V5 Training DVD's & classes..How many are out there???

I already have the V4 Editing Workshop DVD (Class on Demand) and the Purple book - this was a life saver for me cause I'm learning as I go. Today I received my new VASST Vegas 5 DVD (watched most of it already.) Very helpful with some of the new features. But I heard that there's going to be another training DVD coming out this summer.

Since I'm learning everything as I go / trial & error / no in class schooling-would love to but to busy cause people have me doing media projects & they think I know the stuff / don't know where to take the right classes....and so on; what all is out there and or what is coming up?

(All of the Audio is still Greek to me. And keep in mind that I'm a "show me" type of learner.)

Thanks.

We've got 2 new Vegas Training DVDs due out this summer, plus the Instant Vegas VASST book co-authored by myself and Jeffrey P. Fisher, plus the new version of Vegas Editing Workshop, due out very soon.
Regarding classes, there are the VASST classes, plus the classes at College of DuPage in Chicago. The VASST tour is still heading to:
Honolulu
NYC
Atlanta
Dallas
Seattle
Phoenix
Toronto
Orlando
Singapore
Malaysia
HongKong
Sydney
Melbourne

There is also the FREE Sony Software Media Showcase in most of those cities, led by Gary Kleiner and myself.
We'll also have the Advanced Vegas tour in September, which focuses VERY heavily on audio and compositing. This will launch in Honolulu in July with an August haitus while we're in Asia and Australia.

Chrissy,

Preorders are now being taken for my two new DVDs, The Vegas 5 Companion, and DVD Authoring with DVD Architect 2.0 (discounts apply 'til they ship in July).

Thanks Spot,
I'll be at the Seattle Free Sony Software Media Showcase. I'm really looking forward to it. By the way, my 14 year old nephew "job shadowed" me last week cause he wants to be a "noise maker" for Disney one day and loves helping me out with my projects.

Is he too young to go to the Media Showcase night?

Thanks Gary,
I bought your Excalibur a couple of months ago and LOVE it! That has saved me SOO much time with projects.

Now is a good time for those thinking of their summer vacation plans to consider joining the Honolulu VASST classes. It would be a great opportunity to see beautiful Hawaii and learn ADVANCED Vegas and Power Production Techniques. Also (pending) will be a FREE Vegas Basics event night prior to the Advanced Vegas event.

We look forward to seeing you join the VASST training in paradise.

Of course your nephew may come! I'll look forward to meeting you there.
Wolf, I won't be making it up to Brisbane, the Sony distributor tried to work a VASST out for up there, but they felt they simply didn't have the user base. So, Sydney and Melbourne are it for this trip....darn!

Spot,

Um, classes at COD? Any details?

We are no longer affiliated with COD in any way. Sorry.
The live training is only happening via VASST in the cities listed earlier in this thread. VASST also offers one-on-one training in most major cities, or you can fly to our Utah facility to train there.

Sorry to hear about the COD affiliation. I live in the western burbs of Chicago and it would have been easy enough to make it there.Can't make the VASSt training in chicago that's coming up - I'm unfortunately out of town!!

Thanks!

Don't feel bad. You missed Chicago by two weeks. NYC, Atlanta, Orlando, Toronto, Seattle, Dallas, PHX are all next on the list. chicago was a couple weeks past.
We'll be coming through again in the fall with a different Vegas tour.
