multi layer / track zoom (alternative to parent track motion)
the issus is also Set that when you nest the veg the camera motion canot be brought farward to the new veg file so is rendered at the current parent veg file project settings. so why nest it then? nesting can help with compositing issues but thats about it

Multi layer / track zoom (alternative to parent track motion)
When you set up the scene make sure nothing is in front of Zero in z space. Or minus space in z space. Make things bigger in + z space so your camera pan always stops at zero in z space. The perspective will stay the same = bigger things in the background look the same as smaller things in the foreground = same thing. result everything is in focus if that is what you want.Also set up a square work size 2000 x 2000 square pixel. Example Or like this sample my back ground work space size or project size is say 3000 x 3000 but everything moves x,y and almost no z spacemotion . the camera moves only + in z space.

"3D Sandwhich"
if you have an image = background image before the actual action and the camera is locked down then use the image as a mask. always shoot blank back shots = always you never know when you will need them they come in handy in your edit in lots of different ways this took me a few minutes so it is not tweaked but it will give you an idea.

ProType Titler : want to change preset for a text?
When you say span are you asking time span? So for example I use pop up but I want the time span to extend and start at a marker and complete the sequence at another marker Then you have to first select the overall time and in Titler = match event length icon which you already have set up markers for. Then slide your header play in PTT to the marker time so the in out of the text matches. I am busy with a project clip so I will quickly make a new project add text for a visual . check the end for images BTW Vegas does not have match marker in PTT we have asked in the past but nudda nothing = you can’t get everything you want so we still happy BUT IT WOULD BE NICE.

Render with transparent background without QT
if you want the clip with audio then use AVI uncompressed if you want a sequence without audio then render to a image sequence use PNG or DPX In Vegas you may have to check your file type on re-import of PNG sequence as premulitplied DPX might be an issue if you import into another application for working on

ProType titler - Can't see the presets menus
the spline node is not a preset option anymore = it changed to right click add a curve for spline node presets. so they are still there. first create the motion node then right click add curve.
