I use Sony Vegas 9 for my youtube videos.

 

I learned most of what I know about it from tutorials on youtube.

And a few from here:

I first started using sony editors around 2004 or so. learning curve with this is incredibly easy - especially if you're already good with editors in general. at times it can feel over-simplified cause of how similar it's user interface is to Sony Acid (audio editor if you're not familiar with it. safe to say vegas is acid's clone - fully video-capable), but once you get comfortable using it after a while, it can pretty much do absolutely anything you could think of (from a "gamer/modder" perspective, trailers, advanced/professional transition effects, motion tracking, color correction, you name it). i highly recommend trying this software out

 

just a quick tip

 

-always make sure "disable resample" is applied to all of your clips/footage. enabled by default - it creates this incredibly jarring "motion blur/double vision" effect when rendering the final product. not until last year out of pure desperation was i able to figure this out haha. other than that, this thing is a blast to work with!

Interesting. I also purchased Vegas for the purpose of YouTube videos. This tool is also known for it's high definition, and if you want to make ingame bink videos, you should get RAD tools.

 

As for tutorials, I'm not too familiar with everything in Vegas, but then again, I know only the basics. You can click that tab in your video clip, the two boxes and the divider in the middle to add effects to your movie clip. The square tab determines how close up you want to zoom in your clip during the video.

 

Also, if you're sick and tired of those letterbox formats in your video, you should flip on stretch to video size in render options.

I strongly recommend upgrading to Sony Vegas 10, for anyone who is still using earlier versions. 10 really has a lot of added features such as animated filters and aspects/zoom. I really would not live without it!

Sony Vagas is a bit expensive for me, i am using a tool called AppGeeker FLV MOV Converter, a little nice tool comes with converting and basic editing function.

 

Personally, i think Sony Vagas is much professional but complicate.

My college gave us all one license that would allow us to video edit from home which is pretty good I guess. I'm going to make use of the four years license and have used it previously.

 

Very quick rendering speed, easy to use basic functions and advanced functions fro those who need it.
