2.0 out of 5 stars Stick with the Sony Tutorials, March 5, 2006
As a novice I found this book lacked clarity and focus. There is too much Video Editors jargon thrown in at times,some of the diagrams just do not get across the point trying to be made, and often the point is not clearly described in plain language. The simple method of doing something is sometimes overlooked in favour of a more complex selection.
This book may be ok if you have quite a lot of previous experience of professional video editing on a PC, but I found the Sony "Show me how Tutorials" that come with the software to be far more concise, to the point and enable the work to be done. As a beginner this book has been of little use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much help with Version 6.0, September 13, 2005
By Ted Pytlewicz (Warrenville, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased Movie Studio + DVD 6.0 and needed help so I turned to this book which I purchased from Amazon.com. Well, I wish they would have indicated which version of Movie Studio this book was compiled on because 6.0 has many changes compared to 4.0. I did get some knowledge from the book, but not enough to justify the cost. I also think that if one did have 4.0, this book would be confusing to the novice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Must be a better book, February 17, 2007
There is a problem in getting an easy tutorial for Vegas Movie Studio but this is not it. The book is full of jargon and not too helpful in learning. The examples are woven into the text making it difficult to follow explanations.

I would not recommend as a source of learning Movie Studio

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the Sony tutorials (also out of date)
I bought this book knowing that it covered an out-of-date version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio. But that, I thought, was OK: I was looking for a book that would cover the important... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars For whom was this book meant?
This book is relatively useless. Relatively, because it's main flaw is that it fails to define its audience, just as Douglas Spotted Eagle's training DVDs on Vegas 9. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated Material
I have Vegas Studio 9. Nothing applies. This book should not even offered any longer as most will find it of no use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, but Vegas has a steep learning curve
At least for my simple mind. I don't take enough time to keep the knowledge fresh on my mind. If I spent a lot of time I'm sure that I could do well with the software. Read more
