Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default Moving Masks?

Hey there everyone! I'm new to the forums as well as new to Vegas. I originally used Adobe Premier Pro for all my video editting needs, but after seeing work from Vegas I decided it was more suited for my needed editting techniques. However, the project Im currently working on is very demanding. I understand how to use masks, it's immensely helpful... However, what about moving masks? Im trying to take a character from one series, and add them to a second series. Meaning, I want to take a completely out of place character and put it into a seperate clip. Now with masking this works fine, but the problem is, I want to have the character moving as well so that they can interact with the others. I have no idea how to go about doing this. Any ideas?

I could help you in adobe premiere but you're now in vegas but what you should do is keyframe it like you would in premiere .

RDNIS is correct - you use keyframes
More specifically, you use Bezier masks and keyframes -
On the event containing the character use open up Event Pan & Crop.
Check the tick-box at the bottom of the window labelled "Mask"
You can now draw a mask around the character.
Move forward a few frames and move/add/delete the anchor points to suit.
This will automatically create a new keyframe.
Repeat ad nauseum.
