VT[5] Review
OK, it's not a tutorial, but it is a review of VT[5] by Bill Mills, condensed and recondensed to fit the space available in Studio Monthly magazine.

Keying Lyrics in VT[5]
How to use iVGA and LiveMatte in VT[5] to take lyrics from a presentation package like Easy Worship, Sunday Plus, or Power Point and key them over live switched video.

This is essentially the same concept covered in the VTEdit identity blur totorial, but done in SpeedEdit and expressed more concisely for Studio Monthly magazine.

Live Motion Lower Thirds

Fading the VT[4] switcher with the Contour ShuttlePro
Admittedly, this is a pretty unorthodox way to fade a switcher, but if you already have a ShuttlePro installed and configured for editing and batch capture, this little script adds a new function - twisting the shuttle ring moves the fader bar.

Using the Contour ShuttlePro with the NewTek VT
The ShuttlePro is this slick desktop jog/shuttle control with 15 extra user assignable buttons, which communicates with your computer via USB. It comes preconfigured for many video packages, but getting it to work its best with the NewTek VT[4] means properly configuring not only the ShuttlePro, but VT[4] as well.

Bringing Computer Video into VT[4] with iVGA
Whether you need to project song lyrics for a worship service IMAG, mix a Power Point presentation into a live switched recording of a lecture, or produce a DVD about how to use a computer application, there are many times when it's handy to record a computer's display.  The iVGA utility from Newtek makes it easy to feed the display of any LAN connected PC into the VT[4], without the hassle of scan rate converters and patch cables.

Blurring an Identity with VTEdit
So you've got to use the shot that has the one guy in it who's talent release the PA's dog ate.  What are you going to do?  Blurring a face, license plate, phone number or other info is an effect that editors often need.  In VTEdit you can pull of a face blur in realtime that requires just 6 steps to setup.
