Negative Positive
Title: Solid basics. Easy index.
Review: Vegas is a sound editor (music editor etc) with video editing.Say again? Most inexpensive video edit mechanisms edit video. Sound is whatever happens in the process. Very hard to add motion clips to a sound script, a reading, a lecture etc. Real video editing nearly always starts with a sound track which has been tailored to the time allowed. Then visuals go in. That's the way it ought to be. That's the way the big boys do it. That's what Vegas is.But when the product suits the heavy users, how do you wade through the many "features" (distractions?) to know what YOU need to do? This is a good source. The organization is well suited to tasks rather than spin off from "features".High end users may want neato pearls in gobs. There's some. But the book sticks to the job at hand. Get the program up and running and get the job done. I like that.
Is the review positive or negative?
