PLZ I NEED HELP QUICK

Postby saruto23 » Tue Jul 01, 2008 11:58 am

i downloaded the Sony Vegas 7.0 trial and ALL my videos are AVI and use DIVX. Everyone says i shouldnt use those on Sony Vegas. I have no idea what to do. Can you please help me out on what to do with my files. And also if you could give me a link to a video or somthing that helps me with how to work with Vegas that would be great too. Thank you.

Read "A&E's Technical Guides to All Things Audio and Video (BETA)" to learn about AviSynth and VirtualDubMod, which can be used to convert your video to a lossless format for editing.

Also, this same forum has The Idiots Guide to Vegas stickied at the very top.

read everything. If you're to lazy to read those guides just quit the hobby now because you'll never get anywhere.

Buy it or get it some other way. It's the internet, get creative.

And of course, by that he means it's your computer, so your registry values are your own.

You quote other people by pressing the little "Quote" button on the top right of their post.

And don't be a bloody pirate; just find a cheap place to get the software. (Link courtesy of JaddziaDax.)

$120 is actually rather cheap for a program that actually costs about $1000

Get a job. Mow lawns, sell lemonade.

I bought my mac with final cut pro with proceeds from working at a movie theatre during college.

No sympathy.

And read the sticky.

You have not yet entered the world if you think $120 is expensive for anything pertaining to video editing. Typical student pricing for that is about $300 while actual retail pricing is about $550.

And don't even get me started on Adobe bundles, Final Cut bundles, or (heaven forbid) Avid.

Like was stated, go mow a lawn or something. A little bit of work isn't going to kill you.
