To crossfade two audio events, simply drag one over the other with the time space you desire. If you right click you can alter the speed and ease of the crossfade. Same for video.
If the audio events are on seperate tracks, right click and add ‘volume’ envelope to both of them, bringing one down and the other up for the crossfade.
You can also right click these to change the ease of the fade.

You should probably have DVD Architect. It works very nicely with Vegas, as it is Sony Creative Software. (I’m not sure what it’s like burning blu-ray in that). You have two decent options:
Option One Procedure:
1. Download and install Sony’s DVD Architect.2. Render your whole video in MPEG 2 without audio, there should be an option in MPEG 2 called ‘DVD Architect NTSC’ or PAL or 24p. Choose the one you need (NTSC is 30fps, PAL 25ps and Motion Pictures are 24p). Or if you’re rendering Blu-ray, you’ll find relevant options further down.
3. Render the audio in AC3 Stereo, or there are other formats.
4. Open DVD architect, and make your DVD look lovely with the decorative tools, and drag in your video and audio stuff. It lets you set ‘chapter’ markers, meaning the viewer could skip songs conveniently and you could add a ‘Song Selection’ menu that takes a viewer straight to the song.
5. File > BURN BABY BURN
Option Two Procedure:
1. In Sony Vegas, go to Tools > Burn Disc and then you’ve got your ‘DVD’ and ‘Blu Ray Disc’ and you can just batter it onto a disc right there. This however means you get no DVD menu, no quirky song skipping: just raw video to watch, fast-forward and rewind.2. Wish you had chosen option 1.
Hope this helps!

Add some Bee Gees and edit flamboyantly! Perhaps some comic book onomatopoeia?
POW! BAM! SPLASH!
EXPLOSIONS!!Although it depends on the sub-genre of the ‘family videos’!

Really? In Vegas you just click whatever resolution in a drop down list, edit, then put it back to HD and you’re done haha! Goodness!

I have a glidecam like the one you linked to, and it’s great but really difficult to aim in movement and you have to think of like wind, air, momentum and your posture and it’s really all quite difficult to judge.
I’ve got some really excellent smooth shots with it. But standing still it’s pretty awful.To be honest, I would’ve said a shoulder mount! It’s a lot easier for more direct, quickfire shots. No fussing around with weights and balances, just BAM! and you’ve got it.
I would check out these reasonably priced shoulder mounts:

I shoot at 1080p but edit in DVD resolution, then render in full HD.
Works a treat if your system is less than ideal!Daniel Hughes

Steve Rhoden just posted an awesome noise reduction plugin over on the Vegas forum. You can get it for many platforms.

I believe he already did that! I think that’s probably the only way though.
