Anyone who wants to learn more about Vegas “should be here.” Granted, Brad may not want to do that, but I still wouldn’t want anyone who “cannot splice” or perform other basic tasks to feel that they aren’t welcome on this site. Because they are.

I agree, there are fundamental things to know in order to be truly creative in Vegas. It is my goal for this to be a place people can learn both of those aspects.

Are you friikkkin kidding me…you cannot SPLICE ?!! And you call this training dvd crappy. Listen, firstly, if you cannot SPLICE then you shouldnt be on this forum (its the letter “S” to splice). Buy this DVD if you want to know how to import files, work on them and manage files. I think those are the fundamental things you have to know before you start getting creative with your own talent and skills. This is a must have dvd

I have the whole serie companion-discs and love it!! I use Vegas since version 6 but in this discs I found many thing I didn’t know. When I’m looking for some more information how to do certain things, compositing, multicamera, but also the standard setting after upgrading to Vegaspro 9 I look it up and find it very useful. Also the tips from Gary are really nice.
Also for the video-club that I’s a member off I sometimes help out for special editing things for collegues thanks to the things I learned from the companion-dvd’s.

Splicing in Vegas: Put the curser on the splice point and click “S” on your keyboard.

If you are new on it, check youtube for tutorials…

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but I guess I’d have to disagree. I didn’t know a thing about editing video when I first started using Vegas Pro, and I found it very intuitive.

But if you feel that you need some guidance, there’s quite a bit out there. The package I reviewed here would probably be overkill as it covers a lot of tools you don’t even have access to (since you mentioned “Platinum,” I suspect you’re using Vegas Movie Studio, not Vegas Pro), but there are a couple other DVDs / book on Amazon you could try.

As for the issue you mentioned, I can’t be sure in what context you’re using the term “splice.” But I’ve a feeling that checking the manual / online help for “splitting” may give you the answers you seek.

I bought the sony vegas pro 9 platinum editing software because the price seemed relatively low, and it bragged about being a good beginner editing tool. I’ve had mine for a week and still can’t figure out how to make a simple splice. It definitely is NOT for beginners unless they have a teacher or editing class to go with it. The free web tutorials have not helped much at all. Disappointment!
