Great publication

This is a great publication. I wish I had gotten it sooner. There are tips in there that it took me months to figure out on my own. Anyone using Vegas 6 should have it.

Vegas 6 Editing Workshop - a good read!

I have been using Vegas now for about a year, and had no formal training in editing before that. When I discovered someone had written a book which explained a lot of the in's and out's of it, I bought it in the hopes I could expand my knowledge and experience. I did the right thing! This book is chock full of goodies, and I know I have only scratched the surface. The accompanying DVD is just what the doctor ordered! It is now next to my computer at work, to use as my "bible" for Sony Vegas, and, I bring it home every night to try new stuff out. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in gaining new insight into Sony Vegas, as well as editing in general. I found it useful and I am sure you will too. Happy editing !!!!

Vegas 6 Video Edit Manual (alias workshop)

A solid get you up and running manual. There are some typos and awkwardly worded bits but they are few. The key to Vegas 6 isn't just how to use it but what makes Vegas very different. Vegas is SOUND EDITING which has taken on video. Rather than video based editing with some sound capability. The ability to illustrate a well constructed sound track on a defined time line with images (still & video) is at the heart of it. The manual takes its time getting to this defining difference but then is thorough.

Spotted Eagle does it again...

This book is an excellent resource for Vegas 5 editors. Douglas Spotted Eagle is known world-wide for his extensive knowledge of the Vegas application. This book is fundamentally necessary for any Vegas 5 editor.

I now know the ins and outs

I heard Douglas Spotted Eagle was the Vegas Guru, but had never read one of his books. Having used Vegas for a little over a year, I knew there was probably more I could learn but didn't quite know how much. Well, I can safely say, there was a lot more I could learn and I'm learning it. I love Vegas and love this book's style of writing. It's as if I have my own personal mentor sitting next to me. Great book!
