Welcome. Vegas is a wonderful NLE--you'll love it.

Load an avi clip onto the timeline. Click anywhere on that timeline. If you then hit the right-arrow button, the scrubber will advance one pixel's worth. Depending on how much of a time interval your screen is showing, that could be one frame or dozens. Zoom in to the timeline by hitting the up-arrow key. Eventually you will reach the point where each right-arrow click will advance just one frame.

There are lots of other ways of doing the same thing in Vegas; alt-right arrow will do just one frame too.

To do a cut, just select the location with the scrubber line, and then hit "s".

Sweet, thanks abunch. Those were the only "real" things that I was getting peeved about. Now for the fun to begin...

Alt+left/right arrow always moves the cursor back/forward by a single frame no matter how much you are zoomed.

When you split ("S") to cut and you have many tracks with media, you may want to select only the event(s) that you want to split without affecting others. Click to select an event, Shift+click to add more events to the selections.

You can also map the arrow keys to scroll only one frame forward or backward. Go to Options>Preferences, click on Keyboard, go to TrackView. Assign the right arrow (or any other key for that matter) to CursorTo.RightbyFrame. Do the same for the left side.
