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.

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!
