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...

Woudnt it be simpler to just be able to draw free hand? than guess where an arc is going to go off a tangent line?

Off the top of my head, the tangent only appears if you re-click the anchor. There are different edit tools on the left of the box too (delete, add etc)

Of course, once you've joined the points, you can add more points if you like and using keyframes, you can then alter the position of said points as the movie progresses.

You can also specify feather in/out/both by percentage too

Good luck, it's an art form in itself that tool and I agree, a freehand draw would be a logical add-on

I wish vegas had some of those clever outline tools that p shop has that take all the mousework out of masking.
