ABSTRACT

Installing Vegas is no different from loading any application, but certain settings, steps, and habits can make operating Vegas more pleasant and efficient. Before loading Vegas, make sure that any anti-virus software installed has been temporarily disabled. If a great deal of editing is to be done on this machine, it’s worth considering building a separate user profile that keeps anti-virus off at all times during the capture, editing, rendering, and printing-to-tape processes. Register Vegas when prompted to do so; by registering, people will be notified of product updates via email and receive other important information related to Sony Vegas Pro software. Multiple tracks can be selected by holding the Shift key and clicking each track chosen for selection. When multiple tracks are selected, any changes made to the controls on one track affect all tracks. Selecting the Enable Snapping option causes events to line up or snap to grid markers, other events, cursor positions, or inserted markers.
