Introduction
Today, DSLRs have reached a state of convergence where they are able to take high resolution/megapixel still images and high definition video (720p and/or 1080p). While it is convenient to have video capabilities on DSLR, it is often a problem trying to process video files as most photographers are only well versed in (still) image processing using familiar editing softwares like Adobe Photoshop. Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum software has everything needed to produce spectacular HD movies. Edit video in nearly any format including HDV and AVCHD. Powerful features for video compositing, color correction, and soundtrack creation help you get feature-film results in your home studio. In this workshop, we introduce you to a Non-Linear Editing video solution which is easy to use and simplifies the workflow.
