Commercial with Great Split Screens!

I saw a commercial for this video game, where the game was playing, and then shrunk it into the top left...then shrunk it and moved it to the top right and so on...all while moving!

Can Vegas do that?
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

Simply put, yes. Of course I didn't see the commercial. :D
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

Hey man thanks. I'm much more of a writer/director/DP than an editor... :-/

Wish I could be better or more experienced, but I'm not, so I have to ask...even if I sound stupid.

Thanks a lot for the response.
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

You're welcome. I'm still looking for the commercial to see how it was done, but based on the description, I'd bet someone can do a reasonable copy of its style. Vegas is very amazing. ;D
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

Phil,
It's accomplished using track motion in most instances. I've not see the commercial you're talking about either, but using the track motion, you can easily and quickly create huge videowalls, brady bunch type multiple screens, and lots more.
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

You can also do it through pan/crop. Vegas has many ways to do the same thing.
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

True, you can do this through pan/crop, but potentially at a loss of resolution, which is why I generally recommend Track Motion. In the "Naked Vegas" book, the author uses Pan/Crop for this sort of thing, and now people are asking why their images are washed out.
But yeah, the absolute beauty of Vegas is that there are at least 2 and usually more, methods of doing almost everything.
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

Sho'nuff. The problem is greater, though, when the image is made larger; here, the image would be made smaller.

I only suggest pan/crop, though, because it's a little easier for the novice and only affects the clip, not the track.

Hey Phil, teach me to be a better DP and I'll teach you how to be a better editor  ;D
 
Re: Commercial with Great Split Screens!

No...that just shows how bad at editing I am... ;D
