Just wondering if Grafittt is able to generate and animate titles as well as Live Type?

If not, which program would you use?

Rokta Bija · February 17th, 2005, 11:07 PM

I had the same problem viewing homework, stopped after only a few seconds.

I went to your website and downloaded the AVI version and got a good chuckle. I thought the effects were well done!

Rob Lohman · February 18th, 2005, 04:32 AM

Now that is a VERY interesting thing to know! Funny how these
things sometimes work eh.

Brian: I would advice you to look around the board for answers
of those questions. There are numerous threads (especially in
the HDV specific camera forums!) on your subjects. How to get
progressive from the interlaced camera's etc. This thread talks
about progressive PAL to progressive NTSC 24 fps.

Edward Troxel · February 18th, 2005, 08:52 AM

Yes it will animate text.

Thank you guys for information, I will recode again, and see what's goin on with it.

Total newbie here. I know this is probably an easy question to this, but I can't figure it out. I am trying to add audio effects to only a certain audio clip in the time line, but whenever I do, the effects come out on the entire track, all the clips even though I have split the audio clips on the timeline. For example, I want to change the pitch only on a certain section of video, but the whole video ends up being changed. There has to be an easy solution to this.....

Thanks,
BK

Don Bloom · February 18th, 2005, 03:33 PM

split the audio track at both the front and back ends of the area you wish to appy the audio effect and that should solve your problem

Edward Troxel · February 18th, 2005, 04:22 PM

You have two options:

1) Apply the effect to that one segment as a "Apply Non real-time Event FX"

2) Move that one segment to a new track and apply the effect to the new track (remember, you can have as many as needed)

I vote for #2.

Rokta Bija · February 18th, 2005, 07:47 PM

What did you use for the fireworks and smoke in her hands?

Brent Kovar · February 18th, 2005, 08:21 PM

duh! I feel like an idiot. I guess #2 should have been pretty obvious to me.

Thanks a bunch!

I had a copy of music video footage that I cut and played around with. I did the editing and color correction in Vegas. I did a presentation on the color correction part of it to a Toronto Final Cut Pro User's Group meeting, and you can see my notes at
http://www.glennchan.info/fcpugto/

You can download Quicktimes of the final music video, plus a side-by-side comparison of the uncorrected footage versus the final footage. As well, there are lots of roll-over images showing the steps I took.

A lot of it is aimed towards Final Cut Pro users but I believe it should have enough detail that Vegas users can figure out how to do it. I am very open to questions so if anyone wants instructions on how I did (blah) then I'd be glad to answer it. Just add a reply to this thread.

Vegas DVD comes with menu background presets of course, but how can I expand and/or download new menu background designs?
