Done exclusively in Vegas

Gerald Webb · October 4th, 2010, 04:33 AM

Hey People, It's time to share, If everyone participates this could be game changing for alot of us.
Please submit one or two of your best "tricks", some combination of FX or compositing that you think is cool that most of us wouldnt think to do in Vegas.
Titling,
keyframing,
compositing modes,
3D,
whatever....
I'll throw out 2 that I've already got on the net..
YouTube - Sony Vegas Intro

and a tutorial if anyone's bored
YouTube - 3D Text part 2

Can I ask that you Pro guys participate as well, even if your not going to learn much from this, it sure makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside to give something back to people that are learning.
cheers people :)
ps. Thanks for the title Mike.

Thanks for sharing Gerald! I bookmarked your tutorial and will give that a try.

Mike Kujbida · October 4th, 2010, 01:23 PM

Thanks very much Gerald.
What you've done in your tutorials is something I've never played with in Vegas (AE scares me!!) but you make it look very easy.
Maybe Edward can add a "Compositing Tutorials" sticky so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle in the next few days.

Your welcome,
wow, I thought more people would offer up some goodies.
I'm feelin kinda lonely.
Come on people, share the love.
:)

There's already a tutorials sticky. I don't see a reason right now to create a specific compositing tutorial category. Just add them to the tutorial sticky.

Hey Gerald. Very good to see another Vegas user on the Central Coast.

Gerald Webb · October 10th, 2010, 12:49 AM

hey Don, always nice to see the locals.
Can I borrow a camera...... lol, just kidding.
if you ever need a hand filming or extra hands on a shoot, just yell.
cheers
:)

Don Meers · October 10th, 2010, 04:38 PM

Yes Gerald. Always need crew, cameras and especially Vegas editors. Can you send through contact details? PM me here if you like.

Gerald Webb · October 10th, 2010, 05:03 PM

Gerald Webb · October 20th, 2010, 03:33 AM

All done in Vegas.*

YouTube - SHORT STACK: THIS IS BAT COUNTRY (trailer) 12.11.10

* I did make a cpl of texts in photoshop.

Don Meers · October 21st, 2010, 02:06 PM

Excellent stuff mate.

Jeff Harper · October 21st, 2010, 07:27 PM

Wow. Superb. I've just watched several Short Stack videos, they are all amazing. I loved Sway Sway Baby. I loved the rabbit. Great band. Great videos.

Gerald Webb · October 21st, 2010, 10:15 PM

thanks guys,
all Short Stack's vids are directed by the very brilliant Dan Reisinger. I was lucky enough to be on set for the Sweet December film clip, was amazing to watch the pros at work, you can learn so much.
I believe the new Disco Honey clip is to be made public sometime in the next 24 hrs, should be amazing. I'll post a link when I have it.
:)
