Some Vegas Effects

[EleventhAkatsuki]

Okay, guys, more questions.

For examples of the effects I want to know how to do, I'm going to use the AMV here. I know this AMV is probably up here somewhere, and someone's going to post a link to it, saying something like:

"You mean the one [url=?]here?[/ url] "

But the point is that it's the same AMV.

Moving on, here's what I want to know how to do:

The effect used from 0:05-0:14. I know masking is involved for the front character, and the back is probably a picture file gotten by "screencapping" in VDub. But the 'bars' of animation going on and off (especially the "vibrating" ones used later in the clip), how do I make those?

At 0:28, they make Gin look... different, I suppose, on the beat. How did they make that happen? Same type deal at 0:31, I think.

Round 1:07, They get the masked character to be "colored in" oddly. I notice a similar odd coloring used for backgrounds on other AMV's, when some other part is masked. How do I get those? Just... random pictures, or are they in Vegas?

Same sort of question for 1:14, They gave Gin a blue hue and added a background. How'd that go? Plus, how'd they manage to have another clip playing on the side there?

1:38. How? Same basic idea as 3:24, I'd guess, although if it's different, I'd love to know how.

1:40 - Vibrating character. Again, how?

I hope you don't think I'm stupid, I've looked at all the effects on Vegas 6 (most of them just have something to do with coloring) and I can't manipulate them to get stuff like this. I assume there's something more. Help?

First of all. When linking to Youtube. Don't use the URL code thing to make a it a word. Cause that link us to youtube which is just a super search, so it's a pain in the ass if you want to actually get there, you're lucky I'm bored and patient, although. I don't know how lucky since I can't specifically to much.

A LOT of the things you're asking about are masking. The "Coloring In" of the characters was just them masking out the character and adding effects to make the color, you experiment with that.

The Vibrating character later on or whatever. They just did the ol' Opacity lowering One clip over the other, but they didn't just zoom in (making the pulse effect), they just shook it.

1:38 or whatever, that's just cookie cutter
