Found an old thread about VSDC where I asked about this but thought I would create a separate and new thread as well, does someone know if what is shown in this YouTube clip is possible in VSDC or any other freeware software/tool?

I found it to be possible in Sony Vegas but would be happy if I didn't have to spend all those money since it's only this effect I'm interested in at the moment.

Thanks in advance!
