How do I drag in a .avi file so that I can start experimenting around with it? It keeps complaining every time I try to.

Is the avi lossless as explained in this guide? Vegas doesn't have to accept DivX/XviD .avi and even if it will, it will probably be buggy.

Use Avisynth to convert any file you have (mkv, mp4, avi) to a lossless avi, then import it to Vegas.

Unless you have a LOT of hard drive space (and that IS more likely these days), just convert CLIPS that you want to use to lossless, then import those.

1. How do I put a .avi or .mkv video up to edit in the program? In WMM you just drag the file over but it seems a lot more complicated here.

2. How do I copy and cut material from said files? (let's say I have episode one of "random anime" and I want to copy the opening and save it for later usage)

3. How do I paste in new materials? (like say, a video from the internet or a piece of copied material from within a .avi file like earlier said opening)

4. Can I save the files as .avi files or .mkv or will Vegas Pro (I'm using Vegas Pro 12.0) force me to use something else?

Have you even tried to read the guide? There are answers for all of your questions.

Ah, I'll study it in depth tomorrow. If I'm still lost, I'll ask again. :) (I'm just a little intimidated by all the info, still new at this)

I'm a little ways through.


How do I use avisynth and where do I download it?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/?source=dlp


I don't seem to get anything from this download except something that sends me back online to download it again. I have no idea where to find it or how to open it when I set it up.
