Hello,
New to this forum and Vegas Video. Looks like I will be re-training my mind to use the layout of Vegas. Currently using Rexedit and MediaStudio Pro. I am wondering if there are any videotapes/cd/web sites/etc.. out there that have decent tutorials for this program?
Thanks for your help
MaryKay

If anyone knows of others, please chime in. I'd be interested in what else is out there.

Thanks for all the replies. I was hoping someone has produced a video tutorial similar to the ones offered by Adobe Premier and MSP programs (Total Training Series) Sonic Foundry are you listening??? ;-) I welcome all advise on how to learn this interface in a quick and efficient way!!

Have you tried the excellent hands-pn tutorial that comes with Vegas? It is a interactive step by step to get you up and running that is including with the full manual that's on the Sonic Web site as a PDF file for the full manual which runs over 350 pages.

there is a tutorial cd-rom
one that came with vv2--which i bought in september
also, there is an advanced tutorial cd-rom
i think i paid $25 for it
just call sonic foundry and ask about it
both tutorials helped me a lot
good luck

Sb:
Thank you I will do that. I wasn't aware they had some on cd-rom. I had downloaded the ones "Sample projects" to use with the one in the pdf manual.

I just finished the "A hands-on guide to creating rich multimedia with Vegas Video" tutorial that Sonic is now offering for $50. I highly recommend it. http://www.sonicfoundry.com/products/NewShowProduct.asp?PID=684

Will you please talk a little more about this Curriculum book, and what you found useful? I was considering buying the printed manual, but this may be better geared to my needs. I have a solid familiarity with Vegas, and I'm looking to increase my understanding of masking and compositing techniques.

Thank you all. I have gone through the tutorial included with the Manual and this has helped. I am feeling more sure of myself now :-). I've found this program is quite similar to Media Studio(never used Adobe, tried and did not like it) but they have different terms for the processes. I think that was what confused me initially. I just ordered that hands on book from SonicFoundry as well. Happy editing everyone!! I would be willing to bet there is a market for a step by step video of how to use this program in beginners and advanced iterations? SF are you listening? :-)

Luxo,

I'm new to Vegas Video and my previous NLE experience was with Pinnacle's Studio 7. With that background, I found the SonicFoundry "A hands-on guide to creating rich multimedia with Vegas Video" tutorial very informitive. However, if you are someone who is already familiar with Vegas Video and is looking for a more in-depth curriculum, then you will probably be disappointed with this guide.
