Sony Vegas Pro 8.0

[Heskey]

Hey Folks,

Got some ideas for a new music video and now I've got the hang of WMM, I'm wanting to use Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 to get videos of quality, like the Op. Archer Convoy.

Unfortunately, however - I haven't got a clue how to the use the damned thing despite the interactive tutorials, and could use someone with a little know how to guide me on some things and answer some questions I have.

Please lemme know if you can help!

You can also try to get your hands on Premiere Pro. I never worked with Vegas but Premiere Pro is really easy to use for the basic movies with nice some nice (standard) effects in 'm. Good to start off with imho.

I did a quick search for you on Vegas tutorials. You might have found them yourself but I thought I'd post 'm here anyway.

I learned the basics of After Effects by following tutorials so they do work :)
