WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 6
Using video bus tracks
This feature is available only in the full version of Vegas software.
From the View menu, choose Video Bus Track to toggle the display of the video bus track at the bottom of the
track view. A single bus track exists as a timeline representation of the main video output.
You can use bus tracks to animate video output effects using keyframes, add motion blur envelopes, or video
supersampling envelopes.
Adding keyframes to the video bus track
Adding keyframes to the video bus track is just like working with any other video track. Use video bus track
keyframes to animate video output effects. For information on adding keyframes, see Using keyframe animation
on page 273.
Adding envelopes to the video bus track
You can add fade-to-color, motion blur amount, and video supersampling envelopes to the video bus track to
affect your video output. For more information, see Working with track envelopes on page 163.
Adding effects to video bus tracks
Click the Video Output FX button ( ) in the bus track header to add or edit video output effects. If there are
no video output effects, clicking this button displays the Plug-In Chooser. If you've already set up video
output effects, clicking the button displays the Video Output FX window.
Muting the video output
Click the Mute button ( ) in the bus track header to mute all video output.
Bypassing video effects and envelopes
Click the Bypass FX and Envelopes button ( ) in the bus track header to bypass all video output effects and
bus track envelopes.
Resizing video bus tracks
You can drag the horizontal splitter between the track list and bus tracks to increase or decrease the space
allocated to bus tracks. Perform any of the following actions to resize individual bus tracks:
• Drag a bus track's bottom border to set its height.
•Click Minimize ( ) to minimize a track vertically.
•Click Maximize ( ) to zoom in vertically so a bus track fills the lower portion of the timeline.
• After minimizing or maximizing a bus track, click either the Minimize or Maximize button again to restore a
bus track to its previous height.
• Press + + / when the bus track area has focus to resize all bus tracks at once.
