Hello and welcome to this VTC Course on Sony Vegas Pro 12. My name is Mark Struthers and I've authored many courses for VTC, predominantly on video editing software including versions of Vegas Pro prior to this version, version 12. And I've also created courses for VTC on music software. As a result producing this course on Vegas Pro 12 ostensibly to illustrate how to produce a music video is a job made in heaven for me. I'll explain what Vegas Pro 12 is and can do for those of you who are brand new to the program and video editing programs in general. Sony describe Vegas Pro 12 as an integrated forward thinking production environment designed for a new generation of creative professionals. As a result Vegas allows you to create professional video, audio and Blu-ray disk projects. What we'll do then during this course is initially have a look at how the program works and operates with it's various and varied functions. We'll be using the program as I said earlier to create a music video from a great rocking, already created stereo mix. (Audio Playing) That said of course you can use Vegas Pro 12 to create any form of professional quality video and therefore the skills I talk you through are transferable to any project that you wish to create. And it's for that reason therefore I won't be using any additional music software to create the music track. Also because you might be using Vegas Pro 12 to produce a video that isn't music related, during the opening section of this course I'll talk you through important and essential information concerning setting up the program and how you optimize for your preference and the type of project that you might be running. Now so far I've spoken about using Vegas Pro 12 as a new user. I also want to introduce existing users to some of the new features implemented into this version, version 12. Now just before I go any further let me explain I'm using Vegas Pro 12, the top end version of the program. There are cut down versions of the program with a smaller feature set. However, much of what I show you in this VTC course will be transferable to the lower end versions of Vegas as well. Not all of them of course, but much of it. So even if you're not running the full version or even at version 12 you can still benefit from watching through this course. That said I will look at the parallel or extra add-on to Vegas Pro 12 called TitlerPro from New Blue Effects which allows you to create high quality titles either statically or as animations and effects. So what do we cover in this course? How will it pan out? Well as I said earlier I'll initially talk about setting up the program prior to looking at the user interface and where things are before working through a typical workflow. Now our workflow will show how to bring assets in into a brand new project. These assets being film, audio and photographs. And then we'll organize them into convenient common folders so that we can access them easily thus accelerating our workflow. We'll work through how to use video effects to not only make minor edits and corrections to video footage but also so that we can implement more creative effects too. Now even though we'll predominantly use a stereo mixed track for our music video, we'll also look at providing a remixed version of a music track by using Vegas Pro 12's complete multi-track environment. And this allows us to create alternate mixes for a music track for different destinations. Now connected to the final output, as the course draws to a close we'll look at exporting our projects ready for DVD and Blu-ray production. With Vegas's DVD creation partner program, DVD Architect. So we've got quite a lot to cover during this course. So let's get started now. I'll see you in a second.
