If you have Adobe Photoshop(any type) you can cut around a picture of fire into a wavy sharp pattern.Then go to Vegas 4 and paste on the clip.
Tip: You know this website isn't just for chatting.
Go to Home Page on how to create Muzzle Flashes.
Good Luck

I use Vegas 4...and so far i'm been looking and it says nothing on muzzle flashes.

It's simple. I figured it out. All you have to do is get one of the photo's of the flames from matthawkins, then you put them in the first layer and key out the backround and place it on the screen where you want it and wallah!

He said with Premire, but I myself am baffled to why it would not work at the correct speed after being imposted to Vegas????

Well it was just the preview window playing the clip slower than the rest of the clips that were captured with vegas, I think it might just be the DV codec that I used to export the file in premiere because after it rendered with the rest of the movie in vegas, it played fine.

Well if you want to get into codecs then talk to paul yet he is in New Jersey and away from his computer until Sunday Evening.
