Matrix style Bullet-time effect in Vegas Video
In this tutorial, Satish Kumar demonstrates the famous Matrix style Bullet-time effect in Vegas Video: A man leaps in the air with a gun, fires a shot, and then hovers in the air while the camera moves around him 180 degrees. To create this effect, we have the shot of the man leaping in the air as a video and 6 still shots of him in the air at different angles. We will morph between the still shots using the WinMorph plug-in for Vegas. This morphed video is composited with a moving background giving the 180 degree camera rotation effect.

Compositing Images in a Bubble in Vegas Video
The primary aim of this tutorial will be to create a composite image of a bubble with moving/still images inside. The secondary objective is to demonstrate to the user the convergence of 3D modeling with compositing and non linear editing applications. James Green will demonstrate that this is a very basic but useful composite that is designed to provoke creative thought towards potential applications.
