when i add the particular effecet, i go to Emitter and change it to Lights and it pops up a box saying:

In this mode lights are used as particle emitters.

Only lights whose names start with "lights are used.

Create a light with Layer> New>Light.

To change the name "Light open Trapcode Particular's Options box.

@petenicezz What you need to change is in the PARTCILE setting. Instead of using the default particle or any of the pre-sets, checkmark the CUSTOM particle. Then you assign the particle to your video layer (e.g. the birds in my example). So every individual particle (according to what you set your EMITTER to do) is a single bird.

I don't think you can use the trapcode plugins in sony vegas, but I could be mistaken. They work flawlessly in adobe software (adobe after effects, adobe photoship, illustrator etc...

I am working on a couple tutorials so subscribe if you'd like to be notified when they post.

The bird was made using a .gif I found online. It was only a 14 frame gif so I neeed to adjust it and then cycle it to create a ceaseless flap cycle. (stabilizied the footage, color keyed it, cycled it for a 30 second timelines, saved it out as an alpha channel clip). Then once I had that cycle realized, I started programming the particle generator and layer mapped the bird.

Where's the movie?

They are moving way to fast for how fast their wings are flapping.

[VyTe86]

where do you got the birds?

[Icemangqx]

I guess people are easily amused but I see flaws. OK a suggestion, I know these are eagles but you should try to make the flights a little more natural. Have you ever seen a busy body of birds flying? Use nature for research if you want to really sell your audience. Also there is a thing as too much, it got to the point where I didn't feel as they were real but more of a cut and paste job that blobbed up in spots and wasn't pretty to the eye anymore. Good job but I know you can do better.
