Masking/Cloning in Sony Vegas Pro

No problem! I'm glad you found my video helpful.

Yeah, sometimes it's the little things that are left out of tutorials that can be confusing. I tried to cover the main points. I'm glad you were able to fix your problem using my tutorial. :)

yo thank you very much youv actually helped me out alot because i did everything and i was like why isnt this working. Once you said that the layer you mask has to be on top you fixed all my problems. thank you alot of other ppl forget to mention that

Sure, as soon as I get a green screen or something comparable to a green screen. That's one of the things on my "to do" list.

will you do a video on how to do this effct with green screen?

Unfortunately, no. Only sony vegas pro has the masking capability. Alternatively, you could probably use a green-screen method to create a similar illusion, but vegas pro is the only version that includes masking.

can u do this in regular sony vegas?

I don't have vegas in front of me right now so i can't go through to check it, but it may be under the help menu. There may be something under Help>>About Sony Vegas. Aside from that the only other way i could suggest is to check the pan/crop tool. If the masking option is there you have pro, if it is not then you have regular vegas.

Very carefully. The best way is probably to try to just make it look like they are touching. For example, masking it in such a way that one "clone's" arm is hidden behind the other's giving the illusion that one is touching the other's back. To do anything more intricate than that would require some VERY detailed masking. That's some advanced stuff there. You may also want to consider doing some green screening. That make it easier.

You're welcome, and thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you think so.

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful.

Excellent! I look forward to seeing your first attempt.

How can you make them touch?

Thanks for the tutorial. It was the best example i'v seen yet.

Thank you! :-)

You're welcome. :)

oh ok then! thanks for the info :D

The "pro" version is the only version that supports masking, unfortunately. If you have anything less than Vegas 8 pro you will not have the ability to do masking. :-(

can sony vegas 8.0 do masking? becuase when i go to the event pan/ crop button, it only shows me postion and ther'es no mask box.
