Vegas 6 Editing Workshop book

I purchased this book thinking it would help me with my VMS 6, but this book contains many options and things not contained on my program. Is there another or different VMS 6 than the one I purchased from Circuit City for $89.99?

Sorry if I do not understand your question correctly, but this would be my answer:

There are 3 programs in the Vegas family - they are different in features and in price.

Please see a comparison here:

I have the book you're talking about; I read it quite a bit. It's for the full version of Vegas 6. I use the full version 6 now, but I used Vegas Movie Studio 6 for a couple of months and picked up some training DVDs from VASST and there's a couple more on eBay. Just put Vegas Training in the search box and look around. Try this to :

There's VMS6, VMS 6 Platinum, and Vegas 6. ( Although Version 7 is now out. )

So, is the Vegas Platinum Edition the Full Version of VMS 6? or is the Platinum Edition Vegas 7? I'm still confused. Is the standard VMS 6(a) still a good program?

The versions should be listed so:

1) VMS 6.0 b

2) VMS 7.0 a Platinum

3) Full Vegas 7.0 c

I have used this family of programs since "version" 3 - which is a period of 2 1/2 years. And YES the VMS 6.0 is a very strong, fast and extremely reliable editor with a surplus of features that you would have to buy and pay for extra and extra and extra in other video-editors.
After you get confident with VMS it also becomes clearer what the descriptions in the Vegas family comparison sheet really mean - and when time comes you can easily upgrade since all the handicraft you have learned using VMS works the same way in the other versions too.
