Worth Every Penny [Posted on 2008-07-24]
I have been looking for good training material on Vegas Pro 8 and this one turned out to be a nice reference. It's not enough by itself but it's definitely a good start, I also strongly recommend Vegas Pro 8 Editing Workshop by Douglas Spotted Eagle to go along with this. It's a great companion.

If you are planning to get SCVU (Sony Certified Vegas User) certificate, you will need this book.

Considerably Better than Sony Vegas 8 manual - Essential [Posted on 2008-08-04]
This training course is absolutely essential if you have never used Sony Vegas before. I've used Pinnacle for years, but operations are just done a lot differently in Vegas -- not at all intuitive in my opinion. I should have given this product 4 stars, but I cannot change it now. It is written in the same style as the booklet that comes with Sony Vegas Pro 8. There is a training CD that comes with the 160 page sprial bound 8.5X11 inch book. I have only gone through a portion of the training program, and I learned how to do a lot of things that would have been intuitive in Pinnacle. Unfortunately, they devote a whopping three and a half pages to rendering!! I wanted about 30 pages on rendering! You won't learn anything on rendering that you can find on your own by pulling down the menus and experimenting to see what happens. I want to know the significance of each parameter -- what the features are. Does it make things better or worse? Sony just does not understand how to write informative instruction manuals on things that matter the most -- extreme detail on cut and paste, but next to nothing on rendering options.
