To anyone that has seen "Anxiety"

I have a question. I have figured out how to do the comic book effect, but I do not know how to make the camera move over the top of it. Can anyone help me with this?

One way to do it is by moving the clips all at once, rather than moving the camera. Basically, you create the illusion of a moving camera by moving the viewed.

Hmmm..... Not sure I know how to do that. I'm using Vegas 6, if you could help me figure that out I would appreciate it.

All I can say is that you should start masking. I've never even touched Vegas at all.

I find that panning the camera across a composition makes more sense, and is often easier to do. Just create a track that is larger than the output, compose your shot, and then move the camera.

Any decent compositing system should be able to do that.

Check the Help menu under Panning and Cropping. Also read about Keyframes if you don't know about those yet. This is basic stuff that you need to become comfortable with.

To pan a single event, right click on the clip and select Video Event Pan/Crop. To pan over an entire track, look at the left side of the track. Hover over the symbols there until you find the one that says Track Motion. Click that. You'll see a control window that is similar, but with some subtle differences.

Thanks for the help guys... I'll look into all of that and see what I can come up with.
