vegas vid questions, please help
1-->i have vegas video 3.0. can i change the speed of the clip halfway through the clip or do i have to splice two parts of a clip together at diffrent speeds(what i'm doing now)? if i can change speed mid clip how do i do that???
2--> another question, i was playing around trying to enlarge and pan the video but i couldn't get it work right, i think there is a way but i just don't know how. how do i do this??
3-->a third question i thought of. can i cut out part of a video clip, like say i want just the rider against a background, can i do this, how??
final question is is vegas video 4.0 that much better and if so could someone hook me up. thanks........TED

Hope this helps you out and maybe someone else on here can answer the other questions for you.
PS- if anyone has a copy of Vegas 4, i'd like it too.

You could try creating a second clip, that's then modified using the brightness/contrast and black and white plugins (and possibly the colour correction ones, too) so that you get a black and white clip that you can then chroma key to create a mask
If that doesn't work, then you're looking at exporting each frame into something like photoshop and doing each frame manually

for the record rotoscoping is minipulating images frame by frame, be it in photoshop or something like after f/x or combustion.... which is what I would leave the video composting stuff to. While vegas and the like can do it, its not its strong point.
Either AFX or Comb will let you draw and animates a mask bewteen frames, with great ease and flexibitity. The Keyframe asst in both are also great for pans and exponental zooms

I can answer your first question. If you right click inside the video clip and choose 'insert/remove velocity envelope' it will put a line across the whole clip. that line represents Normal speed. Now right click on the line(you should see a finger pointing insead of the arrow) and 'add points'. add those points where you want the clip to slow down or speed up. After the 'point' is added, you should see a little square on the 'velocity line'. Just click and drag that square Down to slow down, or up to speed the video back up. When you click and drag it should also give you a percentage you are slowing down. Bring back to 100% for normal speed.

this is correct put u have to actually add 4 points on the line.......one to keep it at the original velocity (place that point at the end of the original velocity) one to move the velocity where u want (plasce that point at the beginning of the change in velocity) one opint to end the new velocity (place that at the last frame of the video section that u wanted to run at a different velocity) then the 4th point at the spot ehrre u wanna return to yer original velocity.(place that at the frame u want to go back to original velocity)

Make sure you haven't got 'Sync Curser' clicked unless you want the cropped clip to move to where you put it
Also unclick Stretch To Fill Frame if you just want to crop. You can also hold down the CTRL key when resizing the clip for more control
