"Video wall" type effect in non-adobe programs?

[Chaobunny12]

I use Vegas Platinum, which isn't really the fanciest editing software out there. I know that programs like After Effects have video wall, in which many moving images can be seen as the screen pans across it. I've tested the limits of my software, and I know it can't do that. I only have four layers, so at the most I can have 4 moving video clips if I orient them correctly with cookie cutter. Are there any external programs that can accomplish an effect similar to video wall, or that I can composite multiple video clips in outside of Vegas and then import in?

Can you export lossless? If so you could build up your wall in parts - as separate projects.

Lets say your 'wall' has four rows to it. You create a separate project for each row, were all you do is have the row's clips pan across the screen one after another. Of course you would have to time it such that no more than four videos are showing at once. Then export it.

Once you have four "rows" you create a fifth project and you import your four clips into it, resize and pan them. You now have lots of clips in (apparently) four layers.

You can actually nest one Vegas project into another Vegas project, so you don't even have to render the clips out. It'll save space.


Well, I guess you can do it in that version of Vegas. I've only actually done it with Pro.

Thanks for bumping a 6 month old topic just for that. >_>;

Didn't notice the date. Hey, it was still a thread marked unread!

I'll leave now.

Yes, I do that. You basically make as many different split screens as you need, and put them all together in one video. Then render it and do what you want with it.
