Theres a button on the video track controls called video compositing or somehting and you can change the track to hard light and stuff like that I think that might be how you do it.

I was wondering how to do it for a while, but I think I figured out how to

Not sure if its exactly the same as the example though

If you save a grunge texture (or whatever texture you want) as a .png file on photoshop then import the file to vegas and just put it on a video track

dunno if that makes any sense

lol

theres some textures that I use that are free you can download them from here get the .png ones

I used a heavy one for the example, obviously some look better than others.

Hope it helps / is what you meant lol

Ooo, thanks for the screencaps and everything, Emma!

That was awesomely done and very clear and understandable! Thanks again!

You know what messes me up? No matter what I do, .PNGs never have any transparency to them when I import them into Vegas!

They always have a white background.

Even .GIFs don't retain their transparency. So whenever I use something like that, I have to put a blue background under it, save it like that, then when I import it into Vegas I use the chroma keyer to remove the blue again but it often keeps a weird "halo" around the texture that I don't like.

Hmmm, What program do you use for your images Ais?

I'm pretty sure Vegas supports photoshop files so you can just save it as a photoshop file and import it into vegas and it should have the transparent background. Would have thought Baby Vegas would too.

.png also support transparent backgrounds which Vegas uses easily. Plus, unlike .gif you don't lose a lot color quality.

Hey guys, I'm doing a vid about Chase/Cameron in House MD. And this time up and working with Vegas

Anyway

the song I'm using is kinda beat-use-friendly ("Untouched").... and I've come up with a way to make it kinda easy to make small flashes at the beats, and that is by making an empty text thingy over the video and match all those so they match the beats (most often it's the same beats all the time in the same song, of course) and I was just wondering... I came up with this and I'm just about to try and see if it works, but I haven't read anything about it anywhere so I'm just wondering - are there gonna be any problems for me doing it this way rather than the "cut in the clip and make a flash and time it"-way?

And if you guys know about this since years back, then just ignore me

Here's how it looks

...so, basically I just wanna know that I'm doing this right

Johanna, I think that's a very clever way to handle the beat use! I haven't tried that yet myself but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work! I don't watch House very faithfully but I do watch a lot of House vids for some reason, lol!

So I'll definitely check it out when you have it done!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
