You would have to make a mask, then save the mask. Go to the background clip you want (such as the sky), and choose the mask you saved.

I'd suggest masking using Ps or AE than Sony.

Not photoshop. It's 10x harder. Have you ever used it?

I ddnt suggest Ps cos its easier, i suggested both cos when zooming in you wont lose as much quality as vegas, therefore getting better masking results.

Getting quality is always hardwork.

Lol, then we have tottaly different viewpoints. Well, my photoshop doesn't have the regular masking tool, just erasing, so thats whhat I meant by it.

@SenTrix Why would they need to zoom?
