Sony Vegas Pro 13: Beginner's Tutorial [NEW]

This a very long video, and it's replacing the beginner's tutorial I made for Vegas Pro 11 last year. But I thought I should introduce this program with an in-depth/easy-to-follow tutorial for people who are new to using Vegas Pro software. To make this guide organized, I separated this video into different sections so that its easier for the viewers to follow along.

In this introductory video, I'll be talking about the interface of Vegas Pro 12, how to trim a video, adding transitions, adding video fx, exporting your video etc. There's nothing too advanced to learn about in this video, I just explain and go through some of the basics.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be uploading tutorials that go over some of the small and big features of Vegas Pro 12, some advanced, some simple.

If you've learned a lot just from watching this video, please help me out in return by liking, comment, and sharing this video with your friends. A like, and a comment goes a long way!

When you drop the footage into Vegas, please right click on the video and select properties. Then check "disable resample" and start rendering. It will make a huge difference in quality. You need to do this to every clip you import into Vegas. Thank me later

I am new to video editing and am learning how to do this to help my church in putting together the sermon videos to upload to the church website.  As a Noob, I found this tutorial to be very helpful and well thought-out.  Good job!!

I have a question. If you want to edit a gameplay video (in my case Counter Strike) and your game resolution is native to your screen (in my case 1366x768) is it better to record at this resolution and then render it as 720p, or is it better to change my game settings to 1280x720, record and then render at 720p?

im normally a noob at following instructions but this is probably the best thought out and explained video ive seen

[kuroryuzaki]

Very well-planned systematic tutorial, as expected from Asian :)

[DoubleDualWield]

You have a great taste in cinema, I'm seeing quite a few Tarantino films in your collection

For some reason Sony doesn't make the audio for my videos.
