As someone who's been putzing around with Vegas for a several months and not yet done any "real work' with it (other than a couple short animations), I enjoyed the hell out of watching him put together the music video. A simple video, yes, but he did it so fast and made it look so easy. Makes me really want to cut my teeth on a real project. Hm... my brother-in-law is in a band -- I should see if he'll let me use that as a guinea pig.

Anyhow, thanks for posting that! I have got to get me to one of these conventions. It was especially cool to see Vegas being demonstrated at an "other-industry" convention.

cool demonstration, but I wish that somebody would have adjusted the audio. i can barely hear the instructor speak, and if I turn up the volume the music is blaring.

" wish that somebody would have adjusted the audio."

Yes, what a horrible taping, even worse is they encoded to REAL so there is no ability to "Save target as". On a slow connection like mine it's impossible to stream video but saving the file to disk solves that unless of course it's REAL so I got without exaggeration 2 fpm. Worthless to anyone not already familiar with Vegas + DVD.

Sony should post something like this done correctly.

I don't want to install Real Player on my PC. Am I missing anything here??

There is some web content that is only available with Real. There are complaints that Real will make itself the default player. I think you just need to make sure during the install that Real is not the default player. I have it and have not had any problems. Windows media player is still my default player.

Thanks!
Definitely worth the install. I just didn't use Real as a default for anything, as you mentioned.

There's also (a) background process(es) {forgot the name} to turn off and several "phone home" functions and an auto update to disable in preferences.
