I'd love to have the kind of options I can get with the Secundary color corrector effect (with this one, I was able to replace my first blue screen with a flashy green ! But the same imperfections are still there). My problem is that it is not absolutely perfect because of the lighting and I find that the chroma key effect is lacking some options. I managed to light it quite correctly with some cheap work lights and managed to have a pretty good result with a few minutes playing with the Sony Vegas 11 chroma key effect. I'm in pre-production and the show begins Wednesday.I'm performing some tests with the chroma key, I already noticed that blue screen will not perform well for me (the subject is often in black, which doesn't match well with blue), so I got a green screen. I am sure that Boris would have worked better but I have no time to try and figure it out. Thanks again to all and for teaching me about composting.
Having a revelation, I took about 7 minutes of full frame fireworks and picture-in-pictured them in 4 more layers. I removed the audio explosions from my original because I felt they were annoying. Here is the result, base video wide shot (used a still for today's placeholder), with a photo of the honoree winning dog, then fireworks. Guess what, that is now called COMPOSTING.lol ! So Yellandkeil, you are the winner ! You win a date with my sister.
All I knew was a 1970's TV station video switcher setting NON-ADDITIVE MIX. regardless of resolution settings, it was really dinky image. I just couldn't get Boris to make a setup I liked. THANK YOU ! BTW This show will be all in 4K but send an HD to save space for your viewing. OK FOLKS ! I didn't want to reply until I tried everything listed here. IMPORTANT!

With this program, you can create your own fireworks display, render it off and import the render into Vegas Pro.
How successful it is will depend on how distinct the fireworks are, and you might need to preview the three alpha choices to see if one is better than the other.Īn alternative would be to have a look BorisFX's free standalone Particle Illusion - (and also get the free Emitters as well) - as it has lots of fireworks. avi event should then be treated as alpha and not 'disappear' leaving just the non-black images showing over the lower video tracks. Anything that is black in the uncompressed. In Properties, go to the Media tab and in the Alpha Channel field, select one of the bottom three alpha selections. avi event on to Vegas Pro's timeline on an upper track and then R click the video event and select Properties from the context menu. avi uncompressed video event - the size of that file will be very large. After selecting the preferred render template, click on Customize Template and in the Video Format field select 'Uncompressed', then check the 'Render Alpha Channel' checkbox.
One possible solution is to render the fireworks footage to the Video for Windows format in Render As.
