How to create an epic like movie trailer using Sony Vegas Pro the easy way

Do you have videos or pictures with your friends during your weekend of adventure? Would you like to create your own epic like movie trailer the easiest way ever? Checkout this video that I've recently created using Sony Vegas template by Deviletico. It's an epic like movie trailer template that suited for Sony Vegas video editor. It's absolutely easy and you can do it too. All you have to do is to change the original images in the template and replace it with your own videos or pictures, and also write your own text. Absolutely a no brainer thing. You can do it like I did.

Here's the video that I've edited using an epic like movie trailer template: If you have any comments or questions please feel free to ask.


What you need:

1. Sony Vegas Pro video editor
2. Epic movie trailer template - Download it here

Steps on how to start editing the template:

1. After you've downloaded the epic like sony vegas template. Extract the contents and copy the font file first and paste it on c:\windows\fonts

 

2. Next open the sony vegas project file.

 

3. Once you've loaded or opened up the project file, you can start replacing text and images. Here's how to replace the text first. Make sure that you change the font style to Bankgothic DB so that it would look cool.

Here's how to change the images with your own images or videos:

The way I change it is that I create a new layer above the image template so that I could match the exact length in the timeline.Checkout the screen shot below.

After you've created a new layer and placed your own videos or images, you may now delete the original image below it. You can do this technique on the rest of the images that you wish to replace.

You've noticed on my video that I've added a little lens flare effect which you'll not find in the template. What I did is that I'd created a new layer and placed a black background image then add a lens flare effect.

Here's how to add the lens flare effect on Sony Vegas in your black background:

1. Click the EVENT FX in the image.

2. Next double click on Lens Flare effect and click ok button.

3. On the Lens Flare properties, create a new keyframe as starting point then position the lens as where you want it to start. Once you've finish setting up your first keyframe, create a second keyframe at the end of the timeline of your image then change the position and other settings that you want to animate. Just play around with it to see the results.

Once you're satisfied with all of the settings, try to preview and see how it looks like.

If you're able to finish the project please feel free to provide a link on the comment section and let me praise your work.
