very cool, this is like a window into the future (ok, like 6 days into the future, but still), looks like there is a lot of new stuff to learn comin down the pipe here. Glad we got some training coming too.
would you mind commenting on that MOST INTERESTING workspace layout?
I love the audio mixer up there, as well as a source window? to the right.
And how do you get thumbnails? Can you animate them to the actual footage contained?
Is this do-able in Vegas 7? or is it a new feature in 8?
Vic, the relocation of the preview window/timeline has *always* been doable in Vegas since version 3. In Vegas 7 it became an option in the preferences, but some folks likely remember that even on the Vegas 4 and 5 tours, we were showing reversed timeline. Thumbnails are animated, it's video in the preview window, not stills. Live playback/edting works identically in Vegas 8 as it has with previous versions of Vegas and Ultimate S/Excalibur.
taking one of your classes is like jumping into a sweet warm bubblebath.
It feels great.
You come out cleaner, leaner and smarter.
And two days later you can't remember half of the FLOOD of great stuff that you REALLY WANTED only two days before.
Nowwww.... I remember that you taught us how to do that... yeah... and save the layout you love. But how???
OK - sign me up for the new training disc package.
I'm down...
