I know these are a couple of years old but "Thank You" for these ongoing Vegas instructions. VERY HELPFUL.

Finally a motion tracking in vegas :D Guess I am moving from 10 and 13 to 18 if all my plugins will work, if not gonna use it just for motion tracking The reason I am still using 10 is because thats the only version where all my plugins work correctly without any crashing on render when I use bunch of effects and layers combined (MBL, LUT, sapphire, BCC, RSMB, Ignit) 13 loads stuff much better than 10 but crashes on some specific effect combinations which I use for glitch effects Tried 15 and 17 but couldnt get all my plugins to work so yeah, back to older versions. Almost everything on my channel was made with Vegas 10, only problem was really long loading time if I had compressed high fps .mp4 clips (300-600 FPS)

[@aureliaaelitapaige]

As someone who relies on that feature a lot, I sadly have had to stick with 17 even though 18 has a bunch of other features that would theoretically increase my work flow.

Thats really impressive for vegas, good to see that they have good motion tracking now. Have always missed that

It's obvious I was using the old Vegas 17 Track Motion feature WAY incorrectly. I literally only used it to manually move an image from one spot to another - which I *think* can achieve better with the pan/crop feature now. Thanks for the clarity, friend! Def subbed and you're deb helpful.

[@raykrislianggi]

Thanks! I just tried this myself for my new video and his tutorial is really helpful. One issue about VP 18 I've found so far is that Fabfilter plugin doesn't work, the plugin window would just freeze. I don't know about other 3rd party plugins, but in the meantime, I'd have to do most of the work on previous versions of VEGAS.

[@Traincraft101]

the tracking works, but when I apply the PiP, the image doesn't line up with the tracked box...

[@baihu4u]

Excellent tutorial. Really nice new motion tracking implementation. Now if only Magix would integrate a dope auto rotoscoping tool similar to what Adobe does, Vegas Pro with it's quick efficient workflow would definitely be the NLE value blockbuster!

[@dipsey8411]

[@studioregianefreitas]

Muito bom!!!! Parabéns!!!

[@Rcschim]

About your intro (awesome) is it inspired by Borderlands (videogame?) Text and also colors remind me of that ;) Great work also, love how simple vegas still is - and now powerful as well. Does 18 crash less often than 16 and 17? did you measure performance of rendering? maybe faster? thanks!

[@ScrapyardFilms]

Thanks! The intro was actually just though up by messing around inside VEGAS Effects. I do love Borderlands though! 18 crashes less than 17 for me. The crashes were very little to begin with though so it's pretty rare I get a crash. 18 definitely is a bit faster than 17 while editing due to the new way the implement hardware encoding and decoding. They also changed around the way V18 cashes data a little bit so loading plugins is a bit faster along with taking screen shots. Rendering seems to be about the same performance as 17.

[@britanimations2002]

Okay I need a ton of help because my masks just don't track, at all. I've tried simplifying things, I've followed your tutorial to the letter, but the masks I make just don't move how they should, they go all over the place

[@DamonFoster]

I'm trying to make the transition from Adobe After Effects, to Vegas. In Vegas Pro, how can we move & animate the vertexes and key frames? So that they follow a complex moving object. After Effects could do this 17 years ago. By now, doesn't Vegas have that feature?

[@KevsGuide]

thanks do you have more examples of this?

[@litmilky]

would you be able to track two things? Like say, you had the photo tracked to the phone and on top of that, the text too, just curious

[@AD03]

Is there a way to apply the tracked keyframes also to Pan/Crop section?

[@thisproblem7476]

Nice Video. I'm currently using Movie Studio Plat 12. I can upgrade to Vegas Pro 18 for £300. Would it be worth it?

[@ScrapyardFilms]

If you're willing to wait until the end of November, You can probably save some money and buy it on their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.

@@ScrapyardFilms I didn't mention that it was the suite version for £300 that I could get. Is it worth getting? It comes with extras too. Thanks in advance.

Finally tracking was addressed, was one of the worst of any NLE app

It definitely was bad and now it's better. Not the best by any means, but better.

[@JavonDevv9000]

Now how do i sync the pan and position to the pan and crop plugin?

[@MEAREMLG]

can you attach a crop/zoom to a motion tracker so that the video zooms and follows a target?

[@ScrapyardFilms]

Not sure. I'm currently looking in to this but if it can't be done, it most likely can be done inside VEGAS Effects.

[@FIXDIY]

Verry will

[@patrpatl]

I know how to motion track in Vegas pro 18. But the prob is my motion tracks were shaky .

[@remanentcrab3676]

Any fix if the grey lined box does not pop up after clicking add region? Using vegas pro 18 btw

[@martintastic]

I cant find anything new about vegas in 2022. I bought my vegas through steam 2022 and they have not realisead an update since 2021. Can I find some updates somewhere if there is some? Because mine is lagging as hell and its making me losing my mind I have a clip in my head that I want to edit and this video was exact the way i needed help for so thanks for that!

[@athermedia91]

Hi , im having trouble, i made some text on my video, renders fine in 4k but when I render to 1080p the text moves to another location on the video. and not where the track is located .. any ideas why ?

[@ScrapyardFilms]

Possibly a glitch in the scaling of the video from the sounds of it. It seems like it's accurate in the resolution you tracked it in but when you re-scale the resolution, the track stays in the "other" resolution's position. I'd say if it doesn't work correctly, renter in 4k and then compress the video to 1080p using Handbrake (I have a tutorial on this). If you don't wanna do that, you may have to re-track in the resolution you're going to render in.

[@athermedia91]

@@ScrapyardFilms i have handbrake. Didnt think of that. I also noticed when i renderd it to 1080p for instagram theres now a bar at the bottom.of the instagram video which just shows pixilated grass off the video. Cheers for the tutorial though it worked well

[@athermedia91]

I managed to fix the video on instagram. Do you have any videos on renderinf drone footage. I film at h.265 100mbps at 30fps so was wondering what bit rates best for 4k and 1080 renders off my mavic 2 zoom.

[@chaoticneutral249]

can anything be done if something gets in the way? like, if the character is tapping something on the phone, and his finger gets in the way, for example.

[@borisperrenoud3185]

Vegas Pro, initially an audio program is the best program for video and audio synchronization.! Why not updating this old multicam workflow, which is so inconvenient for adding camera angles or for updating the sync. in the multicamera track?

[@jaystaton4526]

Hi. I just hit something on my screen and now my timeline added a video track and my preview window shows 2 video clips side-by-side while not playing a track. When playing, the window only has 1 video showing. Between the tracks is an "X". How do I get rid of this mode?

[@jheberge9957]

Hi thank you very much for your videos !! Even if you have a good speech rate, it's easy to understand for a french and that's really great !!

Is someone knowing something about this ?? I'm really sorry for my bad English, all my apologizes for people who have read my comment !

[@EvilToaster_]

Is there yet a way (or already a way) to use this to apply the motion tracking to a crop/pan zoom? If I want to motion track a subject and crop the video to zoom in on that subject and track it without having to meticulously keyframe the pan track, would this help at all? Good guide tho

[@ScrapyardFilms]

I want to say this is possible but can't think of any methods at the moment. Would you be able to link a video explaining what exactly you're end goal is?

[@EvilToaster_]

​@@ScrapyardFilms Uhh here's a guide of how it's done in adobe kzbin.info/www/bejne/apvSlZWhlql7gtU If I could just use the location mode of the motion tracking in vegas and somehow apply that as the center for the pan/crop tool I can make it work but, idk how that would be possible

[@ScrapyardFilms]

Hmm. I haven't tried that type of motion tracking but can definitely put it on the list. If it can't be done in VEGAS Pro, it most likely can be done in VEGAS Effects.

[@EvilToaster_]

@@ScrapyardFilms If this can be done well in Vegas effects it might be enough to sell me on it. Ideally though it just, would be part of the motion tracking currently in vegas pro tho. Maybe I can find an answer if I fiddle with it.
