Hey guys! I looked around a bit, but couldn't find the answer to this...

Where can I get clips of generic nature scenes, like a beach or sky or field?

Also, in Vegas if I wanted to "stack" scenes, like have the character's clip on top of a nature scene, do I just drag it over the top? Can I make the nature scenes more translucent to be able to see the character better?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to Vegas Thanks guys

Can't really help you with the first question, but I can with the second!

If you want to stack clips in Vegas and make one more translucent, here's how you do it:

Put the clip you want to stay opaque on the timeline (preferably in the 'Video' line), then put the clip you want to appear more translucent in above it (on the 'Video Overlay' line).

Then, put your cursor near the top of the clip on the Video Overlay line, and you should see a little pointy hand come up. Click, and drag downwards, and there'll be a little line that comes down as you drag. This is how you change the opacity of a clip.

If you want a visual tutorial to explain it slightly better, then make sure to check the Vegas tutorials thread as there should be something in there. If not and you're still unsure, PM me and I'll do some screencaps for you.

Thank you so much AlcoholicPixie, I would have never figured that out on my own!!

Still looking for an answer about nature clips though, I might have to start emailing vid makers on youtube

No probs! You could always PM Borislava and ask her - I know for a fact that in her 'Chasing Cars' vid she used clips of flowers opening etc.
