If you wanna get down to the nitty gritty of what I'm talkin bout I went to www.launch.com and found a video where they are applying the effect. Go to Kanye West Page http://music.yahoo.com/ar-304131-videos--Kanye-West and check out the vid "Gold Digger". The effect is applied 14-16 seconds in the video (It has a time reader)... I use Sony Vegas... How is that done? |
Hey bro, well I can't see the video, but I'm pretty sure what you're talking about. Its a pretty standard effect in music videos.
Well you've got 2 options you can use.
1 - If you use after effects, just layer one video over the other and apply the Strobe effect (in the stylise menu) to the top layer. Change the layer value to Transparent, this will make the top layer disappear and reappear per the settings of the effect. Just set the effect to the speed that you want and of course add some keyframes if you want the speed to be variable.
2 - If you wanna stick with Vegas, well, you<re gonna have to do it the nitty gritty way. Put both tracks one on top of the other. Zoom in to see the frames and start cutting out every other frame of the top video. That way, when you play it back, its going to switch back and forth every frame. It makes for a pretty groovy effect, I've used it a bunch of times!
Enjoy
