Alex, thanks for the article. I'll have to check Premiere to see if I can now play with some of my images like that.

Keep up the work.

Great little tut! I find it really timely too, because I've finally gotten sick and fed up with Premiere, and am trying out Vegas 4 for the first time.

I think it was because of a recent tiny short I edited on a Final Cut Pro 3 workstation. I realized how archaic Premiere really has become. Yeah I know FCPro is a much more expensive tool, but that's not my point. Premiere just feels old and clunky now. Especially now in the day of XP with its slick interfaces and faster, XP optimized applications, (which Premiere is not). I have high hopes for Vegas...

Thanks Alex. I recently upgraded to Vegas 4 from Video Factor and then Vegas 3, so I'm going to try a lot of these techniques on my next short. For the first short I did, I simply altered the color curves and brightness, but didn't go beyond that.

That's because it is old and clunky! :-)

I have some hope for v7 (especially a more usable motion dialogue). We shall see.

Yeah, I expect Adobe to do something good with Premiere 7, since Vegas 4 has taken over. Gotta love competition. Many months ago, Adobe contacted someone I talk to online and asked him if he would like to be a beta tester for Premiere 7, since the guy said he liked his videos, his website, and knew he used Premiere...i'm pretty sure he said yes. Hopefully he did go through with it, so I can get some word on if it's good or not. :D
