Hey jedidv,
great website…I’m glad you posted it. I’ll be registering! Looks like it will help. It’s always nice to have more than one reference place.

If your doing run of the mill home videos, that you want to look half way decent….Video explosion deluxe or movie edit pro are both nice with cool special effects that you can add in, like fire, explosions, clouds ect…
I’ve got both of those and I’ve also recently got Vegas pro 8. While Vegas pro8 is really cool to do other kinds of effects with…it didn’t come with any of the cool effects like fire, explosions and stuff. (If it does, I wish someone would tell me where their at.) If vegas pro had these special effects…It would be extremely worth the price.
Vegas pro is really good, but at different stuff. Actually, now that I have it, I just use the special effects from the others and import it into Vegas, but I’m starting to go beyond family videos now. If you can get the other two at good prices…say 25 or 30 bucks a piece, I’d say get them, if for nothing else but the special effects. I’ve looked at websites and they want mega bucks for a few seconds of a clip that I already have.
I know what your talking about and If you got the extra money and you like doing it….I’d get those 2 and then get Vegas pro. If not…I’d just try to get the other two for 50-60 bucks total. The special effects are AVI files, so both programs can use them. Hope this helps.

On the crop out and add different background….I’m extremely new to all this…but the only way I’ve figured out to cut out someone to add them to a different background (I assume your talking about some one in a video) is to go to “event pan/crop” and using the “anchor tool” on every single frame.
Theres a tutorial on youtube about how to create light sabers using only sony vegas. I used this same idea to do what your talking about. I figured out how to do it…but haven’t fully done it yet. I’ve only done a few frames. Just search “light sabers with sony vegas” in youtube and you should be able to find it.

Try Youtube. They’ve also got a little help on other topics also.

Well I asked someone who bought an education version, they said it’s a full version and when they registered…it wasn’t a hassle. Just a run-of-the-mill register. No academic questions were asked.
Retlaw….Now that, I don’t know about. That’s a very good point.

Soniclight,
I did what you suggested and it all came out well! Got the Vegas 6 for $99 and then upgraded today for $149.
The upgrade also comes with DVD ARC. pro 4.5
Thanks for the info dude! Good job.

Popcorn,
I just received my Vegas 6 in the mail ($99 deal) and then upgraded to Vegas8 today from the sony software website also.
Yes, I got the transitions and video effects. It all worked like I expected. And it comes with DVD ARC. pro 4.5.I’m just happy that I got Vegas 8 for $250 (total) instead of the other higher prices. This is my first Vegas software.
It’s funny….I’ve got Video Explosion that I bought a few years ago and it’s got the same interface. Maybe not all the same stuff, but it came with a bunch of high and low resolution effects like fire, explosions, clouds, lights ect… to use over top of pictures or video and they are all avi files, so I can use them in Vegas.
Now comes the task of learning how to use the program.

Well….like I said, I seen the deal on Amazon and not through some education software site. (I’ve seen those before.)
They had no mention of terms to buy it. There are two different stores selling it on there for that price and only one mentioned that “education” was imprinted on the box. You know where it says something like….”26 new and used starting at $x.xx” and then you click on it and it shows all these stores selling the same thing at different prices.
So…I guess this is a heck of a deal after all. Thanks guys! -
Thanks Rick.
