......its like you have to do it perfect on the first shot........


you may have noticed that vegas is trying to kill me again and vegas isnt that bad in it ^^'

well you can Ctrl + Z x as many times as you want (lol) but no seriously. You can right click any point of the mask and click delete (all selected) it'll remove everything so you can re-do it.
Well you need to be careful and see what tool you're using. the pen tool will only be able to add an anchor point and/or make curves to an already existing point, while as soon as you click on the move tool you will see that there is a box formed around the mask, you can move the mask by moving the big box surrounding it. If you click outside the box it'll disappear, and you'll be able to move 1 specific anchor point of the mask by clicking on its location after the box is gone.

You can swap anytime between the tools by holding ctrl,if you right click --> reset mask,its going to delete all anchrors on the anchor you're working on

well ctrl + z is only working once -.-
but how to delete everything is obivious (already did it without wanting it xD) and yes ive tryed as you said to select one anchor an everything but when i cklicked on it the entire thing moved and then i could move the anchor points

thank you guys, ill try it later again ;)

if simply pressing CTRL + Z is only working once for you, you can click on the curved arrow pointing backwards in the toolbar on top. Once you do that you'll be having a drop menu of every step you made during your entire working session. You can scroll down till the stage that you want and click on it, it'll get rid of everything.

In the pan/crop window, ctrl+z works only once for me as well, BUT you can click on the original Vegas window and ctrl+z, it will work by undoing the last thing you changed in pan/crop ;)

that sounds good for me^^
thank you very much pampouks

even though it's a fact for me as well, i can't recklessly do it so i check every time i ctrl+z if it undid the right thing, you should be checking that too :)

smooth? if by that you mean just better overall

then just zoom in closer and use more dots ;3 well that's what I do, most people use curves but I'm too much of a hipster for that.

i knew someone would say that :P well when i tried to zoom in it somehow got recked and stuff and every dot is now moved to right and it is so frustrating because ctrl + z didnt work q.q

(notice: i havent tried anything new out yet)

I know i'll regret this. but try going to feather > Both, and add maybe 1% or 0.7% or just experiment with feather in general

what is this feather in general? well that scene is already destroyed so it doesnt matter gab xD

I meant "feather" in general Lol. Its a feature you find on the left side of the pan/crop screen while you're masking

hi ive been playing with your tips and well their isnt much of a difference :/

but for now i want to focus on the smoothness, yes i could zoom in n stuff but then i need to move my field of watching so i click on the the tool for it.
when i but then a new dot in it doesnt connect with the older line :/

1. you can temporarily switch to the zoom tool by pressing ctrl+mouse-wheel

2. if you decide to change the tool by clicking on it then before you go back to the mask tool you gotta select the last anchor point while on zoom-tool

ahh ok i get it now! i noticed that the selection makes the difference in general hete xD
thx xD
