101 Tips & Tricks for Sony Movie Studio - updated for Movie Studio 11



GREAT resource for learning Sony Vegas Movie Studio
I had been trying to find instructional materials to help me through the process of learning Vegas Movie Studio without much luck. Frustrated by the seeming lack of availability of any instructional materials for this wonderful video editing application, I decided to search on Youtube to see if I could find anything that might be useful to help me learn the program. That's where I found many helpful video tips posted by Bill Meyers; the author and producer of "101 Tips, Tricks and Techniques for Sony Vegas Movie Studio". I only wish I had found his video tips before I wasted a LOT of my time sifting through Youtube videos posted by BRAProductions and another Youtube user named Mark Apsolon. These other two youtube users are self absorbed people who are more interested in promoting themselves and increasing their comments and number of views for their youtube videos than in helping their viewers learn something. If you want to waste incredible amounts of your time to "possibly" learn a...

I am so glad I found this! It is great!!!
Pros...

Lots of great content broken up into small segments. It's very easy to find what you need.
The videos are short, to the point and show you exactly what you need to do to get a particular effect. Bill uses lots of screen shots so you can see everything he is doing very easily.
The material covered is very relevant to what you will actually need to do a real world project. Blur out faces, spotlight faces, slow motion, green screen effect (like you see all the time on tv and in the movies) so you can have very professional looking backgrounds, change from color to B&W, make new video look like older footage, etc...

The DVD covers the basics, telling you what settings to use when you are first starting out. Then, it covers many effects that you will need if you want your videos to look like the pro videos you see on TV all the time.

I am only half way through the videos right now and I can already say I am thoroughly happy with this...

The best source to learn Sony Movie studio.
I will make this short and sweet. Bill Myers delivers a how to video that is wonderful. Even though I have Pro 9, the basic are all the same. Without this video I would been pulling my hair out by the roots as I hate to read manuals. Bills intructions are clear and to the point. He explains everything thoroughly and will have you doing your own special effects in no time. I highly recomend this video for anyone who has a Sony Video software and little or no experience in video editing like myself. In fact I dare say it is a must unless you like to frustrate yourself. Good job Bill and keep them coming.
