I've made a couple of slideshows before with Vegas 5 and they came out really good. Now I'm trying to edit video for the first time (footage from a carribean cruise) and I'm having a really, really hard time, but I think my technique might be the problem.
My technique is to usually pick a song and then try to adjust my footage according to the beat. Well, with the carribean cruise I'm finding that I can only find enough clips that match the beat for about 30 seconds and then I'm out of ideas.
So, when you create a video... do you add the music first or edit the footage first and add it afterwards?
I'm thinking about buying Sonicfire Pro so I can easily create soundtracks, but if I do that then I will have to edit my footage first and the thought of editting footage without having music already added just blows my mind...
