    Well, the effect looks cool. But I don’t wanna cut my whole movie in after effects.
    Is there a way to create the same transition directly in Sony Vegas?

  2. Let me ask you a question: When they do a moview with a lot of effects, do you think they do all of that in the final video editor? Of course not. They do the one shot in their effect package, and then edit it into their overall film in the video editor. So unless you’re doing this effect for every transition, you prbably want to do it just that way.

    How do you add 16mm film flash look?

  4. Agreed. I work in Adobe Premier for the editing of the cut and move to AAE for special effects and then import back in.
