Particle Illusion 3.0/ Sony Vegas 6.0 Questions.

Is there a certain reason you are fumbling around with a particle generator when you don't even know how to do the most basic stuff in your editing suite?

And you might not have noticed, there is a very good documentation built into Vegas. Read it first. Seriously.

I knew how to change the speed of an entire clip, I didn't really need the second mini tutorial. >_>

Thanks though for the changing of certain parts though. =D

k. Well, now, here comes the mega confusion, I just opened PI, and I am really confused, there isn't even an import option to import clips. To the right there is a section with particle effects, and a window with a screen in the top middle, and what appears to be a timeline at the bottom middle.

How do you even get the clips into the program? How do you even operate this thing? @_@

It's called help. All programs have it. If you can read. You can figure this out.

Wait nvm, I just saw a video tutorial on YouTube, it has all come to me now.

k. Well not everything. I got the effect the way I want it, and got the effect to take the path I want it to take. Then when I go to import an AVI clip that I want to have the effect take place on, it says that the framerate of the AVI clip is 15.00 fps, and that the framerate of the effect is 30.00 fps, but that it will still load the clip as the background image, but that it may not look like what I intend for it to look like. Then a box comes up that says "AVI request format error." So , I go and change the framerate of the particle effect to 15 fps, thinking it will run the same so it will work with the AVI clip, but the same thing happens.

Can someone let me in on how to get this to work? Do I have to change the framerate of the AVI clip to 30 fps, and if so, how do I do this?

Humor me: what codec is the AVI you're trying to import encoded with?

Hell if I know. It's just a clip I recorded using Camtasia Studios.
