WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 5
3. The motion blur envelope affects all tracks. To bypass motion blur for a track, select the Bypass Motion
Blur button ( ) in the track header.
4. To change blur type, choose a setting from the Motion blur type drop-down list on the Video tab in the
Project Properties dialog. This setting determines the shape of the blur and the opacity of the frames.
Adding a video supersampling envelope
Video supersampling can improve the appearance of computer-generated animation by calculating
intermediate frames between the project's frame rate, allowing you to create smoother motion blurring or
motion from sources such as track motion, event pan/crop, transitions, or keyframable effects.
Note: The effect of video supersampling is less apparent with
video that contains fast motion, and supersampling cannot
improve the appearance of existing video.
1. Right-click the video bus track, choose Insert/Remove Envelope from the shortcut menu, and then choose
Motion Blur Subsampling from the submenu.
2. Add and adjust envelope points as necessary to indicate how many frames will be calculated between
frames (using the project’s frame rate) to create the blur.
Note: Video supersampling significantly increases your
rendering time. For example, when you set the video
supersampling envelope to 2, Vegas renders twice as many
frames as it would without supersampling. Adjust the
envelope to apply supersampling only where necessary.
Adding effects to video bus tracks
Click the Video Output FX button ( ) in the bus track header to add or edit video output effects. If there are
no video output effects, clicking this button displays the Plug-In Chooser. If you've already set up video
output effects, clicking the button displays the Video Output FX window.
Muting the video output
Click the Mute button ( ) in the bus track header to mute all video output.
Bypassing video effects and envelopes
Click the Bypass FX and Envelopes button ( ) in the bus track header to bypass all video output effects and
bus track envelopes.
Resizing video bus tracks
You can drag the horizontal splitter between the track list and bus tracks to increase or decrease the space
allocated to bus tracks. Perform any of the following actions to resize individual bus tracks:
• Drag a bus track's bottom border to set its height.
• Click Minimize ( ) to minimize a track vertically.
• Click Maximize ( ) to zoom in vertically so a bus track fills the lower portion of the timeline.
• After minimizing or maximizing a bus track, click Restore ( ) to return a bus track to its previous height.
• Press + + / when the bus track area has focus to resize all bus tracks at once.
