This is probably easy, but I am having a mind block right now (nothing new...). I want to create a photo montage in Vegas 7, where each picture on the first timeline is 7 seconds long and spaced 5 seconds apart. On the timeline below the first one, I will create the same thing but shifted5 seconds to the right. The final result will be that picture on 1st line fades into the picture on the second line then back and forth thru all pictures. The reason I am doing it this way, is because I have the brides pictures grouped in one file structure and the grooms in another and the bride wants me to interleave each one back and forth. I could physically drag each one, but that will take forever. It is like a reverse fade from one to the other on one timeline - instead of overlapping, you are spacing each picture farther apart. I checked to see if Ultimate S3 has that ability, but couldnt get it to do it. Any advise??? Thanks in advance!

should be able to do it with Ultimate S3. In vegas set default photo import length to 7 sec. In UltS3 - On photo Montage Tab in Placement area - check change placement and start at cursor. Set Fixed interval 12 sec. set cursor at 0, set image source on Filesystem tab. Then repeat above for second set except set cursor at 5 sec. The way I have described above is a cut to each picture so tou may want to look at applying a fade to each slide by using the Transition length or apply transition. and adjusting the timing a bit. This was quick idea but should get you near what you want. THE ABOVE ISn't exactly right but close. I'll work some more and get back to this ASAP rj < Message edited by rjkrider -- 6/11/2007 4:46:37 PM > (in reply to summersond) |

Thanks! I will give that a try. I think I tried that once but I tried several different things and could have messed up the setting.

That did the trick! Thank you so much! I knew there must be a quick way to do it, but didnt get the right combo. What I did after placing the pictures on the 2 timelines correctly was to select all pix on the 2nd timeline and drag them straight up onto the first causing an automatic 1 second fade for each picture. Now I can sleep in peace instead of pieces.

I was close not not exactly right. (no surprise!) Have Vegas Timeline cursor at 0. Set up UltS3 on Photo Montage in Placement area - Change Placement, Start at Cursor, Fixed interval 12 sec. Duration set to 7 sec., Load pix from file system. (note. If you select a group of pictures by shift click say pic0 through pic9 then once you have selected all the pix go back to the first pic and Ctrl Click twice that will get the pics loaded in order. Otherwise the first pic selected will be the last. This is just a quirk of MS selection). Click OK in UltS3. Then do again only cursor at 6 sec. Select 2nd set of pix. Then OK. Now makins sure default crossfade is set to 1 sec and that autocrossfade is on select all pix in second track and drag onto first track. rj (in reply to summersond) |

... and you want to make sure auto ripple is disabled, otherwise you will have a mess...
