One little function that can be easily overlooked in Photoshop is the ability to create a new layer below the current layer. Normally, one would simply click the Create a New Layer icon (Ctrl+Shift+N) to add a new layer above the current layer. To add a new layer below the current layer, hold Ctrl while clicking the New Layer icon.
I recently received a request from YouTube user Music201035 on how to create this double-image effect in Sony Vegas….
Whether you’re experiencing computer problems or capturing high scores, you need a way to put those screenshots…
Today, we’re going to take a look at turning HD footage into Surveillance Footage using Sony Vegas…
Sorting media in Sony Vegas can be very helpful when trying to keep your project organized. To create a bin, Right-Click a Parent Bin and choose Create New Bin. You can rename this bin as needed. Then, you can simply drag your media from the All Media bin to your new bin. This will only create a copy of the media to the new bin meaning, you can delete footage from bins with no affect on the actual clip.
You can de-clutter your Sony Vegas timeline by Grouping Tracks. Select two or more tracks to group together. Right-Click one of tracks and choose Track Group. Then, choose Group Selected Tracks. The tracks will now be grouped together and you’ll be able to close and expand the tracks in the group by clicking the Collapse/Expand Track Group button. This is especially useful for grouping similar tracks together and hide them when they’re not being worked on.
If you need to create space in between clips in Sony Vegas, you can do so by Inserting Time. Select where you want to insert the time and position the cursor. From the Insert menu, choose Time. In the Insert Time dialog box, enter the amount of time you want to insert and click OK.
To delete time…
In the case that you need to insert an empty event in the timeline, position the cursor where you’d like to insert the event and go to Insert > Empty Event. If an area is selected, the duration of the empty event will be as long as the area selected. The same can be done in audio tracks. Empty events can be placed in areas to separate video or audio and can be used with some event FX as an overlay.
To get a precise selection in Sony Vegas, hold down the Shift key and press the right or left arrow keys to select the region. This will allow you to move the selection in fine increments for those tough selections.
Splitting events in Sony Vegas can be very helpful when editing. It allows you to break a single event into multiple sections that you can edit independently. Position the cursor where you want to split the event and hit the shortcut key “S” on your keyboard. This can also be done within the menu bar by going to Edit > Split. An alternative would be to hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift and click where you want to split the event. You can also hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift and drag over an event to split it at the point you click and trim it.
You can select a wide range of events easily in Sony Vegas, by using the Selection tool. Click and drag the mouse pointer at any corner of the area you want to select. Release the mouse button when the desired events are highlighted.
