I Was Bored

Re: I Was Bored

Consider me freaked out. :'( I need to go back and look at JerryX's New World clips now...
 
Re: I Was Bored

OH MY GOD! That is TOO funny. I SWEAR I was just working on the same idea!

HAHAHAHA! Guess I don't need to go any further!

You ROCK Jersey Dan!

1) Film looking this way and that way
2) Export single frames from Vegas
3) Randomize the exported frames and import to Vegas as a new track
4) Cookie Cutter to replace one eye with randomized footage
5) Render to new track
6) 4 & 5 again for the other eye, but use velocity envelope to reverse the eye movement

It probably would look better to render the eye frames to a new track and use a bezier mask rather than the Cookie Cutter, but...it was 3 a.m. ;D

Re: I Was Bored

I'm interested to know, your step #2, did you CAPTURE single frames on importing the footage in step #1? I am trying to understand "Export single frames from Vegas". Thanks. Fun thing to do for practice...but may make my head explode. heh!

Vegas has a script that will export single frames as PNGs or JPGs (Tools | Scripting | Render Image Sequence). I exported them, then used a little program I wrote that randomizes the images by changing (renumbering) the filenames. Then I just selected the whole kit'n'kaboodle and dropped them on a track (first setting the duration for still images to .04 sec so they'd work on a 24fps timeline... Options | Preferences | Editing).

So, no. Captured as normal first, then did #2 and so on. SO much fun figuring out how this stuff works. Certainly less stressful than actually making a movie. ;)

Re: I Was Bored

;D I have four days off work with nothing on the to-do list but get acquainted with Vegas. Thanks!
 
Re: I Was Bored

Interesting approach...

I was just holding my head really still and rolling my eyes. Shift a copy of the video track and soft garbage matte around the other eye, then speed everything up.
 
Re: I Was Bored

That was awesome. I think a short burst of that with a cartoon double-take sound effect would be killer.
