Vegas 7.0 question

Post by Lt. Cmdr. Samuels » Sat Nov 03, 2007 1:30 pm

Okay, im used to WMM and I know it sucks. So i upgraded to Vegas and I've been wanting to make some AMVs but I have a slight problem. I want the program to make clips like WMM and have it in a small table where i can drag it in. Instead it imports the entire episode as a single clip.

Yep, you're going to have to make the clips yourself. Vegas has no auto-clipping feature.

to speed up you may either use velocity or just edit footage properties.

Easier way : no.

No one mentioned that Vegas has a video trimmer to cut out clips in an easy way in the program itself. There you can cut out the clips you need from the episodes and place it in the timeline.
You can find me on YT under "Bauzi514". Subscribe to never miss my AMV releases. :amv:

1 of my problems with the trimmer is that i need to highlight the sections. Also, final question.

If i record footage of like a torpedo. is it possible to have it move on the screen then dissapear at a certain point? cuz the picture of the torp would be stationary but i wanna animate it moving.
