Request for advice for a sweeping effect between an image without calibration and one that is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpcT_r1lb7Y

Hi guys, I'm trying to achieve the effect that we see in this video, this scanning between the d-log image then little by little the calibrated image intervenes. I think it's very simple but I get confused with the transitions and I get stuck. Thank you so much !

Making the edit cursor jump to next event / by X seconds across timeline?

I have hundreds of short audio-video events on my timeline and I'd like to just press PLAY and then hit a key on my keyboard to make the edit cursor jump forward to the next event in line (or by 6 or 8 seconds forward) on the timeline to quickly audition / preview the audiovideo events. I can do it right now by pointing and clicking my mouse anywhere on the timeline when the project is playing, but I'd like to do it via a keyboard shortcut because my mouse finger is killing me. Anyone?

Question about isolating moving objects in order to create green screen background

Hi. I want to know, is there some convenient or easier method, I would like to basically keep the moving vines in this clip, but make the background green so I can use this as a cool transition. I assume it's possible with masking and meticulous keyframe positioning for every single frame but I wondered if there's an easier method?

Video Track FX Proper Order? (Left to Right or Right to Left?)

https://preview.redd.it/xxubu6xezxxd1.png?width=698&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d792ba8a5b38216f92505abeb1ad0959cb01166

Which way does the video track fx order work? does the left or right most fx come first? or does it not matter?

I tried to google this but I couldn't find anything talking about this specific fx order. Maybe im calling it the wrong thing

Old School Music video - Best Method?

Vegas Pro 22, Windows 11, NVidia GeForce RTX 3060

Guys I'm making a traditional video where I will be playing all the instruments myself.

How many of you would:

  • Produce the the entire song in the DAW and then separately record and mime the video parts

or

  • Shoot the video (1 for each instrument) and record the sound track on the DAW (1 for each instrument) at the same time and then combine them to make the video?

Seems to me #2 would be the most authentic because you'd be playing each actual scene, but man it's a lot to juggle.

Thoughts?

Key framing rendering issue

This problem cannot be found anywhere.

I’m rendering this video that’s key-framing an image on top of a video following a certain direction. It’s an image with text covering another line of text within the video.

Every-time I render the video it’s always out of sync. To make sure nothing bad happens, I animated and added a new keyframe in every single frame to make sure nothing goes out.

Despite this, the problem remains the same. In the preview, it looks great, nothing goes out of sync. But when rendered (tried in both MP4 and MPG, wanted it rendered in a MPEG-DVD format) it’s always off.

Does anybody have any advice on how to fix this?

make a sfx mpact on vegas.can someone know?

I've been trying to make some impact effects that exist in the anime Jojo, it almost worked, but I can't calibrate the power, so that it can be used in the background for another sound, "I used express equalization", with "smooth/enhance" but I didn't test it with distortion.

Does anyone know of any Vegas plugins (or external ones) to make the effects?

Before you ask why I use Vegas and not an audio editor, know that I want to do this in real time within the video editing, that would be a great help, if anyone knows how to do it, I'd be grateful

It's not necessary, but just in case, my Vegas and PC information:

Vegas Pro 15 (Purchased by Steam before it was removed)

Laptop with Widows 11

Any easy way to copy the cuts from one track to another?

Heya,

As the title says - is there any easy way to copy the cuts from one track to another?

For context, here's the situ:

So I just finished cutting down some footage from a client, involving a lot of tiny cuts over the course of several hours of footage.

In the end, We agreed it needed a little external work on the audio (Music removal - if anyone wondering why I couldn't do it in Vegas or directly to the source material).

I exported the project as audio, did the external work and imported in the edited audio to a new track. This brings us to the query; I'd like to know if it's possible to copy the existing cuts from the footage to the newly imported audio element so that they can be grouped together.

Obviously, I could always fallback to applying the music removal to the source footage but as mentioned before its 10+ hours long and my vocal isolator can only handle 20 mins at a time, so that wouldn't be an ideal solution.

To preemptively answer the bot's questions:
-What version of Vegas: 21 Pro
-What exact graphics card: Nvidia 3080.
-Windows: 11 (and it sucks)
-Is it a pirated copy: For once - nope!
-Have you searched the subreddit: Yep, Couldn't find anything that matched my question.
-Have you Googled this issue yet: Yep, see above.

Next frame while inside of Event Pan/Crop

I'm trying to track an object by adjusting the pan on every frame, but the next frame key combination moves the pan position instead of advancing one frame.

I've Googled it and checked here on Reddit- tried to make a new key combination that doesn't involve the arrow keys, but that doesn't help.

I'm using the latest Vegas but it's consistent on 12,13,14 as well.

Is this really the intended behavior? It's weird that such an important feature is missing

Is there a way to completely merge subtitles with a video clip?

I'm making a video which requires me to import the full copy of a film in a foreign language, and I also need the subtitles. I got them separately and imported them, but them being all chopped up makes it a nightmare to work with, since I will also be chopping up the movie file and need the subtitles to stay in sync as I move it around. Grouping is obviously insufficient as I have to create a new group everytime I split the video. I don't wanna have to keep reselecting and grouping large numbers of subtitle tracks, so is there a way to merge it with the video, that doesn't require me to render the whole movie and import the result (as that would take forever and be very inefficient)?

Finding the bottleneck in my render..

I'm involved in video editing, and I'm trying to determine whether component upgrades or a new system is in order. I see a definite slowdown as I add more filters and other requirements to a video render, but when I go to the system resources window, nothing shows at being particularly taxed. My CPU shows 25% use, GPU 20%, Memory 50%, none of the hard drives seems to be above 25%. I can't seem to find the bottleneck.

The system : Motherboard MSI B450-pro, R7-2700, 16 GB memory, Windows 10, Radeon W5500, Vegas 18-purchased

Any suggestions as to how to find the culprit?

Presets and or Templates

So one of my biggest problems when editing a video is the monotony of creating the same animations for text or images over and over again. having to go into 'Picture in picture' and map out the animation I want the media to use frame by frame, I use a lot of text in my videos and I use a handful of the same types of animations (text jerking onto the screen and then leaving again). What I'm getting at is.

Is there anyway to save these into a file, and then inject them into another project when I need them? I tried just saving them as a nested save, and originally I thought it worked, but then I realized I can't go back and edit the text to display what I want it to during that new use of it and or slightly modify what frame the animation stops or where it stops. I hope I'm explaining this right and I'm sure this has been answered a million times on here, so I apologize for cluttering the timeline. I'm using Vegas 19, and its an actual copy not a pirated one.

thank you :)

Its been some time since i used Vegas Pro. I dont remember the text and the buttons being this big, i feel like Vegas Pro thinks i have a FullHD Monitor(Mine is 2560x1440 tho). Is there a way to 'rescale' it?

Vegas 22 Crop Function Slows Down Preview/Rendering to Unusable Speeds

Working with MP4 file from a Sony ZV-1. Files work fine while I move them in the timeline and trim them. The moment I add a crop to them, Vegas grinds to a halt. Rendering is pretty much impossible (although if I were willing to wait days, it would probably still go), the preview window is slow (if I click on the clip with the crop, Vegas freezes up for a few minutes, then will generate the frame), and the crop window is slow (adjust the crop and I have to wait a few minutes before the crop window updates and Vegas can be used again).

Any ideas? I've used files from this camera for a few years without issues; no settings have been changed. I opened up some old projects with files from the same camera and no issues, so the issue seems specific to this project. I am on build 122 of Vegas 22. The project is only about 8 minutes long.

Vegas Pro 10 scrolling down automatically

On my Vegas Pro 10, everything suddenly wants to scroll down. When I try to change font size, it automatically increases. When I try to open program files in folders full of stuff, the scroll bar goes down automatically. It's only in Vegas, not other programs. No keys are stuck down. Mouse seems fine outside of old-school Vegas. It just randomly started doing this after years of heavy use. What's going on? How do I fix this?

The audio glitches a little, speeds up and slows down for no reason, is this file damaged to the point of no repair?

Basically title.
I'm using vegas pro 15, cracked, but it wouldn't bring these kind of problems. I think it has to do with the fact that the archive crashed once, actually my PC crashed a lot of times today. Is there a way to fix the archive? I can edit the video just fine, but in both preview and rendered, the audio will go laggy and I think there's some black squares (like voids in the video).

Is there a "Find FX in Timeline"?

This is probably a really stupid question but apparently one of the effects I used a lot in a project, the Boris Sapphire Digital Damage effect, is causing VEGAS to crash while rendering. And I, stupidly, applied it to a LOT of clips in a project, rather than just applying it to a track and putting all the clips I wanted the effect on in that track. Since realizing that's the cause of the crashes I've gone through and attempted to remove every instance of the effect in my project, but the problem is every time I think I've removed every instance and try for a render, the render crashes at another part of the video that I forgot the effect was applied to.

Apparently I'm missing some clips, so while I'm searching through and trying to remove it all one by one, I'm also wondering if there's any way to automatically detect which clips in a project have a given effect applied to them. I know with media sources you can "select media in timeline" and it will select every clip that contains that media, is there something similar for effects?

VEGAS 15 specifically, though I'll absolutely upgrade if later versions have that
