Changes: Visuals

Revision as of 07:16, 27 January 2020

A visual is a component in sparta remixes. They were introduced in 2007. At that time, only random GIFs of Leonidas's head appeared through the remix.

Box visuals (or box-shaped visuals) got debuted in late 2009. As seen in many remixes, it's the visual of the sample (pitch sample or percussion). When the sample plays more than once, the visuals will only flip horizontally (not until 2012) or rarely vertically. However in 2013 or older remixes, the visuals changed the direction along with the flip.

How to do Box Visuals

What is not Recommended for beginners: Make the visuals arrangement using Track Motion in Vegas Pro. This method isn't recommended for beginners because there is no snapping tool to fit into a grid properly.
- If done with proper calculation in the Width/Height tool, it is possible to properly fit visuals in a grid using just Track Motion.

What is recommended for beginners: Use the pan crop features (to see it just click the crop-like icon on the track you want to edit) in the video part and you can do the box visuals. This method is recommended for beginners because it can fit visuals in precisely with snapping tool enabled.

History
