Organism Seven,
I just bought and reviewed Gary Kleiner's disks available from Mobile Pro Video at www.VegasTrainingAndTools.com. It's 2 DVD's and 3 hours of excellent tutorial. I have been using Vegas for over a year and I learned several excellent techniques for editing shows. For instance, I wasn't aware that I could make my project the same length as my music track without editing individual events by simply highlighting the entire video timeline, and then grabbing the last edge and pulling it out to match the music track. Vegas automatically expands the events equally. What a time saver. Many more tips and methods. This is exactly what I wanted in a tutorial. One recommendation...get the add on Excaliber at the same time. It's really worth the money. Cost for the tutorial disks is about $50 and excaliber is an extra $20 (US). Enjoy.

I have both sets and they're both useful but I prefer the ones by DSE.

I can second that I bought them and they are very well laid out... I have learnt a lot in a short time and my way of working is better structured..

I only know of 2 DVD training sets. They are Class on Demand with Douglas Spotted Eagle and the other Vegas Training and Tools by Gary Kleiner. Do a search on training and you find lots of discussions on this topic. Also check out http://www.blue7media.com/vegas/ for lots of useful Vegas links including training.

Yeah, the Class on Demad ones are much better.

Don't forget the "Digital Video and Audio Production" guide by Sony Foundry. It's a little basic, but a great place to start....about $40.

Hi Mark,
I have searched around and unless I am missing the obvious I cannot find where to buy
the DSE dvds. Can you please give me a link?
Thanks,
Max

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Just a few more details required.
I feel that I need educating a lot more on the audio side of things.
Which set of discs covers this issue best.
Also, I see that the DSE DVD's are only available in NTSC format.
I'm in the UK, so I'm in PAL world!
I will be watching these discs on my PC not on the TV, so will I be OK to get these?

Regards
Organism Seven
