It is sad. Nobody bothers to write tutorials anymore these days. Even books about current Vegas versions are no longer available. People just want to save, save, save. Best quality for zero dollars.

I know the old Interactive Tutorials in Vegas were impossible to maintain and had to be dropped, but they were a godsend to motivated learners.

@Jeffrey-Burton Hi & hmm i think that is a hard one to do, the online vids are like you say instructional, but they're showing you how to use the tools to be creative, there's so many ways to make a video/film that to put it into a tutorial would be almost impossible, that's why the producers, directors & editors of shows & films are praised the way they are for their creativity, imagination & the use of the tools at hand.

You want the best FREE Creative tutorials? Turn on tellie, mute the Audio and watch ANY advert. Take notes and snap stuff on your phone. Do this with any film too. Oh yeah, go walkabout with a camera and study Nature. Next, visit an Art gallery and study framing, composition and colour grading.

Once you’ve done that then come back here and ask questions, questions, questions.

Inspiration fires the mind to do something. Tools are dumb things. Making narratives is what we do with Film/Video. VegasPro doesn’t - it has a clue.

Start small and build your skill set.

You've started a great thread!

There are tutorials out there that supply the material needed to reproduce the finished product. But if you have footage, you can test the techniques yourself. @Grazie said something important about actually getting out and filming. @Former user too with "that's why the producers, directors & editors of shows & films are praised the way they are for their creativity, imagination & the use of the tools at hand."

@snibchi1 people today are visually oriented in instructions. The days of reading a 1000+ page manual are gone.

One thing I have noticed in reading the forum, that people create videos in many different ways. For "me", I'll have a piece of music in mind and visualize the video for it. Other times, I'll have the videos and thing of the music for it and what I want to show. But that's "me", and others work differently to achieve their desired goals.

There is also Tech Dive AVCLUB

 After making my simple YT vids for quite a while now & playing with the multitude of effects i have at hand, I think i'm beginning to understand the appreciation producers etc have for the old movies, pre Starwars - pre special effects, a lot of their creativity came from the on-set camera positioning, the aspect, the timing & then the way the clips were edited & put together, In Vegas these are the basic editing tools so beyond showing the essentials of how to, teaching someone in a tutorial how to be creative with these basics of filming & editing is an impossible thing, It's all in the eye of the creator. as @Grazie says use others shows on TV etc for inspiration,

PS I'm a joiner, i have all the tools available but i'm not very creative, my clients send me a pic or a scribble on a piece of paper & say 'I want that', there's a basis to my work but I then have to go online etc, & find the inspiration from others creations, cherry pick the desirable bits & put it all together as one, It's well known that film producers have subtly plagiarised or at the least have gotten inspiration from others work in their own films

Blackmagic, the producers of the NLE Davinci Resolve supply very extensive video training videos and PDF's complete with the downloadable project files:

In theory wouldn't it be great if Magix did the same thing?

In practice it would be OK up to a point. But once you've picked up the very basics of any NLE by one means or another it can be far easier and quicker to be able to simply find any number of independent Youtube videos which can describe specific queries and issues. These may include suggestions workarounds tips etc that you might never have thought of yourself. Don't beat yourself up about not finding project files for Vegas, it doesn't matter.
