The post Frame Jitter Effect in Sony Vegas appeared first on Robert's Productions | Post Production Tips.

We’ve all seen it at least once. You watch a music video and one of the effects you see is a strobe like frame by frame flash that goes to the beat. As requested, we’ll be taking a look at how to do just that in Vegas Pro 12. We’ll be using general features not bound to just Vegas Pro so feel free to apply these techniques to your favorite editing platform.

Inspiration

Eminem – No Love ft. Lil Wayne @ 1:25 http://j.mp/11lVScL

Harlem Shake Times Square NYC feat. NYPD @ 0:20 http://j.mp/11lVZ8f

The post Music Video Flicker Effect appeared first on Robert's Productions | Post Production Tips.

Have you ever tried editing a music video with a multi-camera sequence where you need to sync the two video clips together, but you never get it just right? You zoom in as far as you can on the timeline to move the clip up or down a frame but you just can’t get it right. The clip keeps snapping to the frame boundary and you’re not able to get it synced. By now, you probably pulled a few hairs out and no longer need a haircut! Well, look no further. The snapping of boundaries is caused by having “Quantize to Frames” turned on. It forces edits to snap to the time ruler points in the timeline.

To turn off Quantize to Frames, simply go to, “Options” – “Quantize to Frames”. Click it once to un-check it and disable it. Click it again to check it and enable it. You can also use the shortcut key, “Alt+F8”.

Go ahead try it out, add two video clips stacked on the timeline and move them around. They snap to each frame. Now, turn off “Quantize to Frames”. You’ll notice there’s no more snapping and you’re now able to move the clips around freely.

Vegas does however mention that edits in which do not occur on frame bounderies can produce an undesirable visual result. Therefore, I’d only turn this off when syncing together music videos or any other multi-camera sequences.

Quantize to Frames On:

Notice how the time indicator(highlighted) is sitting directly on a frame boundary. Quantize to Frames is turned on in this example.

Quantize to Frames Off:

Notice how the time indicator(highlighted) is sitting in-between a frame boundary. Quantize to Frames is turned off in this example.
