A short summary of some excellent training options for those new to Movie Studio (and those that need a refresher).
In the Program
- The "Show Me How" function in the program help menu will show you exactly what mouse/key strokes are needed for key functions
- The Help function in the software runs down most of the key parameters
- Keyboard shortcuts can also be accessed via the Help[ menu in the program
On the Web
Note: Many of these may be for Vegas Pro, but Movie Studio works in the same way and has most of the same functionality
- Sony Creative Software webinars
-This forum (don't forget the search function!)
- Creative COW forum
- Andrew Devis Creative Cow webinars are available via Podcast (such as iOS) or YouTube. DON'T get put off by the fact that it says "Vegas Pro" in the tutorial titles. Almost all of the functionality he talks about is embedded in Vegas Movie Studio. The tutorials are excellent. An entire index can be found Creative Cow Vegas tutorials
- NewBlueFX tutorials for your NewBlue transitions,titling and FX.
- MusicVid's
There is a vast array of resources and are very helpful. Enjoy.
Please post any other tutorials that may be of general interest.
