were can i learn effects

[kairi_sora16]

The clear and simple answer is...you can't.

I'm afraid that if you have Vegas 4.0, that is too inadqueate of a program to use/create effects.
.

i mean seriosly




Ok, i wrote a basic guide to vegas which you can get here . I also wrote a guide to 3D in vegas (using the 3dle plug-in) here . Eventualy im gona get down to doing an advanced editing and effects guide, fixing the html, and not being ashamed to put the links in my sig . Till then, if you have any questions at all about vegas, your best option is to post a thread in the video help forums and wait for me or TaranT (I'd bet he knows more about vegas than me) to get here.

Thanks bum ill give it a shot

Real men don't read manuals.

Real men don't read manuals.

But our thread-starter is a standard-issue teen girl. She can read manuals, she just won't understand them the first few times.

So now that you're <i>through</i> all the flames, are you going to <i>throw</i> any?

Real men can tear manuals in half, especially the phonebook-like ones that come with editing software, but that's besides the point.

In another thread somewhere in Video Software Help (which is where this thread should be too, now that I think about it), trythil said something to the effect of 'I think if you're buying FCP, it's assumed that you can read a manual' when someone asked for a FCP guide.

The thing about NLE stuff is that either you know it or you should be competent enough to figure it out for yourself. Generally anyone who works in video started from the bottom and worked their way up (for me it was VideoStudio --> MediaStudio --> Premiere --> AE, you could compare that to TwoVCRs-->EditingDeck-->NLE or WMM-->Premiere). Odds are if you have to spend hours pouring over the first chapter of the Adobe Premiere manual, you're probably going to end up being even more lost when you get to the actual editing.

This isn't to say that there shouldn't be guides and that we should all have to fend for ourselves, because guides like AD's have definately raised the level of AMV quality as a whole.

However, there's a minimum level of competency that kinda has to be attained before you really start editing. One doesn't learn effects before they learn the basics, and one can't really learn the basics if someone's holding their hand the entire way. Newbies generally assume that they can automatically do whatever they want, but it does no good to ask how you can make Euphoria when you don't know enough to make a basic cut-and-fade vid.

Can We get an AMEN from the choir!!!!

It makes my view point of "men read manuals so that they don't feel like a moron when asking for help. Because men don't ask for DIRECTIONS.. We should know the way ourselves and the only way we do that is by reading the manual.." seem rather dwarfed by this great response above.. Mad props. Dokool
