!!!!NOTICE!!!!! as 2021 Movie Studio 18 is no longer based on VEGAS Pro and does not reflect the tutorials and recommendations of earlier versions. I recommend VEGAS Pro if you're currently enjoying this software as presented in this video.
It amazes me how often I come to your channel to get the nudge I need. Thanks for all your hard work! For example, I found myself questioning the "Manage project" files button on a new project. Since I create a folder for all my projects with a "ProjectFiles" folder and a "SourceFiles" folder in it, thanks to this video, I'm clear that clicking "Manage project files" isn't necessary.
I'm super beginner to this and I said uuhhhhh along your video when you did something cool and I can follow that lol Your teaching style is nice and easy to follow. Thank you for your work!
I'm working with double monitors. I'd like to be able to watch my playback on the second monitor but can't find the option of where to do that? Do you know? I was using Movie Studio 13, so I've upgraded to 17 and can't figure this out...Thx
AVCHD setting would be if you are using a camcorder tape and changing it to digital format. is that correct? can you do a video showing how to copy vhs with Movie Studio 17 Platinum. is that possible?
@@TechDiveAVCLUB , your welcome, i felt kinda funny to say anything about the audio, because i don't know the first thing a bout editing, so i don't feel so bad now, thanks for your reply!
Hello, I need help! I'm trying to render a 4hr music video on Studio 17 Platinum. Every time the render completes, the video plays 3 to 5 minutes, and then it stops. It will not play the rest of the video. What am I doing wrong?? Thank you for any help.
I have an incredibly frustrating problem. Everything works in the program. I just rendered a project, and in the rendering, the background music seems muted. ALL the other audio tracks are functional but the that one. It is not muted. Just to clarify, that track plays perfectly in the studio editing mode and then goes silent in rendering. What do you think is the problem?
Thank you for the helpful and easy to follow instructions. I have a question concerning how to import videos from an old Panasonic P2HD camera. The video and audio files among others are saved in several folders. So, the downloaded data is always in a CONTENTS folder and a separate LASTCLIP file. I think the P2 files are-code named MXF. Does VEGAS Video Studio 17 Platinum software work with such files? If yes, how do I go about importing these files? Thanks again for your instructional video.
Hey man great vid, I have a question: What's the difference between the platinum and normal version? And do you know about the steam edition? is the steam edition the same as If I bought it from the sony vegas website? Thanks
not separate meaning leave connected? Yes make sure the "ignore event groupings" button is off. You can group anything not grouped by highlighting events and pressing "g"
@@TechDiveAVCLUB my question was not clear you are right :) By "not separate" , i mean : not in 2 separate channels (or tracks) . Is this possible to have the video and the audio of this video in the same channel or track when you drop the video in the timeline ? Thanks
So before starting to officially create my video project I need to edit the clips down. I understand how to do that. Would I open each one (shorten), and then render each one, before dragging them back in? I just want to know the simplest way possible. Also, AWESOME video!!! THANK YOU!
whenever you add media it shows up at the top and each time you split a video it treats the split like another video so now you have 2, you split it makes 3, then 4 and so on and so forth. but that slows down the program and i have to wait a few seconds to avoid lagging. is that something that can be fixed? movie studio 16 didn't do that and things were smooth and fast. a few seconds isn't bad but having used 16.0 for 3 years, 17.0 is painfully slow in comparison.
@@TechDiveAVCLUB Thanx for the replay....its the 2. time i hear about "adding vfx" Don't get me wrong, I work with Vegas (pro & MS) for about 20 years now, but I don't know how to manually re-install them....but i will find out ;-)
So I used to use version 16 weekly and 17 rarely, but after a recent update I feel like a noob all over again. When I add a photo to a new empty layer, it is somehow Grouped with my second video clip and the two slide in tandem when I try to position the photo to the right time. The weird part is if I drag the video clip, only it moves and not the photo. I tried Ungrouping them but the video clip still slides with the above photo. Is this something you've experienced and might know which setting I need to toggle to move the photo independently of any other clip? I don't think I've ever changed any layering properties from their defaults.
Hey nevermind, found it, lol. I just had to disable Auto-Ripple then the track layers stopped moving in tandem. Which is still slightly frustrating because I've always had that ON for convenience and I never had that problem before the latest update.
Hey buddy I have just subscribed I like your videos. I am new to editing but I pretty much know what I need BUT.. this is probably a dumb question but how can I just drop a simple picture onto the screen? I can add text etc no problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to just add a .jpg and be able to move it around and resize etc. It is so so simple but I don't know why there is no obvious button like.. Add image , for example. Is there an easy way? *** i can add it but it just slaps it right over the video and doesn't allow me to resize it as you would expect. there are no handles.
@@TechDiveAVCLUB Thanks mate I've sorted it now. I must admit, they probably could have done with making it a little more straightforward to drop a pic in and move it around but it is what it is.
2 questions. Can you use Gopro for film footage? I recorded my music on Presonus Studio One. Will I be able to combine the two to make a music video with this software? Thank you in advance for your answer.
How well does this program utilize the PC hardware? I have a very powerful PC that is barely being use in Magix Movie Edit Pro 2020, I am looking for something that will use my CPU (R9 3950x) and GPU (RX 5700xt) for rendering and exporting...unlike Movie Edit Pro 2020 ☹️
Hi! :) Please! I have no idea how to stop my movie from rolling on..although the audio is over (finished).... After pics have been shown..my video continues to roll in black (no more pics). Thanks in advance! :)
Moving things like text seems to work differently for me, I can only move it so far before it disappears behind an invisible border around the screen. Even if video is perfectly visable where I want the text to go, the text itself just slides under the border never to be seen again. It's happened to me consistently for years on every single version of MS I've ever used, I'm sure I must have missed something basic here.
This is so back to front. All I want to know in the beginning is how to separate the two tracks so you can add photographs but not alter the audio. At the moment if I break into the visual track it breaks into the audio track and I don't want it to. How do I do that? It's most basic part of editing on the timeline, and I don't all these transitions and other stuff you're talking about.
I Completely agree. I made 10 videos in 4 days That week all in the same template where i pre mixed the audio and i got this one messed up somehow 😟and didn't catch it
@@TechDiveAVCLUB they said they can't help me with my plugin issues. It's frustrating to buy products now and you can never talk to a human with any technical issues.

Yeah i made 10 videos at one time and i think i swapped the tracks on this one... The irony being I'm teaching editing. It hurts, but it's a reminded to myself not to skip the little checks.
I feeel I waste my money on this program... there is no simple edits... no one shows edits with out adding other edits at the same time.... what happen to the old days of mark mark delete.... mark mark fade.... sad .....
s to cut, simply drag the corner to fade or drag the middle to trim. I feel it can't get any simpler. You can use I and o to mark in and out points and use the delete key to delete highlighted portions if you prefer.
@@TechDiveAVCLUB good to know, btw I'm thinking of upgrading to this software to edit my videos, but you also mentioned that if you add pictures they could make the entire videodisplay smaller, but I want to add some which are purposefully smaller, is that gonna cause problems?
@@thisisntmedicine4004 no it won't be a problem. I just meant that adding things of different resolutions is something you need to keep in mind incase you need to resize it to match
