I've had Vegas 4 for years now , must admit I haven't done a lot with it except using it for a few nice effects like old movie . But I've had version 6 [c] now for a while and have just loaded it on to a Pc the other day . To be honest I could'nt see a great deal of difference except it does HD and theres a few more effects . The layout is still the same though . But the more I get into this software the more I like it .It is really good . I been using it for extracting or clipping a video and it does it remarkably well ,once you've put in those flags ,you can slide the bar anywhere along the time line and render the clip [as a loop ]. So , I would be interested in a few tips too . I found some good video tutorials on Ulead Studio from there site which cover :capture ,transitions ,adding titles etc , I should try the Sony site .
