Summary: Very Helpful Aid For Vegas Users - Highly Recommended
Comment: Bill Myers has produced many good Vegas tutorials and this one, "101 Tips & Tricks for Sony Movie Studio", is also a great collection. We professionally make instructional videos for my wife's small business and have used Sony Vegas for many years (we are on Sony Vegas Pro 9 and also use Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 Suite). This video is relevant for all of the most recent versions of Vegas.

This video is divided into chapters for easy navigation and includes the promised "Tips & Tricks" but also a very useful section on customizing the "Preferences" to make the workflow smoother (at least for me).

Each concept is covered with video examples and a walkthrough of the required steps to achieve the result. The videos are mostly short and to the point, but thoroughly cover the concept being shown.

The real value of the DVD is that it even if you don't need a particular "Trick", watching all of it will give you an idea of the true power of Vegas and will give you ideas on how to get the most out of it on future projects.

Highly Recommended!

Summary: Excellent Training Tool
Comment: This guide is the best I have found so far for Sony Vegas Movie Studio. It will get you up and running quickly. Straight forward and easy to use. I switched back and forth between Vegas and the tutorial by using the pause on the tutorial video. it works great. I have it in the drive the whole time I am editing so I can refer back to it if I get stuck on how to do something.

Summary: GREAT resource for learning Sony Vegas Movie Studio
Comment: 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 tidbit of something useful here or there, then I suggest you go to Youtube and view videos on Sony Vegas posted by Mark Apsolon. You will watch a 15 to 20 minute video of him talking about his website and his random drawing contest for people who post comments on his videos and maybe he'll actually discuss Sony Movie Studio for 3 or 4 meandering minutes out of a 20 minute video. I think you'll find like I did that watching his videos are a complete waste of your time.

If you value your time like I do and really want to learn useful tips that will quickly get you working in this wonderful video application, then check out some of Bill Meyers Youtube videos on Sony Vegas Movie Studio and then Purchase "101 Tips and Tricks". I didn't purchase my copy from Amazon; I purchased it from Bill Meyers website, along with another video, "Tools of How to Video Production". Bill Meyers is very knowledgeable about using both Sony Vegas and Movie Studio and is an excellent teacher. His no nonsense approach to sharing his knowledge of these applications is well planned and thought out before he actually films his video clips, so what you get are short and concise video clips that get right to the point. All of his clips focus on demonstrating specific steps in accomplishing a variety of different tasks to aid the viewer in putting together your own video clips to make a complete DVD video production. The DVD is well organized and includes many videos that you won't find on youtube. I was convinced that purchasing his instructional DVD would be a good educational investment after watching some of his video clips on youtube and I was right! If you want to quickly learn valuable tips and information to help you get started in editing your own videos using Vegas Movie Studio, then I highly recommend you purchase this DVD as well as checking out his youtube videos; just search for Bill Meyers, Sony Vegas.
