Lost Video Island

[Lost Sheep]

I have a picture that I opened up in vegas i'm trying to make it play as a video and adding the old film effect. I thought it had an option to animate it but i can't find it. It adds the effect but nothing moves. Any help would be appreciated.

Heya Lost Sheep! Look down at the bottom of the Film Effects and you should see one (or more) little timelines with the name of the effect to the left of it. There should be a little triangle or diamond shape at the very left of that timeline. If you click down farther on the timeline, then go up to the controls for the effect and make some slight changes in the levels, you should see a new triangle/diamond thing appear on the timeline where your cursor was. That's a keyframe and it's the key (no pun intended ) to animating pretty much anything in Vegas.

You can slide the keyframes around on that timeline, you can click them again and change the levels, or you can create a new keyframe and delete the old. There's a lot of possibilities! If that doesn't seem to work to make it do anything, let me know and we'll try to figure out what's going wrong! Good luck!
