I wish there'll be more on vegas pro 9 tutorials from you. Since I am working on an outdated laptop with windows 7 OS I am very limited to using vegas pro 9. Thanks for this one.

Thanks so much for your tutorials. I'm just beginning to learn to use editing software so your clear explanations helped me understand terminology and how to get started.
Thanks again.

Really, you are the best teacher to this software ever... go on!!

You are the bomb!!! I appreciate you breaking everything down for those of us that are true newbies to this stuff! I keep hearing the word "rendering" and feeling kinda stupid. I love how you put it so that we could get the picture of what you really mean. Since YT editor keeps failing me on Wednesdays, I'm faced with learning something else so that my show can be seen. I'm still stuck on trying to "cut" the ending of a clip but, I will keep trying! Thanks again!

Well, it took me a while to get, looking up stuff and tutorials. It takes practice, patience and timing. I would just keep looking up resources on Google or Youtube. It helps. I just had to practice a lot.

@atascanlan "Codec" is a technical name for "compression/decompression". It also stands for "compressor/decompressor" and "code/decode". All of these variations mean the same thing: a codec is a computer program that both shrinks large movie files, and makes them playable on your computer. Codec programs are required for your media player to play your downloaded music and movies.

It's good to start out with for sure. I used to use it before and it suited my needs for a time.

1. Splitting is the way to use a certain clip or you can drag the clip to a certain point to shorten the scene
2. There is a text generator in your media generators tab

@Legitchaosteam Good question. You would basically be in front of the green screen and record in different positions such as one right, middle and left, then you can crop out what you can to make it look like there is 3 of you.

thanks bro, your video is one of the best examples ive seen

[demnrat]

thanks a lot for this guide :D I found it really helpful since I am using just the trial because I cannot afford to use the full version and refuse to torrent it, also I have a school assignment due tomorrow and windows live movie maker doesn't want to work and this 11 minute video really helped a lot. thanks again.

No problem. Make sure you go into options, then preferences and set the defaults. The preview should appear after restarting the program.

@xCalamityo Older versions of Vegas doesn't usually have an upload to youtube directly. The file is usually rendered and you go to youtube to upload the file

[DomingoResponds]

@happyballinkid Well, you can animate the effects. You can set it to be shorter or longer depending on the length of the movie

[DomingoResponds]

@G3milo Good question, a setting may have been adjusted so try setting your defaults, and if that does not work, I'll look into it

[DomingoResponds]

@iqreevo It may be in the media generators tab for the texture. You'll need to chroma key it
