Just wanted to let all and sundry know that I have just completed a Vegas Tutorial explaining how I created the animated chords in my First Steps 8 lessons. The link is here:

This is great. I'm such a Vegas noob.

Andrew, I commented in the lesson, but I really love that background tune you have there. Is it yours? If so, please share! Do a lesson on it or send me to where you got it. It rocks, man!

Great tutorial. I've got a question though. In the second video at 1.10 you say to check the "Mask" box. I don't have that box to check though. Do you know how I could get it?
Also is there anywhere I can download the GMC chroma key background?

Also if it helps I have Vegas Movie Studio 9.0.
Is this how instructors do the fretboard dots on famous song lessons?
I just finished watching the whole thing and it's been very useful, especially if I can get masks to work. Thanks Andrew.

Just found out you need "Vegas Platinum Pro" for that, which ll cost me £40.

Thanks, Andrew! These type of tutorials are awesome! They save a ton of trial and error by giving a real world example of the type of application that we are all using on this site. More time practicing, less time tinkering!
Awesome!
Cheers!

Thanks Jeff, already sent you the MP3 - it didn't occur to me to make a lesson out of this, but I could do that , you have me thinking

Glad you enjoyed it - this kind of technique can be generalized to all sorts of things such as the moving dot you mentioned. I'll chek with Kris if you can have the ChromaKey background - it may well be a GMC copyright or something!
