Vegas Pro video editing software for

content creators. Okay, there's a free

trial. I'm not a

robot. Let's test out Vegas Pro and see

how it compares to Adobe Premiere Pro

because so far I've tested all the most

popular video editing softwares and

Premiere is by far the best one for me,

especially when it comes to editing

fast. So, let's see what Vegas Pro is

capable of. Select the components that

you would like to install. Why is this

text so low resolution? Vegas Pro and

Vega deep learning models. What are the

deep learning models? Is it going to

mine Bitcoin in the background? Oh, I

just missed 69%. I was waiting for it,

but then didn't resume the recording in

time. While it's installing, I'm going

to record a quick video that I'm going

to try to edit in Vegas Pro. And I'll

see if it checks all the boxes that I

need to be able to edit videos fast.

What do I actually need from a video

editing software? Boom. I need at least

all of this to be able to zoom in and

out with key frames. remove some green

screen, add guides. Da Vinci Resolve

didn't have guides, professional video

editing software, adjustment layers,

switching panels with keyboard

shortcuts. I absolutely love this about

Premiere. And all the basic stuff that

probably any video editing software

should have, like keyboard shortcuts for

trimming clips, fast, audio effects like

normalization or compressor. This one is

more of a personal preference, but I

want the playhead to stop playing after

I move it to another place. This was

insanely annoying in Da Vinci Resolve

and also a little bit annoying in Final

Cut Pro. I want the software to be fast.

Obviously, I want to be able to change

sequence settings like FPS or resolution

and easily crop and transform clips. I

think these demands are pretty

reasonable. Okay. Booyah. I've recorded

the video that I'm going to be editing

in this video. Very interesting. And for

some reason, the Vegas Pro thing has

been stuck at 98% for quite a long time.

So, I think I'm just clicking continue.

Oh, now it's moving 99%. Why did I have

to click continue for that to happen?

Send data anonymously to improve Vegas

products. No chance. Create a desktop

shortcut. I want to see the icon.

Install. The installation has completed

successfully, but this one still hasn't

completed successfully. Please choose a

language for this installation. What?

Didn't I already do this before? Oh,

this is for deep learning models. There

we go. Please register in order to

activate your trial period. You can now

use the trial version for 30 days.

Beautiful. It does take a little while

to open. I'm assuming it's because it's

the first time. Ooh, there we are. Okay,

there seems to be a lot of stuff here.

And immediately the top bar is white.

Premiere has this issue as well.

Premiere Vegas. Premiere Vegas. I can

already see similarities. Everything is

in dark mode except this white bar up

top that's just blazing light into your

eyes when you're trying to edit. Why

would you do this? Just make it dark

mode. Now, while I'm blindly trying to

figure out how to use Vegas Pro by

poking around everywhere, there's a much

more efficient and fun way to learn

skills, that's why I partnered with

Skillshare for this video. Recently,

I've been trying to learn a little bit

more of Blender to level up my video

production skills. And with classes and

learning paths on Skillshare, it's been

easy to learn. Skillshare is the largest

online learning community for creatives

with thousands of classes led by

industry experts across film,

illustration, design, freelance,

productivity, and more. Skillshare can

help take your career, skills, hobbies,

passions, or side hustles to the next

level. For instance, when I first

started learning how to use Adobe

Photoshop and how to edit videos with

Premiere Pro, Skillshare was incredibly

helpful because of their learn by doing

approach. There are great classes on Da

Vinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro for

beginners as well. In fact, one of my

favorite classes is actually from the

same creator and it's about

productivity. In it, I learned a bunch

of insanely valuable principles that I

continue to implement to this day while

making videos and growing my YouTube

channel. Skillshare is designed by

creatives for creatives, and their

classes are taught by industry experts.

It's an ondemand platform which means

that all classes are split up into

modular lessons so members can learn at

their own pace and fuel their continuous

growth no matter the skill level. Now

I've been also teaching on Skillshare

since 2022. I have a class about

creating these cool animations with code

and another one about using Google

Sheets to track your expenses. So if

you'd like to check out any of these

classes or what Skillshare has to offer,

you can do so down below. And the first

500 people to use my link in the

description will receive a 1 month free

trial of Skillshare. Get started today.

Okay, back to Vegas Pro. Okay, here we

have the new project window. Resolution

and frame rate. My recording is in 4K at

60fps. So, I'm going to sabotage myself

a little bit and set this to 1080p 30fps

to see if I can change it later. Oh,

advanced settings. Flashbanged. Oh,

there are many settings here. even pixel

aspect ratio. HDR mode. Premiere

struggles with this, especially with

videos recorded on iPhones. Audio. I'm

going to want to set it to mono. Oh,

there's no mono here. Oh, pre-render

files folder. App data local Vegas Pro.

So, this is probably where it's going to

store lower quality versions of my video

so that it plays back nicer. Okay. And

we are in I can see Explorer here,

desktop. So, where's the video file? Oh,

there it is. And can I drag it here to

import it? You want to set your project

video settings to match this media. So,

it's automatically going to make it 4K.

And there it is. 4K and 60 fps.

Beautiful. So, it's possible to change

sequence settings. Actually, before I

try to do something, can I now change it

to something else? Open the project

properties by pressing alt enter or

going into file properties. Alt enter.

And here I can choose a different one.

That is beautiful. So, what if I set it

to 1080p 30 fps? Oh, look at that hand

cursor. That looks very nice. So, what

if I move it here? And it automatically

resized my clip so that it fits the

frame. That's very nice. And if I change

it back to 4K. Wait, there's no 60 fps.

There's 59.9. Can I type in 60? Oh,

beautiful. And it shows the preview

quality. So, what I'm seeing here, it's

960x

540. Wo. When I'm dragging this, it's

weirdly lagging. I'm dragging my mouse

left only left. I'm not doing the

jittering. And it's jittering like this.

Is that on purpose or is this a bug? Oh,

I've set an in and-out point

accidentally. Alt X. Control Shift X.

How do I get rid of it? Insert region.

Woah, woah, woah. Stop doing things.

Let's undo everything. Oh, why did my

audio just become red? Oh, that's

because I didn't have it selected. Okay,

so I just added this thing. Let's

completely ignore it for

now. It's so cool that you can move your

timeline like this by grabbing it with a

hand tool and dragging instead of shift

and scrolling. Oh no, Da Vinci Resolve

did this as well. It's not zooming into

my mouse, but it's zooming into the

playhead. So, if the playhead is here

and my mouse is over there, whenever I

try to zoom in, it's actually going to

zoom into the playhead. I'm not sure why

this is a good idea. Or maybe I'm just

used to how Premiere does it. In

Premiere, if my playhead is here, but I

position my mouse here, it will zoom

into the mouse regardless of where the

playhead is. And I think this is so much

better. Maybe there's a way to change

it. Unfortunately, Vegas Pro does not

have a built-in feature to zoom into the

mouse cursor. Ooh, that is not good. Why

would they not make it an optional

feature? This is going to take me weeks,

if not months, to get used to. Okay, so

let's actually come to the beginning.

Wow, the dragging behavior is so

horrible. Look, I'm going to move my

mouse just right. I'm speeding up, but

this thing isn't speeding up. It's just

slowly scrubbing by. If you're

experiencing laggy playhead scrubbing in

Vegas Pro, enable GPU acceleration. Go

to options, preferences, video tab,

options, preferences. Oh, there are a

bunch of preferences. Surely it's

enabled by default. Yes, this is my

graphics card, so it's enabled. Lower

preview quality. Set the preview quality

to auto. Adjust dynamic RAM in preview.

Dynamic RAM. Preview max is 5% of my

computer RAM. So, what if I just give it

like 60%. Does it scrub nicer now? No.

It's still super laggy. So, I think a

lot of Vegas users just click on the

clip to move the playhead instead of

moving it like this because this feels

horrible. It's hard to explain over

video, but essentially when I do this,

my mouse should be like right here.

That's how much I actually move it in

Premiere. If I want to move it like

this, there you how I can do that. But

here, oh, encoding overloaded. Consider

turning down in video settings. My OBS

is freaking out. Probably because Vegas

Pro is eating up my computer resources.

Let's actually check. Oh, no. It's

actually Premiere Pro. They're pretty

much equally consuming the same amount

of RAM. So, let's close down Premiere.

Maybe now it improved. No, this is super

bad. Let's do a little bit more Googling

about this.

Oh, when you enable selection follows

playhead in Premiere where it

automatically selects a clip that your

playhead is hovering over, that causes a

bunch of lag. This is without it

enabled. No lag. And this seems like a

complicated sequence. Come on, play the

before. And this is with it enabled.

Look at how laggy that is. Just randomly

learn something about Premiere. The way

I typically do it is split my large

sequence into a bunch of smaller ones

and then combine them later at the end.

Because for some reason in Premiere once

you cross over a certain threshold of

clips in your sequence it becomes

unbearably laggy. And the only thing I

found to fix this was to create multiple

smaller sequences. Drag the line not the

top playhead. Oh, why is this different?

So if I drag this line, there's

absolutely no lag. But if I drag this

Oh, maybe it's with audio or something.

I'm glad it's actually not that laggy

and I just didn't know that I have to

drag this line. That probably would have

been a dealbreaker. Okay, so I think

let's jump straight into it. Before I

start messing around with all of these

tools and looking at different features,

let's try to edit the video the way I

would normally do it. So, the first

thing I would do is cut up the audio. If

I zoom in here, oh, why is it zooming in

there? Oh, when you zoom in, it centers

your playhead in the middle of the

screen. So, if the playhead is here,

it's not actually zooming into the

playhead and keeping it on the same spot

on the screen. It's going to move it to

the middle. Look, I zoom in, it slowly

goes to the middle. And now it's right

there. And if I put it there and zoom

out, it also puts it in the middle.

Interesting behavior. This is definitely

different. I'm not sure if I like this

yet. Maybe I can customize it.

Unfortunately, Vegas Pro does not have a

built-in option to disable centering the

playhead when zooming out. I would love

for a bunch of video editing softwares

that I've tried to let the user enable

or disable these features as toggles. If

someone wants to zoom in where their

mouse cursor is. Wait, let's actually

check something. Does the playhead stop

when I move it to another place while

it's playing? I hate when it doesn't

stop. Okay, it's playing. Boop. It

doesn't stop. Hold on. It's playing. I

move it and stop. What? It moves back

here. Oh, here. It shows where it

started playing from. Wait, it always

resets it. Interesting. Oh, what? I'm

not actually moving the playhead. I'm

moving this thing here. So, if it's

playing over there, I can click here,

which doesn't do anything other than

move this thing. And then when I hit

space, it actually moves my playhead

here. Not sure why would you want this

behavior. So it's like having two

separate playheads. One for previewing

the clip and the other one for doing

stuff. Okay, how would I split this clip

here? Actually, where are all the

keyboard shortcuts? It's under help. Oh,

it takes you to an online help page.

Never mind. Options, customize keyboard.

Oh, it's quite an outdated looking

window. In Premiere, it looks like this.

Much nicer. Show command containing cut

or addedit. Every software calls it

different. The keyboard shortcut for

splitting clips in Vegas Pro is the S

key. No way. That's what I use in

Premiere. Wait, it's actually the S key.

It is. So, if I press play and click S,

probably it's going to add a cut right

here where this line is. No, it actually

adds a cut where the playhead is. So, I

do have to stop it from playing to add a

cut. But when I stop it, it teleports

back here. Very interesting. What's a

trimmer? Seems to be empty. I'm not sure

what I'm doing. There's transitions,

media generator, video effects. Okay,

let's focus on the audio. The actual

waveform is super small there. So I want

to somehow increase it. Can I right

click? Audio event effects. Tempo

detection. Ooh, there's beat detection.

Open in audio editor. There is no audio

editor specified in preferences. So

wait, would it just open another

program? Open in trimmer. Oh, now it

opens. What is the trimmer? I seem to be

scrolling through my entire clip here.

Or if I click and drag add to timeline

from cursor. Oh, okay. So this is like

media selection. Very interesting. How

do I adjust the gain of this audio?

Normalize audio. Right click on the

audio clip, select switches, normalize.

Right click, switches, normalize. Boom.

Beautiful. I want to also figure out

whether these yellow things because I

keep adding them, but I'm not sure how

to remove them. Loop region. Oh, it's

going to loop playback across this

entire thing. Nope. Wait, I found

something. Let's ignore the yellow

things. Instead of using the space bar

to stop playback, press the enter key.

This may prevent the playhead from

jumping back. So, if I don't want it, I

can click enter. Unfortunately, enter is

on the wrong side of the keyboard

because I like to have all my keyboard

shortcuts on the left side so that I

don't have to move my mouse hand over to

the keyboard to press it because it

wastes a lot of time. But I can actually

do that. So there is an option. Okay,

you can set up custom keyboard shortcuts

for more precise timeline navigation and

playback control. So maybe I can set it

to a different keyboard shortcut, for

example, space. Do Q and W keys exist? Q

enables loop playback in Premiere. If I

click Q, it's going to delete everything

that's to the left of my playhead and

move everything that's to the right into

its place. So Q, you'll notice that this

entire section got deleted and then this

moved into its place. And the W key does

the opposite. It cuts off the ending. So

if there were a cut here, and I wanted

to delete this part and move everything

that's to the right into its place, I

can click here and do W and it's gone.

So I wonder if that exists in Vegas Pro

as well. It can be done using the trim

start and trim end commands. Trim start,

press alt and open left bracket. So if

it's here and I press alt right bracket,

whoops, alt left bracket. It just

removed the end, but it didn't move

everything else to the left. I have to

get my mouse exactly on this thing here,

which kind of is a problem because half

of the time I'm just going to grab the

clip and accidentally move the clip. I

have to be exactly on this line in order

to move the playhead. In Premiere, I can

just click anywhere here and it moves

it. But having it here over the clip

makes it so I risk grabbing the clip

instead. Can I move it from here? Maybe.

Ooh, but it's so black. I can't even see

it. So S to split. Wait, why doesn't it

split? Now it splits. And so now alt

bracket. Oh, it just cuts it out, but it

doesn't close this gap. That's horrible.

Ensure ripple editing is enabled if you

want subsequent clips to adjust

automatically. Auto ripple. Ctrl L. So I

select this. Oh, now this is red. Oh,

that's why I can't split. If I have this

selected and press S, it doesn't do

anything. I have to release, then cut,

and then pick it back up and move it

somewhere else. That's just a time

waster. Here, I can hold it and click S

as many times as I want, and it splits

the clip under the playhead. Okay, this

is really not good. Over hundreds of

hours of editing, this would cause so

much problems and waste a bunch of time.

So, now if I want to delete this, ooh,

it automatically ripple deletes. Okay,

but the playhead behavior is insanely

weird. Okay. So, let's actually come

here and try to cut up this audio. Oh,

wow. The zooming in is really just

something that I'm not used to. Can I

make it select the clip that's under my

playhead? Because I have to click an

extra time to select the clip and then

one more time to split. That's an extra

unnecessary click. If working with

multiple tracks, enable targeting for

specific video and audio layers. This

ensures that pressing a keyboard

shortcut like D selects all clips under

the playhead on target tracks. So, is

there no way to make it select

automatically? and is the keyboard

shortcut D. Oh, that cycles between

three tools. What are these tools

actually? Envelope edit tool used to

add, delete, select or move envelope

points without moving events. Many words

there. Selection tool and the zoom tool.

So presumably drag left. Oh no, it's a

selection. Oh, you can zoom in a lot

into the audio. Okay, this is not

enabled by default in Premiere. A little

quick tip here. If you want to zoom in

more into your audio in Premiere, you

can come here to this hamburger menu and

click show audio time units. Now you can

zoom in a lot more. Look at how tiny

that audio wave is. Speaking of tips, if

you want to learn how to edit videos in

Premiere, actually how to make videos

for YouTube that people actually want to

watch. Check out my YouTube course, the

1 hour YouTuber. I'll leave a link

below. One useful thing that I always do

is remap my delete key to the F key

because delete is on the other side of

the keyboard. So I don't have to let go

of my mouse and move my hand to the

keyboard to hit delete. Delete. Wait,

which one is it? So how do I set a

keyboard shortcut? Do I double click?

Wait, it's here on the right side. So

delete. Click on this F and add. And

click on this and remove. Oh, never

mind. Wow, this is not the most

intuitive interface. So now I want to

remove the F key from all of these ones

from the trimmer and mixing console. Or

maybe not. So F. Does it delete? Oh, yes

it does. Okay. Wait, why does it say

Vegas there? Is it in my video? Is that

a watermark? What if I move somewhere

else in the video? Yes, there's Vegas

here. What is it doing there? Or is it

just telling me that this is a

lowquality preview? But it's already

telling me that here. So why would I

need to know on the video itself? It's

nice that I can zoom in with my mouse

scroll wheel and move by clicking the

scroll wheel. Wait, how do I fit it to

the screen? Bypass zoom. Oh, there it

is. Ctrl Alt ShiftB. Good to know.

Anyway, let's continue editing. Use the

shortcut control shift D to trim

everything after the playhead. So if I

want to trim off this end, control shift

D. Oh, that just added a blue border

around my video. Ctrl + Z. That doesn't

undo it. Control shift D. Interesting.

Oh, when I make my timeline larger, it

actually makes the tracks larger as

well. Oh, this is my actual timeline

now. How do I make the tracks smaller?

Oh, or I can drag here on the left and

they become larger. Okay. Wow, the

timeline navigation. It's really

screwing with my brain. My muscle memory

tells me to pick this up and move it.

That's impossible. And it also tells me

that when I press space, the playhead

will stop there, but it actually goes

back. On top of that, zooming in and out

centers everything on the screen. So, I

constantly lose track of where

everything is. Maybe that's just a

matter of getting used to. Oh, that's

why I've been struggling. When I click

here, I have to let go of my mouse so it

teleports here, and only then I can pick

it up and drag. If I click and drag, it

starts selecting. So, it's another extra

mouse click. I have to teleport the

playhead here, click on it and then move

it. Because if I just do click and drag,

it doesn't actually move it here. And if

I click and drag here, it moves the

actual clip because if you bought a high

refresh rate

monitor, Windows will when this makes no

sense. You can cut and ripple by make

sure ripple is enabled and make sure to

select the appropriate ripple mode via

the drop-own menu. Wait, what are the

different ripple modes? So, I only have

one track. I'll just select everything

and alt open bracket. Oh, it works.

Okay, let's remap it to Q and W keys. I

should probably not be changing a bunch

of keyboard shortcuts when trying out a

completely new software that I'm trying

to get used to. I'm changing it anyway.

Let's look for trim start. There we go.

Trim end. So, let's replace this with W.

I'm happy to see that Vegas Pro has a

bunch of keyboard shortcuts that seem

useful. Let's see if Ws. W. Oh, it does.

Beautiful. Oh, and these duplicate.

Okay. Okay. So this is the original

shortcut. It leaves it in place, but it

just adds another one. So now Q should

do this. And also alt open bracket

should also do it. Ooh. So that's nice.

I can now quickly trim up this audio.

Well, not as quickly as in

Premiere. Oh, it doesn't split when I'm

holding the playhead. Yes, of course. I

wasn't realizing what's making me angry

this whole time. See here, I made a

mistake. Even the mouse cursor. You

should start. So, I want to cut out this

part, but if the playhead jumps back,

then I'm not really sure where to cut,

even the mouse cursor. Boom. This is

where I want to cut. Now, I just have to

try to guess. That's why I don't like

this behavior. Okay, the audio has been

completed. I just need to move this clip

to the beginning. Wo, what is happening?

Oh, yeah. What do these do? Is this the

loudness level? Yes, it is. Okay. And

what is this? Is this opacity? Maybe.

Oh, yes, it is. So, I can set how

visible my clip is. That is nice. So,

select then pick up and drag. Yes. And

there's snapping enabled, so it snaps

nicely together. Beautiful. Okay, so so

far it's only the playhead navigation

that's not optimal. So the next thing I

typically do when I have the audio

tightly cut like this is add a bunch of

zoomins into my videos because look at

how tiny the video is. Some people watch

it on their phones, so it's hard to see

and it also makes the video a lot more

engaging. So normally in Premiere, I

would select all of these clips and nest

them together to make it one single

clip. That way I can add a bunch of key

frames and zoom in and out. Let's see if

we can nest clips in Vegas Pro. Forgot

the software name for a second. Oh, how

do I select only the video? Is it

control shift? Oh, it's shift. Or is it?

I'm not sure. Right click. Create sub

clip. Sounds pretty close to nest. I

don't think that's what happened. Select

the events you want for your nested

timeline. I'm pretty sure that events

are just clips inside of Vegas Pro.

Click the create nested timeline button

on the timeline toolbar. Ooh, the

toolbar. Lock event prevents the

selected events from moving along the

timeline. Oh, wait. So, I can lock just

one thing. Yes. Ooh, I'm pretty sure

this doesn't exist in Premiere. I can

only lock the entire track, not

individual clips. That's interesting.

Automatic crossfades. Control shift X.

Let's try to add those to my audio.

Control shift X. Are they on there? Oh,

yes, they are. Right over here. It fades

out the end of one audio clip and fades

in the other one, which is exactly what

I want. Alt C. It should be Alt C. Alt

C. Oh, it's asking me to save it as a

new file. Oh, it's rendering. So, is it

now on my desktop? Yes, it is here. So,

this is now my nested timeline, I think.

Where's the one that's not nested? What

even is this? Okay, what if I double

click on this one? Oh, it added it here.

Wait, what is happening? Why are there

two timelines? Did it just insert this

one into the nested one? Let's delete. I

am confused. Okay, so what if I close

Vegas Pro? Oh, look at all of the files

here. And then what if I open my

original one, which is this one. Yes or

no? Start trial version. How fast does

it open? Uh, okay. Faster than Premiere.

Warning, an error occurred while loading

the project file. Yes or no. Vegas. Item

not found. Details. A nested project

source media file was not found in

desktop. Wait, what do you mean? Oh,

what just happened? And now it's one

clip. Okay. So, can I doubleclick inside

of here to go into the nested sequence?

No. It just creates a new file,

completely new thing. So now if I want,

how can I extract what's inside of

there? Or is it just one clip forever

now? As if I rendered it out. This is

the one that's supposed to have all of

my separate clips. So double click. But

it now adds it as one entire thing. What

is going on? So what if I open that one?

The yes or no untitled timeline. Oh, now

it has separate clips. Interesting. So

do I have to have both of them open

somehow? Add to project media. Open

project item was not found. Okay. Say

now I decide to delete these three here.

Save it and then open this one. Does it

become shorter? Wait, I don't know. Did

it become shorter? How do I see how long

this is? Oh, 47 seconds. And this one is

31 seconds. So, no, it didn't update in

my original one. And now I can't undo.

Big mistake. So, I'm not sure how nested

sequences work in this software. Maybe

it's because of this error. It's not

updating. So, wait. Let's open the

nested project. Then, let's nest five of

these clips. Oh, create a nested

timeline. It wasn't here before when I

tried to do it. An error occurred while

loading the project. What is going on?

So, I can't switch between my nested

sequences like here in the timeline. I

have to open a separate project in

Premiere. If I nest some clips, I can

just doubleclick here and it opens

what's inside. And I can switch to my

original sequence here. And if I want to

go into my nested sequence over here.

So, if I delete these two clips, close

the nested sequence. You can see that

now there's nothing here inside of this

clip because there's nothing here inside

of it. And I can undo however many times

I want. It just adds the nested sequence

here in my project panel, but it doesn't

actually create a new separate Premiere

file. And the typical project that I

work on usually has around probably 200

nested sequences. So that would be 200

extra files like this, each with their

own set of baby files that it creates or

I just didn't get how it works. So now,

how do I get back to my original clip

positioning? Switch between parent and

nested timelines. Click open parent

timeline button in the timeline toolbar.

Is this it? Open nest the timeline. Yes,

but it's different. This one is 29

seconds. And then if I open the parent,

this one is 47 seconds. Maybe this shows

the time where my playhead is. Oh, yes

it does. So if I move it to the end

here, then go to nested sequence. It's

29 seconds here and it's 47 here. So

they're not even the same. And it keeps

giving me these errors here. Changes you

make in the nested timeline will

automatically be reflected in the nested

timeline event on the parent timeline.

Yes, that's how it should work. Is there

an autosave here or a history thing

where I can restore everything? Oh,

wait. Detect scenes and split. No, wait,

that works. Yeah, it didn't work. Okay,

I can still work with this without

having the separate clips because it's

just easy to add those cuts. But I still

want to know how nested sequences work.

Now, there are a bunch of errors

everywhere. And this is a nested

sequence. I'm afraid that it's going to

randomly update to what's inside of it

to this shorter sequence. Or maybe my

original one isn't positioned at 0 0. It

may be the same length. So here it's

3819 and inside of the nest it's 29.

Never mind. What if I save this one and

then go back? Warning. An error occurred

while creating something. Item not

found. I am beyond confused right now.

Why does it need to render them? And

what is going on? So what if I just try

to export this as a separate file and

ignore that anything ever happened with

nested sequences? Because I'm afraid

this will turn into that nested sequence

that doesn't have a bunch of these clips

and it's going to screw everything over.

File render as render options. So, how

can I insert a custom resolution? If I

select this customize template,

beautiful. And so, is there a one button

click that would match what's in my

sequence to what it's going to export

as? Probably not. Let's do that

manually. Oh, you can see a bunch more

things. Premiere just shows you the

progress bar and occasionally crashes.

Okay, I like this. Oh, and it's showing

there what part it's rendering. And

there's the video. Wait, there's

something wrong with this video.

Something did happen to the original for

sure. Over here, I say, "Send this to

your friend if they bought a new

monitor." "Send this to your friend if

they just bought a new monitor." And at

the beginning, I say the same thing.

"Send this to your friend if they just

bought a new monitor." So, I did

something that duplicated the clip over

here, probably inside of the nested

sequence. But this looks even worse.

What is even this? You'll notice how

smooth it becomes right away. Wait,

what? This is also entirely different.

So, I think instead of trying to recover

this, I'm just going to yeet all of this

into the trash and re-edit the video

again. Oh, 69 items carefully planned

and

scripted. Now, there's one thing I want

to do over here, and it's to extend this

clip and move all of the other clips to

the right. I can do this pretty easily

in Premiere. If I want to extend this

clip, but make sure that it doesn't cut

into this clip, I can hold control and

then just extend it. and it moves that

other clip to the right. I'm sure I can

definitely do this here as well. Just

need to figure out how. Split trim.

Maybe this is it. Oh, it splits here and

then lets me trim one of the clips and

then when I release it, ripple deletes.

Wait, I was doing this completely the

wrong way. If I duplicate this, can I

alt drag to duplicate? Let's just cr. So

now if the audio is playing, I can just

click here and do this. Oh, but now I

can't move the playhead anywhere. I have

to switch back to the normal edit tool.

Okay, maybe not, but there's definitely

potential

here. So, if I want to extend the end of

this clip, I have to move the left side

to extend it on the right. What? So,

what if my clip is super long? For

example, here, if I zoom in a lot, then

to extend it right here, I would have to

scroll back to the beginning and then

hold alt and extend it like this. I

would have thought you would want to do

that on the ending itself. Nevertheless,

let's now copy all of this. Paste it in

as backup. Oh, forgot to save this

actually. Main thing. And let's try to

nest all of this. Create a nested

timeline. Yes. Okay. It does a bunch of

stuff. Now I can go back with this

button here. Oh, I'm not sure why it

glued everything together, but this

seems to be a nested sequence. So now if

I go inside of it and delete half of

these clips and then go back and so this

clip didn't become shorter. What? Oh, so

if you delete something inside of a

nested sequence and if the original clip

is longer, it just plays it back again,

whatever's inside the nested sequence.

So essentially, I should be able to just

drag this out forever and it loops

everything. So that's what was happening

before. Okay. And so probably this

little blip here is an indication where

it ends. If I cut it here and move

everything to the right, now this thing

is 17 seconds long. And if I go inside

of it, it should be also 17 seconds

long. Ooh, it is. I'm very happy it

shows where it starts looping, though,

because if it didn't, that would have

been bad. So, there we have the nested

sequence. Let's delete it and also

delete it from the desktop. Now, which

of these files can I even delete? All of

them. It's open in Vegas Pro. Try again.

Oh, just got a random ad. Save and

upgrade now to Vegas Pro 365. Free

trials are cool. Full subscriptions are

cooler. What is this? Well, this just

makes it seem like a scam. Let's open it

again. The following file could not be

found in the specified location. Ignore

all missing files and leave them

offline. Okay. So, where do I see what's

imported into my actual file? Is it

project media? Oh, yeah. So, if I just

delete it from here, then maybe just

delete. Boom. Now, it's gone. So, what I

saw before was explorer and project

media is actually what's inside my

project. So, it doesn't seem like Vegas

Pro has such a thing as multiple

sequences in the same project. It just

creates multiple projects for each video

that you're working on. In Premiere, you

can have multiple sequences. So, I can

work on five different videos inside of

the same project. Interesting. In the

beginning here, I want a nice subtle

zoom in as I'm talking. So, how would I

do that? I don't see any place to add

key frames or an effects panel. Oh,

video output effects. Applies video

effects to all video events in your

project. Oh, there are a bunch of

effects here. Linear blur, lens flare,

levels. That's not what I'm looking for.

Oh, I just applied something. I

think this seems to be working pretty

fast. Either way, how do I now remove

this? Do I uncheck? Wait, let's change

something to see if it unchecks. Oh, so

maybe select and delete or right click

and delete. Interesting. What is this?

Two columns, three columns. Just

increases the size of the window. So,

where do I see all of the effects that

are on the clip? Maybe here. This opens

the same thing. Okay. Oh, that's a

different panel. Video event effects.

Here are a bunch of coordinates. And

down here it seems like these are key

frames. Oh, this is like a completely

separate window that lets me add key

frames. Why is it not a part of the same

interface? So, say now I want to

slightly zoom into the middle here. I

will position my playhead here. Add a

key frame. Probably this one. It adds a

key frame on position. But I also want

zoom as well. But how do I also add a

key frame for zoom? Not just position.

Oh, I can't seem to drag the number to

increase it. Just these little arrows

here that I can click. Look at how thick

they are. And nothing seems to be

changing. Oh, I can actually grab the

screen. It's just grabbing the F logo.

And something else is happening. Ooh.

So, is this what I'm actually seeing in

the video? If I put this over my mouse

cursor, it just slightly moves the

screen, but it doesn't actually zoom in.

It does zoom in, but less. Oh, zoom

percentage. Wait, this is just the

workspace. So, rotating this rotates my

actual video in there, but just a little

less for some reason. Now I put it

upside down, but this rotated by like

30, maybe 40°. To rotate it more than

360°, I have to spin this circle a bunch

of times. How do I reset all of the

effects? What if I close this? I'm not

sure if this is how I'm supposed to be

doing it, but that's a very weird panel.

Oh, you can freeze frame at cursor.

That's very useful. There seem to be a

bunch of features in this program, but

everything has weird usability issues.

Why are there things opening up as

separate windows instead of in the main

program? At least I hope there's a

keyboard shortcut to open this panel and

I don't have to click effects every

time. Oh, wait. It's not even showing

the same thing. Wait a minute. If I move

my playhead here, will it still show the

first frame of this clip? It does. So,

how do I reset this? Oh, I just clicked

on pen and crop and it reset. No, it

didn't reset. Maybe I just delete the

key frame. Oh, it's gone. Good. But what

if I want to reset some of these values

to the default ones? What if I set this

to 25 something? And now I don't want to

reset everything by deleting this key

frame. I want to just reset the height.

There's a slider. Double click the

slider. Oh, you doubleclick the slider.

One thing I really like about Premiere,

and you can do this in most Adobe

programs, you just hover over the number

and drag and it increases. And drag left

and it decreases. That's beautiful. And

this arrow, of course, resets back to

default. Let's make this bigger and

actually try to zoom in. There's no way

the process of simply zooming in is that

difficult here, right? Why do I do it

with this F thing instead of actually

moving my video? I guess to be able to

see where I am. Why would I want to see

that? Can I play the video from here?

No. So, okay. Let's see where I want to

start zooming in. Just got yourself a

new f. Oh, it's already zooming in.

Right here. When I say fancy. So, I have

to click this effects button for this

one. Then add a key frame here. Oh, when

I click it, also moves my playhead.

Interesting behavior. Wait, it's really

horrible behavior because if I want to

have multiple zoomins on the same nested

sequence, that's just going to be

impossible. Wait. Whoops. Just a billion

windows opened. So, I add a key frame

here. Then move five frames to the

right. Can I do it with my arrow keys? 1

2 3 4 5. Add another key frame. Oh, that

doesn't work. Move this over. Oh, see

that's the problem with the jumping

playhead. I position it where I want the

key frame to be. But then as soon as I

pick up the key frame and try to move it

there, the playhead just decides to

psych. You now don't know where to put

me. So now I move to this key frame,

select it, and now say I want to

slightly zoom in. So I make this smaller

and put it in the middle. Or I enable

this so it centers. Okay, how does this

actually look like? If you just got

yourself a new fancy gaming monitor,

make sure that's what I had to do to add

a simple zoom in. That is bad. In

Premiere, I select the clip. If I have

some other panel selected, I toggle the

panel with a keyboard shortcut. Add

scale and position key frames, move 10

frames to the right, and just zoom in

like this. Boom. Easy as that. It still

could be a lot faster. Please add

keyboard shortcuts to automatically add

key frames for both position and scale

at the same time. That would be amazing

because now you have to do it manually

by clicking these buttons here. But

that's 10,000 times faster than what you

have to do in Vegas Pro. And if I want

to move it, I just pick it up and move

it somewhere else. Not a single software

that I've tried, Final Cut Pro, Da Vinci

Resolve or Cap Cut or Vegas Pro allows

me to do it this fast. So, let's hope

there's another way than through this

effects panel. Actually, let's do a

little bit of Googling. Yeah. So, it

seems like you actually do it with this

F letter. And there doesn't seem to be a

way to set the zoom amount by typing in

a number like here width and height. You

just have to I guess guess the zoom by

looking at the letter F and this

rectangle. And since I can't really

preview my video from here, this is just

key frames. I can't press play. Every

time I want to adjust the timing of

these key frames, I will have to go out

here, find that place in the sequence

because this play head here is not the

same one that's here. These are two

separate ones. So, if I position this

one here, this one actually just stays

at the beginning. Doesn't even care. In

Premiere, if I move this here and go

into the effect controls panel, you'll

notice that both playheads move. So,

whatever is selected here is the exact

same spot as here. Which means that when

I'm adding key frames, I can very easily

adjust the timing of this clip here

where I can zoom in a lot and I see the

audio waveform. And then over here, I

can zoom in and drag these key frames to

the playhead. And since they're the

same, the key frames will start exactly

here. This causes a problem when you

want to adjust key frames because say I

want to put them right over here. How do

I know where over here is inside of this

panel? I will have to look for it with

this playhead without having any idea

where this is. The only way I can tell

when the timing is good to do a zoom in

is by looking at the audio waveform

which is nowhere to be found here. Oh, I

said I was going to make this entire

video here. I'm starting to regret that

decision. Doing the zoomins will require

some persistence. Sync cursor. There was

a setting here that syncs the playhead.

So if I move it here, you can see that

it moves on the timeline as well. That

makes much more sense. Now it's going to

be a lot easier, I feel like, because

here I can find a place where I want to

add a key frame and then go into effects

and this playhead will already be in the

same spot. Beautiful. So let me do the

zoomins for this entire

video. Okay, I added a cut here and now

I want to reset key frames so that this

isn't zoomed in. The way I would do that

in Premiere, if I add a cut here, and I

want to reset these, I would have to

click here to disable key frames

essentially. And then these two arrows

would reset the zoom amount back to

default. Maybe I just click on this. Did

it

reset? Clicking here does nothing, it

seems like. What is this? Delete key

frame. I don't want to delete anything.

Do I right click and remove key frames

somehow? Will I have to drag this back

out? Doesn't let me drag anything. Do I

have some setting that locks everything?

But this doesn't seem to be

it. To reset all key frames on a clip in

Vegas Pro, select the clip, go to the

effect controls, right click on one of

the key frames, and select select all.

Then press delete to remove all the key

frames at once. Select the clip. Go to

effect controls. Right click on key

frames. Doesn't seem to have select all.

Restore. Nothing happened. Center. Flip

horizontal. Why is nothing at all

happening? Maybe let's close the

program. Surely that's not going to fix

it. Try to resize. Oh, really? Was that

just a bug? So, if I right click and

restore, it restores the original

position. And then I can select these

key frames or only this one for some

reason. Delete. Nope, doesn't delete.

Let's pretend nothing happened. So, now

does this jump back out? Fancy gaming

monitor. Make sure that before. Okay,

that's good. I mean, right click and

reset isn't as bad as in Premiere

because you have to click on both of

these icons here. So this then you would

have to click okay or just enter this

enter and then these arrows to reset. So

this might even be faster just right

clicking and reset. I would love if

there was an easier way to reset all the

key frames on a clip in Premiere. I'm

going to remap space to controll enter

so that my playhead doesn't teleport

back when I press space. That's just so

bad. I don't know why would that be

useful. So it's called pause. Continue.

Enter. Wait, what is this? Cursor to

center backslash. What if I press

backslash? No clue what that does. Why

does control backspace not work? When

you press controll backspace, it deletes

an entire word. So instead of doing it

one at a time, I usually do control

backspace, but here it just inserts a

bunch of rectangles. Premiere has this

issue as well. There's now a button at

the bottom of the preview screen that

changes clicking the space bar to pause

rather than stop. This option was in

preferences on previous versions. Oh,

there's a toggle. Boom. I start

playback. I pause. Yes, I'm liking this

more and more. Let's continue with the

zoomins. Oh, Vegas Pro has stopped

working. Well, great. Do not send. Will

it automatically recover what I just

did? No, it will not. Good to know. So,

CtrlS will have to ingrain itself into

my muscle memory every time I make a

change. Not like it's that different in

Premiere, but Premiere has autosave. I

hope Vegas Pro also has autosave. Is

there a keyboard shortcut to open this

panel? Event pan and crop tools. video

video event pan and crop. Okay, shift X.

To customize explorer, you must use

control or alt. Okay, Alt X. And so, Alt

X doesn't do anything. There's explorer

and global. Maybe I set it on global.

Alt X. Yes, that's very useful. I don't

want to click this little tiny button

every time I want to open this panel.

Cool, cool, cool. Making progress. Does

Ctrl W close it? No. What if I do Alt

F4? Oh, that just closes the entire

project. So, how do I close this panel

here without clicking on the X every

single time? Hold control to dock

window. Wait, it can go inside of the

program. Make it bigger. Zoom out a

little bit. Now, that's progress, ladies

and mental

gen. Okay, right now at this moment, I

need guides. Essentially, when I want to

zoom into something, ideally, if that

thing is already visible on the screen,

so for example, now I want to zoom in

into advanced display. I would want that

thing to not change its position on the

screen. So before the zoom in, it's

right here where these blue lines are.

And after the zoom in, I don't want to

position it there or there. I want to

position it in the exact same place

because that makes it much easier to

watch the video. Look at this. Now it's

going to zoom into advanced display. And

since it stayed on the same place on the

screen where you were already about to

look, that makes it so you don't have to

look for where to look. You were already

looking in the same place. But if I were

to do it like this. So move the advanced

display somewhere there in the corner.

Now you know that you want to look here

because in the video I'm talking about

clicking on advanced display and my

mouse cursor also moves here. So your

eyes are over here. And look what

happens when I zoom in. Weirdly you're

now looking here and nothing is

happening here. So that's why I need

guides so I know where you're looking

before I start zooming in. So that after

the zoom in I can position that thing in

the exact same place. Your eye muscles

don't even have to do any work. I wonder

if these exist here. So, they probably

should exist in this panel because this

is where I am zooming in. I see

something that's similar here. Displays

graphical overlays in the video preview

and trimmer windows to help you perform

visual alignment. Oh, can I change

these? There's a grid. So, it doesn't

seem like I can control this grid. Like

here, I can place these wherever I want.

Ideally, I would love to be able to

control both of them at the same time

because now I have to drag one and then

the other. When I was trying Final Cut

Pro, I installed some sort of a plugin

that let me do this, and that's a

massive timesaver. Just having a dot

here that connects both guides, that

would be amazing. But I think I can

still work with this grid here. It's not

as versatile as guides. There's a grid

in the program window, not exactly a

ruler, and can't be adjusted, but it's a

good guide, not the best guide. You can

always add another track above your text

layers. Add in a transparent background.

Fill a line with dashes or underscores

and slide it up and down with pan crop.

Not elegant but effective. Oh, so it

doesn't actually exist. Okay, let's try

working with the grid. Oh, Vegas Pro has

stopped working. This is now happening a

little too frequently, which is scary.

Premiere definitely doesn't crash as

much. Probably like once or twice a

project. Oh, and it also reset my

keyboard shortcuts. Really? Wait, if I

quit Vegas Pro, all of these get reset.

There's no way. Quit. Open. Okay, it

leaves the settings on. It would be much

easier if this grid was not here, but it

was here. So, advanced displays above

this line here. And when I move it,

okay, it needs to move a little to the

right. So, move this F here to the left.

Okay. Previous key frame control left.

Wait, does Premiere have previous and

next key frame keyboard shortcuts? I'm

pretty sure it doesn't. Did I not know

such a thing exists? Go to your keyboard

shortcuts and search for go to next key

frame. Go to next marker. Edit point.

Edit point on any track doesn't seem to

exist. If this exists in Premiere, I

would like to find out about it. So,

next key frame is control right in Vegas

Pro and previous is controll left. Beep

beep beep beep. Okay. So, that makes it

easy to check with the guides whether

I'm zooming into the correct spot. Now,

choose a refresh rate is in this

rectangle here. So, I go right. Oh, and

it moved up a little bit. So, now I can

move this up like

so. Oh, wait. It adds these cross

dissolves automatically. If I add a cut,

boom, it's already there. That is great.

How did I toggle this on before? It was

some automatic setting here. But now

once I have it enabled and I split the

clip, it automatically fades it out.

That's really

useful. How do I remove this cut that I

added here? If I add a cut, can I not

get rid of it? Event heel is really good

as suggested by Walter Walter White. But

there are other ways. There should be

event heal here. Oh, so I have to select

both clips and event heal. In Premiere,

if there are a bunch of cuts, I can just

select a cut and delete and it removes

it if the clip was continuous.

Okay, it's so annoying not being able to

start the playback of the video when

this panel is selected, the one with the

F key. I have to click on the timeline

and then click space to preview what I

did. I feel like I'm slowly getting the

hang of how this works. There are some

things I don't like. The first one is

resetting key frames. If you want to

reset them, you have to delete the first

key frame and then replace it with a

full frame key frame. So that requires a

bunch of mouse clicks and stuff. For

example, if I want to reset key frames

from this, I'd have to alt X to toggle

this window for this specific clip. Then

say it was zoomed in right here and I

want to reset it back. I have to

rightclick, restore, then select this

first key frame, then delete it, and

move this one to the beginning. That's

how I reset the position and scale,

which is not the fastest way of doing

it. Wait, I could go to the beginning,

select this, and then restore. Okay,

that is faster. Maybe I don't even need

to go there. Maybe I can right click and

restore. No, but nevertheless, here's

how the video looks

likely. Set it to 60 Hz. And you might

not even realize this if you've been

playing it. Bravo going dark. Why is the

audio meter there? I have a suspicion

that we just crashed. That mouse cursor

is not a good sign. And not responding.

So Vegas does have a crashing problem,

that's for sure. And I wasn't really

doing anything intensive, just playing

back the video, which is 960x 540. So

that's very low resolution. I just went

to make a cup of coffee and it doesn't

seem to be recovering. Premiere Pro

usually recovers from this kind of

stress, but Vegas seems to go into a

downward spiral, which is not ideal. I

really hope there is autosave for this

program. Microsoft Windows. Oh, the

application is not responding. The

program may respond again if you wait.

What are the odds it actually responds?

Probably the same as winning the

lottery. So, let's close the program.

Please don't lose all my progress. I'm

going to flip if that happens. Do a back

flip. I

meant it lost the progress. There's no

way I didn't save it. So, I guess let's

redo everything or everything from up

until here. Oh, I've been recreating the

zoomins, redoing everything, and it

crashed again. You have to be kidding

me. I thought it was maybe because I had

Premiere open before, but now I have

just Vegas, OBS, and a Notepad. This is

really bad. Maybe because the sequence

is 4K, but why? Why would it crash? And

the worst part is it doesn't uncrash.

It's just not responding for eternity.

Okay, so I don't think I'm going to be

finishing this video even. I'm just over

it. This is just horrible. And if I open

it again, it resets everything further

back. It doesn't matter if I save it or

not. It just resets it anyway. Zoom in

and out with key frames. That's done.

Remove green screen. Ooh, haven't done

this yet. Let's find a little video with

a green screen. Actually, I think I

already have it. There we go. I have

this cat with a green screen. So, let's

drag it in. Beautiful. Look at this cat

enjoying itself. Apply chroma key. Go to

video effects panel. Search for chroma

key and drag it onto the video clip.

Okay. Effects panel is this one. Roma.

Wait, how do I search this? Is there no

search functionality in this menu? Go to

video effects. Oh, this is video event

effects. Video event effects. Explore

transitions. Oh, there's a way to

preview transitions by hovering over

them just like in Da Vinci Resolve. I

like this a lot. Premiere doesn't have

this

feature. Anyway, let's not get

sidetracked. Green

screen. Oh, it should be inside of all

plugins and then chroma key. Do I click

this one to add another one? Chroma key.

There it is. If I type something here,

maybe slash chroma. No. So, aren't

effects searchable? Because this video

has search plugins over there. And for

me, this window doesn't have a search

bar. Either way, let's double click or

maybe drag it onto the cat video. That

doesn't work. Okay. Oh, now chroma key

appears over here. That is interesting.

So, here I have pan and crop if I want

to zoom in or out. And here I have

chroma key. So, effects stack

horizontally. Here I can choose the

color and it's gone. Beautiful. These

seem like pretty good settings for

configuring the green screen. So I'm

going to knock it off the list. Guides.

We already did guides. Well, it was a

grid, but still. Adjustment layers. Do

they exist in Vegas Pro? Essentially, an

adjustment layer is just an empty layer

on top of something else. And when you

add effects to this layer, for example,

if I add some blur, everything that's

underneath this layer becomes blurry. So

if I disable it, this video isn't

actually blurry. it just affects

everything that's underneath. Why would

that be useful? Is if I have multiple

videos that I want to make blurry at the

same time. I can just slap an adjustment

layer on top and I'm good to go. Create

a new video track. Right click on the

timeline and select insert video track.

Okay. Right click, insert video track or

control shift Q. Of course, we do it

with the keyboard shortcut. How do I

remove tracks? Delete track. There you

go. Apply effects to the track. Oh, so

it's not an adjustment layer. It's an

entire track that has effects. Track

effects. What if I do something like

deform? Why is this panel white just

randomly? And what if I do some

deformation? Nothing seems to be

happening. Enable composite mode. Drag

the composite tab in the track effects

window to the beginning of the effect

chain. So like this. Oh, now my video is

transformed. But now everything in my

sequence is transformed. What if I want

to transform only these two clips?

Method two, using adjustment events.

Right click on the timeline and select

insert adjustment event. Wait, now I

want to remove this here. Do I just

delete deform or deselect it? Insert

adjustment event. Oo, so this must be an

adjustment layer. Okay, now if I

position this across both of these

clips. What was that? Something weird is

happening. It's probably because I have

the ripple trim selected. So now let's

click this one to add effects. And let's

add some rays. Why is it white again?

Just perfectly matches everything. Oh,

and there are already rays on my video.

I can change their position. But either

way, this is on the adjustment layer. If

I move the adjustment layer away now,

the clips underneath don't have these

rays. So, that is beautiful. Switch

panels with keyboard shortcuts. Ooh, I

can already toggle the effects panel

with Alt X. And that's mostly all that I

need. Maybe this panel would also be

useful, the video event effects, but I'm

going to say that it's possible to do

that. The basic stuff, keyboard

shortcuts for trimming clips, they

exist. Audio normalization exists

compressor. So probably I can set

effects for this entire track as well.

This is like the audio track mixer in

Premiere where essentially you can do

something across the entire track, not

just for individual clips. That's

useful. Track effects. Oh, another panel

to deal with. There's track EQ. Okay.

Are there presets? Okay, there are some

presets. Let's boost the high

frequencies. See how that sounds. Make

sure to come here and select the Not too

good. Does double click reset? Oh, it

disables the point entirely. So, why is

it so inconsistent with light and dark

mode? Half of this program is just

blazing light into my eyes and half of

it is actual dark mode. Track

compressor. There we go. Presets. 2:1

compression starting at minus 18 dB.

That sounds like a decent preset. Inside

of choose a refresh rate, make sure you

have the highest one selected. Boom. I

have to say that was pretty easy to do.

I wanted the playhead to stop playing

after I move it. That didn't happen. The

program needs to be fast. I think

Premiere is faster. Well, if you

consider the constant crashing, then

Premiere is definitely faster because

Vegas Pro just randomly resets you back

30 minutes. So, I'm going to say this

didn't happen as well. Was I able to

change sequence settings? Yes. Crop

transform. I haven't tried cropping yet,

but probably it's here. Ooh, there are

different tools that appeared. There's

the pen tool, the rectangle tool. Okay,

let's just draw a mask. And boom. Great

production quality. And I can create key

frames for the mask. So what if I create

another mask here? What happens in

between these two key frames? It just

appears over there. So I probably have

to move these points. And now it's going

to change over time, right? Oh, there it

goes. Okay. So cropping exists. And I

can also do a rectangular mask. There we

go. And I can control it easily. Okay.

Let's poke around and explore what more

cool things you can do here. Because the

only thing I really care about when

editing videos is speed. I'm looking for

the fastest way to achieve things that I

want. And my editing style is very

simple. It's just screen recordings with

a bunch of zoomins and some screen

positioning to make sure that the viewer

doesn't lose track of where to look.

That makes the video more enjoyable to

watch. But there are other types of

video editors. Maybe they care about

more fancy stuff like effects for

instance. So, I want to explore that

category as well. Oh, I just found an

easier way to crop. In the effects

panel, if I have this selected, it will

zoom in or out. when I resize this F

key. But if I have this lock aspect

ratio deselected, it will actually crop.

That is much easier than I was doing

before with the mask. Okay. No way. It

has a bunch of interesting transitions.

What is this one? Do I select two clips

and drag it on? There we go. And I can

control it. The amount of squares

transparency. Ooh. Windows will

automatically set it to 60 Hz. And you

might not even realize what just

happened. Now, what am I looking at here

on the timeline? And where is the actual

transition? Is this it? I'm not sure

what's going on right now. Let's undo

this. So, the transition was supposed to

be here. Maybe I didn't drag it right.

Can I drag it in the middle? Oh, you

have to get it exactly on the line.

Okay. And what is this? Do I Vegas Pro

has stopped working? I'm ending this

video. Psych. I'm not ending it. I have

one more crash in me. And of course, it

resets everything. There are a bunch of

transitions in Vegas, and by the looks

of it, they're pretty customizable.

Let's do this one. Slide in bottom up.

Boink. Oh, there's the transition. Oh,

and these are clips overlapping each

other. So, instead of showing a

transition thing, it shows both clips.

So, this clip now ends right there. And

this clip ends right here. Okay. So, if

I shrink this. Oh, not sure what's

happening. Maybe I need to deselect the

ripple delete. Yes. Okay. And shrink

that. So, it's going to happen pretty

fast. Get

ready. Okay. Is this customizable? Yes,

it is. Angle, direction, border.

Increase the border. Oh, I really like

the ability to customize transitions.

Transitions aren't the strong side of

Premiere. I would love for them to add a

feature to create custom transitions,

actual transitions that you can change

the length of instead of just effect

presets that just apply key frames. And

you have to change the length manually.

I'm not sure if this exists in Vegas

though. Just feature suggestion I guess.

And I can go into transition properties

directly from here. Ooh, now that is

good. Really good. In Premiere, if I

have a transition and I double click

inside of it, it sets the duration,

which I usually never want because I can

adjust it like this. And to customize

this transition, I have to go into the

effect controls panel. As you can see,

there's not much to customize. This is

just the placement of the transition.

And I can increase the length. Let's see

this one. And do I delete it by just no.

Is it in the right click menu?

Transition progress. Ooh, I can

customize the transition curve. So, the

velocity of it here. I'm not sure how to

Oh, there you go. So, what happens if I

put it in the middle? Will it just jump

into the transition? Yes. Okay. Smooth

fade, sharp fade, linear. Oh, and it

changes the velocity curve. That is very

interesting. You can't really do this in

Premiere for most transitions. Or can

you? So, how do I now remove this

transition? It's not delete because it

deletes the entire clip. Is it

backspace? No. Oh, if I double click it,

selects it like this. Delete. Now, this

clip is slightly extended. So, if I

bring it back, never mind. If I cut here

and then bring everything that's to the

right into its place. By the way, is

there a track forward select tool? In

Premiere, I can hit A and select

everything that's to the right of my

mouse and move all of the clips. Place

your cursor at the point in the timeline

where you want to start selecting

events. Hold down shift and click on the

first event in the track. Shift and

click. Did it select? No. This doesn't

seem to be working or I'm doing

something

incorrectly. Oh, never mind. I found it.

It's right click and select all after

cursor and then I can choose select

tracks. Okay, everything's selected to

the right. Very nice. Oh yes, text. I

haven't tried adding text yet. Ooh, and

there are a bunch of presets. Look, this

one is writing itself on the screen. I

like that. Drag it in. Good evening.

There's the animation settings. Scale.

Show me how it looks like. That's a

great animation. Premiere doesn't have

this. There's text color. Oh, the color

picker goes off screen. I have to resize

this panel down. Then scroll down and

then click here to Oh, maybe it actually

looks like that. Oh, yes it does. I

thought it was cut off at the bottom.

Where's comic sands? There you go.

Beautiful text. And if I play it, it

should write itself on the screen. Okay,

this is pretty slow. Turtle speed. I can

choose the animation from here. But what

if I want it to happen faster? Can I

customize it here? No. Oh, wait. If I

make it faster, like super fast. This is

the limit, I think. And then extend the

ending like this. I think it will write

fast still, but the text will expand.

Oh, never mind. It loops everything. So,

I do need to freeze the frame. But how?

Freeze frame at cursor. Okay, I had to

click this little three dot arrow.

Boink. Now, I should be able to extend

this all the way, right? Yes. Beautiful.

So, text seems to be pretty good.

There's so many different transitions.

The classic page peel. Oh, it does a

backflip. That's next level PowerPoint

there. And I can set favorites. Solid

color. I can drag in a solid color here.

Can I change it? Yes, I can. Beautiful.

Lava. What's lava? Does it just create

lava? Wo wo. What just happened? I

dragged this lava here and now it fades

across these two clips. Hold on. It does

that automatically. Yes, it just created

a transition. Wait, let's delete lava.

If I drag puffy clouds and overlap these

two clips, it's going to automatically

add a transition there. That's different

than in Premiere. In Premiere, if you

drag a clip over another clip, that clip

just gets eaten alive. Interesting. So,

you can just create lava. I mean, I

don't know why this would be useful, but

that's awesome. I can probably also

animate this. Yes, there are key frames.

So, if I add a key frame onto offset and

move back and change the offset, the

lava should be moving. Let's check out

this

lava. Okay, there's blood cells. Why

would anyone need this? Microscopic

threads. Lightning. Ooh, this one looks

cool. Chalk scribbles. Oh, yes. It

creates a bunch of transitions. Now, it

will go from lava to this one to white.

Okay. Wo, interesting. I like when video

editing softwares add a little bit of

their own flavor. Something that you

probably won't use, but look, you can

add lava here. That is nice. Fancy

wooden board. No way. I can control the

board. What? So, this is like a

gradient. Oh, something happened. Look

at these tiny buttons here. I can barely

see them. But yeah, you can add a fancy

wooden board. Good to know. I think Da

Vinci Resolve had a bunch of cool things

like this as well that you can just

insert. Wasn't there like fire or

something? Okay, they have some decent

text animations. Well, except this one

probably. I feel like I'm using

Microsoft Word and the fancy text there.

Remember that from back in the day?

Wait, let me search for this. Oh, look

at these. Doesn't this scream nostalgia?

Maybe I'm giving this program a little

too much hate because I've been using

Premiere for over 5 years to make

hundreds and hundreds of videos. So, I'm

incredibly familiar with it. And using

something different tells my brain that

it's bad. I feel like I could get used

to most of this, but some aspects are

just faster about Premiere. like when

it's playing, I can't pick up the

playhead and move it somewhere else. It

moves this thing. So, I have to click

space and it would usually teleport it

back here, but I had this setting

enabled here. So, I have to move it,

then hit space. In Premiere, it's just

one click, and there's no way to get

around it that I found. Or resetting key

frames. It could be a lot easier to do,

not just in Vegas, but in Premiere as

well. The only thing that I wouldn't be

able to get used to is the crashing

obviously and maybe nested sequences

because I usually create a bunch of

nested sequences and Vegas creates a new

project file for every nested sequence.

So my file explorer would get crowded

really fast. Oh, look, the end credits

and end the video. That's funny.
