The Idiots Guide to Vegas

I have a question not related to the software per se.

I'm trying to order the software here. This gives me Vegas 6.0 like I would be buying the official box with everything else but without that stuff, right? Also, does anyone know how to add more than one credit card to the order?

2.how do i add that grayish/whitish blinkin effect?

:O..

Go to a clip, right click>Somethings and envelopes>Velocity then right click on the left of the clip where the green thing starts..set to 0.

Then you can drag it out for ten 10.. won't move. Although if you're making an AMV I highly suggest you don't just show a non moving clip for 10 seconds =O

Lawl.. Blinking effect isn't hard. you're probably thinking to much.. You can figure it out

okay maybe i was exaggerating with the 10 seconds thing,maybe more like 3 seconds with the white and black effect,then fade it out to black or something...

but as for the blinkin effect im not talking about the one where you make a gap in between the clips to create the black blinkin effect
^^
[where you can also add a white backround to make a flash]

ive seen a white one where it seems as if the effect comes from within the clip..specially when the clip has a lot of light...
its hard to explain,i think the clip gets bright real quick only whenever there is a beat..but doesnt cut off to the next clip,how would i do this?

use the "glow" effect and keyframes.. or the "light rays"

Now that I've got Vegas 6, I can start but I have one question. What are the ideal settings for subtitles used for lyrics?

Pretty, I guess. I planned on using good ol' yellow.
