How to use Vegas Pro 17 (video production software)

How to create a blinking video effect in Vegas17?

Make an elliptical mask

First, import the video material in the video editing software, right-click and select "Video Event Pan/Crop", and the dialog box as shown in Figure 2 will pop up. Check "Mask", double-click on the lower track to create keyframes for the scene where you want to blink, select the "Ellipse Mask Creation Tool" on the left, and create a narrower ellipse in the picture to simulate the eyes.

As shown in Figure 3, double-click the video track below to create a new keyframe. Pull the upper and lower sides of the "Ellipse Mask" to make the ellipse larger. If you want a natural effect, you can create a few more keyframes and drag the ellipse up and down to repeatedly make it larger and smaller to simulate a blinking effect.

Finally, double-click to create a keyframe, as shown in Figure 4, and drag the ellipse to the maximum to simulate fully opening the eyes. Click the cross in the upper right corner and close the window to save.

Finally, be sure to preview the effect of blinking more often to ensure it is natural. If the blinking effect is too fast, you can drag the keyframes in "Video Event Pan/Crop" to make the distance between each keyframe farther.

Increase defocus effect

Add the defocus effect when you first open your eyes: Select "Video FX", find the "Defocus" effect on the left, click "Default", and drag it to the video material to add effects to the video. Similar effects include Gaussian blur, linear blur, etc., which can all be used.

Adjust the effect animation: right-click the video material, select "Video Event FX", and the dialog box shown in Figure 6 will appear. Click the small icon next to "Radius" to turn on the animation.

Move the frames in the track below, create a few more new keyframes, adjust the radius to become larger and smaller, and finally align the keyframes with the time of fully opening the eyes, adjust the "radius" to 0, and simulate the effect of opening the eyes. Clarity.

Figure 7 previews the final effect, successfully simulating the blinking effect and continuous defocusing with blinking, and finally focusing.
