You make black and white screens by using the Media Generator tab and selecting solid colors. I haven't been able to find any "window breaking" transition, but it's best to avoid since it's kinda... meh.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how I can make the picture in picture (with the alternate footage) window move from one side to another during a scene?

Anybody?

For the next tutorial section I would also like to learn about envolopes. What are they? What/Why/How should I use them and use them for?

Markers too.

You guys really need an edit button here.

It's ironic a website about editing has no edit button.

I think you would use the Video Pan/Crop FX. Although I'm not too sure.

strobe......light?

explain, please?

I don't think I've ever come across anything 'strobe light' at all in vegas, but I really don't know exactly what you mean by 'strobe light' in the first place. o.O

you manually put in media generators each time you want the "light" to flash

there is no "drop in strobe effect" as far as i know

strobe light is when theres a countiuise white flash its mostly used to sync with the drum beats of your song
