Pro, technically. However, they function so similarly that you could learn Movie Studio with this guide. Movie Studio would just have a few limitations that Pro doesn't have, such as limited video tracks and no masking.
... yea ...

I just switched from Adobe Premiere to Sony Vegas recently, so this was pretty helpful in explaining a few technical features i was wondering about.

I have a question for Vegas users out there. Though, I have a funny feeling it has been asked already. Ah well, onto my question.


Sometimes, some clips that I use during the making of my videos go offline for no reason, and in most cases a solid red colour is visible on the clip's picture in the timeline. Does anyone know why this might be happening? When I reload Vegas, the clips return to normal. But I'm just wondering why this happens to me sometimes, especially since I upgraded to Vista.

It happens less often now that I've downloaded a better MPEG decoder. But still, it'll be handy if I had a reason for this oddity.

if you're working with clips on an external hard drive then that might be the problem. those red blocks happen when vegas loses access to the clips, so if you have a hard drive that likes to stop working randomly (my first external did that all the time) then it will happen, just disconnect and reconnect the hard drive.

This is a very great and helpful guide, thank you for making it. ^_^

There is one problem I had though. When I tried to click and drag my video, it added it as an audio track, and I can't get it to add it as a video track. How do I fix this?

You editing losless(lagarith/huffyuv)?Its most likely if you're editing XviD's/DivX's clips.

Download xvid/divx codecs, install them and enjoy editing.
