you have to get rid of the animation bars in the modelviewer. then if you want a non-green effect do the chroma keyer but be sure to have a background in vegas before you do it.

note: there is no keyer in movie maker.

When I first starting using Sony Vegas, I was far too lazy to just read the friggin manual. I found a website that gives you tutorials on a lot of software like Vegas. Go to www.vtc.com and look in the "find tutorial" box and type Sony Vegas. It gives flash player tutorials. When you capture the animations and use WMM to convert to a more readable format for the old Vegas versions (what I do), when you choose your animation, get rid of the box that allows you to change the look of your character. It will give you a full screen look in the video. Then you want to slow the animation down about .5. It will make a bigger file, but give you more frames to work with. After you finish your vid, make sure you choose a format from the rendering menu that comes up if you're using vegas. I personally use Divx (1 Logical Processor) format, and lower the resolution. Good rule of thumb, in my opinion, is the same resolution as your desktop for slower computers. If you have a computer like mine, go with around 800x600. My desktop resolution is 1280x800, but my specs suck. Finally, ensure that ALL unneeded background tasks are turned off if they slow your computer down. Other than that information, play around with the rendering settings if you use vegas to render. If you're using WMM, I really haven't had too much trouble out of it when rendering small videos, but pretty much the same thing. I used Vegas 7 and played around a bit to create this crappy video as a test to see if my computer could handle the process of making and uploading it.
