I just saw this video: https://vimeo.com/199043093 , and I'm leaning towards buying sony vegas pro 14 because of it. Before I make the purchase, can PD15 do that type of masking or something similar? That masking type starts at around 27 seconds.

Hi Trekz -

Dramatic editing!

I've never used Vegas, so I have no idea how easily those effects would be achieved. It looks like various combinations of overlaid screenshots , edited in graphics software, have been used. That's only a guesstimation.

You could do similar things in PDR15, but not without some careful work. I suspect hodges usry did a lot of that too! Take a look at https://vimeo.com/143953952 - it's not all about the software!

Thanks. I rather save and stick with pd if it can still do the job.
