Learning Vegas 8
Does anyone know of any books to help learn this software? I am new to this and it seems overwhelming. I been playing around with it for the last few days and figured out a bit on my own but a good book that shows how to use features or even a DVD or something?
If not, what is the best way to learn this software and th ins and outs. Thanks, Kev |

Kevin...
I learned a lot at Ed Troxel's site.. http://www.jetdv.com/vegas/forum/index.php And I've learned a lot by buying the VAAST series of DVDs... http://www.vasst.com/search.aspx?for...&sort=priority Vegas is a great program, but there is a lot to learn... Good luck, Bob T.

douglas,
do you have a newbie book, like how to burn dvds in hd in vegas 8. i just need the very basic stuff that i'm afraid is not covered because it is so basic. i'm using the trail version now but i'm afraid it is too much for me and thinking about going to a more basic program like vegas studio. all i want to do is download my hd video from my canon hv20, and burn it to dvd in hd. mostly football games. very little editing, although have a menu with a looping short looping video would be great also. do you have the basic manuels in that? thanks, gerald |

Our "Absolute Training" DVDs cover the extreme basics. The Vegas book covers the extreme basics. Edward's newsletters have a "Beginners Corner" in them.
In other words, don't be afraid the basics have been ignored by anyone. Yes, the book shows (as does the DVD) how to make a looping menu with a video file, and how much editing you do to the file is entirely up to you.

i do not know what any of that stuff means so it looks like i should be heading towards the studio version. all i mainly need is the ability to capture hd video and be able to burn it to a dvd in hd. i might mess around some with the looping menu but thats about it.
plus 100 bucks plus 150 upgrade equals 250 bucks vegas studio equals $120 bucks is the studio verson easier to learn on than the pro8 verson? i hate making this decision. anyone gone thru before before, please let me know how it went. thanks, gerald |
