Help With Effects

I'm sure most of you have seen the new Tosan movie. (http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=37602) My question is, how do I get the words to flash like in the very beginning when it says "Tosan 3 Mutilicious" and there's kind of like beams of light coming out that move around (I'm running on Vegas, I'm assuming he is too), also, how do I get an earthquake effect that kind of rumbles the screen and shakes it? Any help would be nice. Thanks

The light beaming effect is called "Light Rays". The shaking around is pan/crop movement. (many, many keyframes)

Good luck

Moving effects

I know these effects but I don't know how to let effects move. In Niar's movies you always see the sun effect ( Aka lens flare ) turning around.
In in almost every movie u see the beams ( Aka light rays ) moving behind the text. Also, I don't know how to fade effects in. The "crit effect" ( the effect with the lightrays when someone makes a crit, used a lot in rogue movies. )
Always starts with little light rays and end with little, but in the middle there are a lot of lightrays.

Supposed to be: Some text, low light rays coming from left moving to the right while getting stronger, at the end it should lower again.

What I have: Some text. and then boom, lightrays, in the middle of the text ( I know how to adjust this, just can't let it move around in the movie ) and boom they are gone again.

Can someone teach me how to move effects? I looked at the great guides posted by godliest by I couldn't find it.

Actually Tosan, I do believe that he may have used After Effects for it as it's much easier to make that shaking. But as u use Sony Vegas, it won't help u.

nf67. To move the Light Rays u use the same technic as when using Pan/crop event. So the way to do it is add the effect.

1. Go to the start of the clip and click up "Video Event FX". Set the light rays to start where u want them to start.

2. Go to the middle of the clip where u want the Light Rays to be the strongest. Click "Video Event FX" and set the light rays to how strong u want them to be. The Light Rays will still be at the start, but we wait with moving them to make it easier.

3. Go to the end of the clip, or where u want the Light Rays to get to the end. Click "Video Event FX" and set the Light Rays to where u want them to be. Choose how strong u want the Light Rays to be too.

Now when watching the clip the light rays should move as u intended them. If they didn't do it over again. It's the exactly same technic as when working with pan/crop event. The same technic works with all such effects; if u stand in the middle of a clip and choose the effect to change; it will slowly change from the start to how u want it to be.

It's easy as pie once u've mastered it. Hope this will help u.

.

By "he may have used After Effects" are you referring to me? This sentence is a little confusing.
