1. Enroll now: Hello everyone. My
name is Nathan and welcome to my course
here on Skillshare. This course will help you learn everything you need to know about Sony Vegas 17.18 Pro. I'll teach you all the basics as well as other advanced
tips and tricks. Now why should you
learn from me? Well, I've been a
video editor using Sony Vegas for around
ten years now. I was a part of the
video production team for the movie AM radio, as well as the lead
editor on the TV shows, Cafe Conversations
and bloom today. I was also part of
the Mr. B's gaming editing team for
almost two years. I also run a YouTube channel
called Nathan Johnson, where I teach tons of tips
and tricks on Sony Vegas. So make sure to check that
out after the course. Anyways, I hope to
see you guys in the next part of the
course and happy editing.
2. Software Interface: Hello everyone and welcome
to my Skillshare course while we are showing you
the basics of Sony Vegas, as well as many advanced
tips and tricks. In this first tutorial,
I'll be showing you the software
interface and how to interact around with it
and just the basics on that. So to start out in
the top left here, you're going to see
File Edit, View, Insert tools option, and help. These little tabs up
here. These are the types of tabs that you're
gonna be doing with documents and
type of stuff. You can use these
tools and options. And this, when you get over
to the right side here, these are more
advanced features. What you are gonna be worrying
about is edit and file. So file, when you go to create a project,
you have new there. You have opened for
opening a project. And then you have your
save and save as button. So if I click Save as I
can save it to a file. We go back here. You can screen capture. I can extract audio from a CD
if you are living in 1968. And these are some of my projects from
down here that I can open properties, everything
like that, edit, you can undo and redo from here, navigate all this kinda stuff again so that into the future. Okay, now if we move
down a little bit, this box, this is Project media. As you can see down
here, I can select between these six tabs. So this is project media. This is where you
will see all of your projects in the media
that goes into them. So the videos and all
that kinda stuff. When I drag and drop a
video onto the timeline, it will pop up right here. Now if I move over Explorer, this is just exploring
your desktop so you can get files, transitions. It's exactly what it seems
like. It's transitions. These are all the
effects you can use. All the transitions you
can use very easily. Pretty big selection here. And then there's more
effects down here. And this is third-party if
you import some effects. Now if you go over to video
effects, the fourth tab, these are all the effects you can use on the video itself, not just adding on this, you can turn your
video black and white. You can color change
at better, whatever. Then if you go over
to media generators, this is your stuff
like titles and text. You can get your
titles and texts preset and you can
get backgrounds. So as you can see, I can
put these over my video and these are also
captioned or credit roles. So if I were to make a movie, color gradient, again, put
this over top, solid color. These are your solid pillars
and you can change these. Once you drag them
onto your timeline, you can change these
for different colors. And these are
background type things, test patterns as they're
just glitch screens and then more stuff down here
and then project notes. This is just to add notes. And I have never touched this in my ten years of
editing, so, yeah. Now, if we move over
to the right side, this is your preview screen. So when you're over
something in the timeline, you will pop up on
your preview screen. Now, above the previous screen, you'll see a lot of things. And the main thing you
want to focus on here is this right in the middle
here, this little drop-down. So if you click on that, this is what you're
previewing the video. And now if you're on
a very good computer, I suggest you go to Best full, and this will make
the quality or video the best possible
in the preview. Now, if you're on
a little bit of a worst computer,
good half, maybe. If you're on a bad computer, I suggest you go to
draft and a quarter. This will make it
very pixelated. You'll be able to
see it, but it will not affect the rendering. Rendering is
completely separate. This is just how
you're viewing it. Personally. I go on preview half just to make things run a
little bit smoother. Now, you can also
change the presets using the settings
of your whole video. I'll cover that in a future
video in the course. And then if you go over
this, save it file, save chefs snapshot
the file and make a different video on that
later on in the course. Copy snapshot the clipboard. And yeah, that's
it for this one. Now, if you go over to the
right of the preview window, this is your master audio. Now with the master audio, it'll just basically show the decibels on all the
audio coming into it. And you can raise and lower,
according to a union, this will raise and lower your entire projects audio and it will render and then
the way you do it. So if you turn it all the
way up and it's blasting, it will render just like
that. So be careful. Now if you come down to the timeline, this
is what matters. So this is where you can
drag and drop clips. And the way you can
navigate around this is if you want to
just slide it around, you can just grab it down here. If you want to go
in a slow motion type thing and hear the audio, you can grab it at this
white little knob up here. That is basically the timeline. And then down here
you have your record for recording your
audio playback. And this is all
you're playing stuff. So you can go to the end, the previous frame, and you can use these to move
between frames right here. And then this is
your editing tool. So this is what you
want to worry about. So this is your
normal editing tool. I can just click on things. If you go like this, you can use different
types of things. So there's a split trim tool for me to just click on
something to split it. And there's all sorts of tools that we can cover in the future. And another thing you use quite a bit is this
little box right here. It's called selection Edit tool. If you click on it, you can then highlight a certain amount of your videos and then drag
them around accordingly. That is the software interface. That is a software interface
for Sony Vegas Pro. 17.18. 18 will be
pretty similar. But this for 17, also 18, you know the drill. And let's get onto the
next video in the course.
3. How To Create Project & Add Media: Now I'll be showing
you how to create the project and add
media to that project. So first off, we want
to create our project. You can go up to File New. And it'll pop up a
screen right here. So you're gonna see a lot of settings and I'll
help you on this. Width should be 1920s, height should be 1080. If you are making a YouTube
video or just a normal video, as long as it's not any other type of video
like a movie or something. It should just be 1920 by 1080. Field Order. Non-progressive,
progressive scan. Leave these two alone. Change
the FPS probably to 60, but if you want to
lower, you can go lower. It doesn't really
matter that much. Full and then you wanna
skip everything else. Go down to full
resolution rendering quality chains good to best, and then go down
to resample mode. Change smart sample to
disabled re-sample. And that is it. Create your project. Boom. Then to change these settings, you can go up above the
preview window right here. And it will pop the settings and you can change
them and apply it. And then we want to save this project so
you can control S, save or go to File Save As. And we can go test
Skillshare. Boom. And now it has saved the file and we can open
it in the future. Now, how do we add
videos to our timeline? Very, very simple. So let me pull up
a folder really quick interview and boom, I can drag, I can literally just have the folder right
here and drag it down. Now, you will run
into some issues. I can guarantee you
that there's this file right here is a Da
Vinci resolve video file. Obviously, I cannot
drag it down because it is not a supported
file for Vegas. It shows the x and that means you cannot drag
it onto the timeline. There's no way to get it
in unless you convert the file into an MP4 or MOV. Sometimes MOV files
won't even work. So I suggest just using MP4. Now, you can drag that
down onto your timeline. Click know when that pops up. That is basically asking if you want to change
the resolution, and obviously you do not want
to change the resolution. Now once you have
this video down, I'm going to show you
how to navigate this. I did show you how
to navigate it so you can slide
this around or you can use this to hear the
audio before the backwards. But what you want
to be able to know is the audio and the video. So you can see the video on
top, audio on the bottom. You can split these up by
doing control you like so. And now they are split up. I can just do Control Z to
put that back into place. Now, if you want to add
audience at the bottom, you can right-click
on your mouse. Click Insert Audio Track. It inserts an audio track. If you want to insert
a video track on top, you do insert video track, boom, track on top. Like so. And now I can go like that.
I could go like that. I can add on the bottom,
I can add on top. And that is how you can navigate around your Vegas Studio here. So that is how you can add in all that kinda stuff,
create your project. And to pair these
two back together, you can do control and control mixture of both
highlighted click G, and now they're back together. So yeah, see you guys
on the next video.
4. How To Cut & Delete Footage: Now I'll be covering
how to cut and delete footage here and
Sony Vegas 17 or 18. This is gonna be very simple. So you're going to find the spot that you want to cut by dragging this wherever you want it to
be or playing it like so. Let's say I want to
cut it right here. I'm going to click S. I'm gonna click S. And that
will create a split. Now once you have this split, you can decide if you want to
delete either one of these. But let's say you don't want
to delete this portion, but you want this middle
portion to bleed to be deleted. So then you can
split right here. And that'll create this segment right here that you don't want. Then you can hit the Delete
key on your keyboard, or you can right-click and
click Delete right here. I suggest using the delete
key on your keyboard. It's on the right
side, right next to N, and it's above your arrow keys. Once you have this, you can
drag this all the way here. So then you have your
video cut right there. Now, if you want to
go more in depth, you can fade these
together just like so. And another way to get rid
of footage is you can come to the front or back of media. And you can have
this little window, this little thing pop
up on your mouse. It's bringing it either way. And when this pops
up, you can see the arrow and the little
line right there. We'll go the way that you
want it to go. Just like so. And you can use this to
extend or delete footage. And that is how you cut and delete footage on your timeline.
5. How To Crop A Video: Now I'll be showing you
how to crop your video. So let's say that you
want this interview video to be Xun zoomed in a little more because it's a
little bit panned out. So we're going to want to do is go to this little
tab right here, right next to the fx, and it's gonna be
a little square. You got to click that. And it's going to
pop up this window. Once you have this
window popped up, you're going to see it
complete separate timeline. You don't really want to worry
about this timeline other than make sure this is unlocked. So make sure this is
not selected in blue. You got to make sure it's
unlocked and make sure you are clicked over top of this
little tab right here. You can move this around. This is your key points. Make sure you're
selected on that. And then you are
going to zoom this in just like so wherever
you'd like it to be. And then vagus is a
little different. So if you want it to go, if you want to zoom
right, you go left. If you want a Zoom
left, you go right. It's a little bit of
a weird thing there. So now that we are fully zoomed in to where
we'd want to be. Boom, okay. Then we can just simply click X. There's no need to
save a little pointer. When you're in your project, you can do Control S to save. And you can just test video. You can just save it like so. And then while you're
doing your project, I suggest you click Control save every once in a while
so you don't lose your media or you can go up
to File Save or File Save As. So that is how you, That is how you zoom in and out.
6. How To Add Basic & Custom Transitions: Now that you've
got everything cut and zoomed into what
you want it to be. I'm gonna be showing
you how to add a custom and basic transitions. For beginners, I just
suggest basic transitions, but if you want to go a
little more advanced, I will be showing you how to
do a little more advanced. So to do a quick little
basic transition, I can zoom in right here, and I can just bring this clip over top and
it will create a fade. As you can see, it fades and I can make it as long as I want. So it fades slowly and this causes the audio
and the video to fade. So the audio will slow down
and raise for the next video. Now let's bring that back. Over here in the top-left. This little tab right
here, you're in a C6. Different things
go to transitions. And you're gonna get this
huge array of transitions. You can pick whatever
one you like. I'm just gonna do the simple
one just for the test. And you want to
bring this down and drag it right where
the cut happened. And that will bring this up. You don't have to
mess with this. Usually it's okay,
you can click X. And now when I go over,
this is a nice transition. Now if you want to go a
little bit more advanced, obviously you can
see this transition. It has black underneath of it. So what I can do is I
can go find an image. So I'll find very quickly, I have this picture
of Tom Brady. And I can put this underneath. The transition
will do its thing, but instead of having
a black screen, it has the image underneath. And it goes like so, it looks a little more clean if you have a good
image underneath, like let's say this guy is
wearing in basketball jersey. You can put a picture
of him playing basketball under the transit,
under the transition. And boom, looks a lot cleaner. And now into a more
advanced transition. So let's make another
quick cut right here. Cut right here, delete,
bring this right here. So we have a transition spot. If I go over here and I
create new video track, you right-click,
insert video check. You can do this
for audio as well. Right-click Audio Track. And I can cut right about here. Cut that. And I can raise
this up and over. And then I can put
this audio down here, and I can put this over top of that transition or
of the previous clip. So then you have an effect
where it goes into this. You can't really
tell the difference, but you can see that his chin
is at a different angle. But what this does is it keeps the audio from the last
clip and then it brings the visual of the next clip
adding a cool effect where the video will
come first while the audio is still from
the previous clip. This is how you can get into
more advanced transitions. And later in tutorial, I will be showing
you how to go into more advanced transitions
with the pen slash crop tool. So let's get into the next one.
7. How To Flip Or Mirror Any Video Clip: Okay. This is how to flip or mirror your video clip in
Vegas, 17 or 18. So here's the video that we had cropped in a previous segment. And you're gonna go into the event pants less
crop like usual. And it's very simple. You're just going
to make sure you're selected over this
little tab right here. And then you're going to
right-click right here. And you can flip horizontal. Flip that back, or you
can flip vertical. So he's upside down and a boom. Perfect. Yeah. That is how
you flip your video. And Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
8. How To Speed Up Or Slow Down Footage: This is how to speed up or
slow down your video clips. And Sony Vegas 17 or 18 Pro. So you're gonna find
your video clip. I'm just going to cut out
a segment right here. And this is a segment
we're going to use. Actually let me cut out
a segment where he's actually talking so
we can kinda see, okay, he's talking right here. Let's cut out this segment. We'll delete that clip just like I showed in one
of the past tutorials. And you're going to hold down the key on your keyboard
that says CTRL, or also known as control. You're going to hold that down and hold this and
drag it either way. If you drag it to
be a longer video, it's gonna be slowed down. So as you can see,
that slowed down, you can slow this down
all the way up to 25%. And then if you bring it in
to make it a shorter video, you can speed it up all
the way up to 400%. Now let's bet up. And you can see this little percentage sign right
here at the bottom. And if you want to go back to
zero or go back to normal, you make it just 100% and boom. And to know that
you're doing this correctly when you do so, you will see these little lines. And the longer lines means
it's being slowed down and the shorter wavelength lines
means it's being sped up. So let's bring it back
to 100%. And boom.
9. How To Zoom In And Out Slowly: This is how you can
zoom in and out slowly. And Sony Vegas 17 or 18 Pro. So you're going to
find your video clip. For instance, we're
gonna be using this one. You're going to click on
this little box right here, the pan, the event
Pantzlaff crop you're gonna be going into here. And this is where we start to use this little
timeline right here. So if we want to zoom in, you're going to keep this
little tab right here. And you're going to drag
your little selector to the point you want
it to be zoomed into. Now, you're going to take this
point and you are going to zoom it in just like so to the point where you
want it to be zoomed in. And now that you have this
starter one right here, that's at full resolution, and this little tab that says you're
zoomed in resolution, it will now slowly
zoom in like so, rather than a quick cut, which sometimes look sloppy. So then you can slowly
zoom in like so. And to do this in a
more advanced way, you can right-click, make
it smooth on this one. And then on the first one, you can right-click,
make it fast. And now it will be more of a
smooth and fast transition. So it doesn't look as choppy. And if you would want to
do this in a fast way, where you can do
is your first one. You take, you take this one that's play
zoomed in, you copy it. You are here, you paste it. And then you're going to
actually over, correct. So you're gonna go
in over, correct. So now when you zoom in, it looks more of
like a fast zoom in. And it looks a lot more clean than if just like
zooming in quickly. So if we were to do this a little bit more quick,
maybe go like this. This is when it looks better,
you want to over correct? When you're doing quick
things like that. So then it doesn't
look sloppy, like so. And that is how you can
zoom in your clips slowly.
10. How To Capture Photos From The Video: This is how you can
capture photos from your timeline in Sony
Vegas Pro 17 or 18. So you're going to find the exact frame that you
want to capture from. We're going to hover
over the frame. So this is, let's
just say this is the one and make sure it's
selected up on your preview. You're going to come
up here and click this little blue icon that
says Save snapshot to file. You're going to click
that. Make sure you're in the right place. So my instance, I'm
going to save it to my documents and I can
name it, Test snap shot. And usually it will
bring it up into your media file for you to
just drag and drop this photo. And now we have a complete
snapshot of that exact frame. And you can use this
in certain instances. Instances when you're editing
to add a cool effect.
11. How To Add Text and Captions Into The Video: This is how you can add
texts or captions into your vegas Pro 17 or 18 video. So first thing
you're gonna wanna do is go up to media generators. It's just little tab right
here next to Video Effects. Then you're gonna go up to the top-left book titles and text. And usually you just want
to use the default font. You're going to bring that down. And then you're going
to say whatever text. Now, once you're in this
little tab right here, you can move the text around
just on the screen here. I'm going to move it down into the bottom as if
we're using captions. And this is how you
can use captions. And I will show you a very
efficient way to do captions. So let's just say these are, and then I'll put
captions in the next one. So let's lower this and
let's put it at this point. These are, and then we're going to mess around with
the font really quick. So you can highlight this. You have to highlight the text. We're going to make that bigger. And then we're
gonna go down here. You can use text color and you can make it
whatever color you'd like. You can scale it, which
is just making it bigger, just like you can in
the preview window. Advanced. Not really much going on there. And outline is what you
really want to focus on. So if you want to
use a black outline, that is why I like to
use for my captions. Go down here, select black, make that online bigger. And now you can see in the
preview window that there is a black outline on the words. You can also add shadow, just like so, and mess
around with that. Now there's a nice
shadow under the texts. Make the blur a little
bigger. Boom, Perfect. Now, to do this in
an efficient way, you can click on this. Do control C to copy or just right-click and copy
and then you can paste it. This will make the text
and the exact same spot. And then you're gonna go
in here and you can edit the text and it will keep
all of your presets. So let's say you're using
captions, you can just do that. These are captions. Make a little clear. So these are captions. Perfect. And you can mess around with
these effects just like so, a little bit of
transition on it. These are captions, perfect. And that is how you use
captions and texts. And Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
12. How To Add Watermark Or Logo In Any Video: This is how you can add a
watermark or logo into a video. So we're gonna be using
this little segment here, and we're actually
going to be creating another video track, swimming with a logo on it. And I have this GTA five m logo that I'll
be putting on here. Actually, I'll have to get
a different logo because that does not have
a clear background. So here's a logo for
a YouTube channel. Like so. You're gonna go into your event, pan and crop, and you
can crop this down. And we're just going to put
it dead center in the middle here for better visibility. And once you have it down there, you can see it,
there's your logo. You can put this in the corner or you can do whatever with it. Now, what you can do is
you can lower the opacity. And now you can see through it. This is where you'd
put it in the corner. And you can just mess around with it until you have
the opacity that you like. Maybe you just want a
very slim watermark. Just like so. Just showing that this
is your video and no one else can use it,
stuff like that. So that is how you can add a logo or watermark
into your video. And you can use this
with text or anything.
13. How To Add Video Effects: This is how you can add a
video effect onto your video. And Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18. So you're going to want
to go up into the top here and click Video
Effects right here. And you can go
through any of these. We blur. It can be black and white. We're going be doing black
and white for this tutorial. So all you're gonna do is you're going to
find your effect. You're going to select it,
drag it down onto the video, and boom, it's, uh, it's added. Another way you can
do this is you can click on the Effects
tab right here. And it'll bring up this list. And maybe I want to
do Gaussian blur. And now the video is blurred, and then I can adjust it
using these settings. You can use this
with any effects. You find in this tab. Literally anything. Film
effect, very old film. I can adjust this and make it look a
little more reasonable. Just like so. And now it looks
like an old film. Perfect. And that is how you can add a video effects
into your project, is Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
14. How To Color Correct And Video: Now I'll be showing you
how to color correct, in Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18. So as you can see, this clip here is very dull and it doesn't
have a lot of color, so we can easily fix that. So what you're gonna
wanna do is go down to your Effects tab right
here, event affects. Click on that. And there are multiple
things you can use. I suggest using, Let's see
here, brightness and contrast. You can use this to
up the contrast. This is the first
one you want to use and you can also
use the brightness. I don't suggest using that though because it makes
it a little too right. But the contrast adds a little
more depth to the video. So once you have
this, you can go, you can click on that and it will give you this list again. One, I'm going to click
Color Corrector, add. Okay, and it'll bring
me up to this menu. And now I can use saturation, which will bring up the color. I am bringing all the way up to really weird looking vibrant. Or I can bring it all the
way down to black and white. It's usually left at
starting off here. So I'd recommend bringing
it up to the middle. And now this looks a
little bit better. I can do a lot more work on
that to make it look better. But now it has color. Looks great compared to this. It makes it look a lot better. So that is how you
color, correct. And Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
15. How To Add Background Music: Now I'll be showing you how
to add background music into your Sony Vegas 17
or 18 and project. So I'm going to grab
some background music. I have some copyright free ones. So I have some height
background music right here, and I can just drag and
drop it into an audio. Now, most of the time you won't have another
audio tab down here. So what you wanna do, Let's say these don't exist. Let's say these don't exist. You can right-click,
Insert Audio Track. Easy-peasy. You can also just drag and drop
it down here and it'll add an audio
track on its own. You can also change
the color over here of the audio track to make it
better fit for your needs. And now you can play
over this and you can hear, you can hear the music. So that is how you add background
music to your project. And Sony Vegas 17 or 18.
16. How To Fade Video & Audio: Now I'll be showing you how
to fade at your video and audio and Sony
Vegas Pro 17 or 18. So we're going to be fading this music to
start out right here. You're going to see
these two little tabs in the corners and go
right up to this, not at the top of the video, but read the close to the top. You're gonna, it's gonna pop up this little triangle
looking thing. And you're just going
to hold that down and pull it over and you're
going to see it a line, and that line corresponds
with the audio. So at the beginning
it starts at zero, and at the end it finishes
off with the full audio. Now, you can also
adjust the gain. The full audio is lowered, so then it fades in to them. The audio decimal
that you've chosen. So you can see and now fades in. Instead of just going like that. And once this line
is changed, you, you're going to
have to find a line and then bring it over. Perfect. With video. It is
the same concept, but we're gonna go to
this clip top corner, fade that n. Actually it's
selected as something else, but we can just fade
that in our case, there's a transition
there, but we can just get rid of that transition. Get rid of that transition boom. And now it's just faded in. Actually this isn't a good video to test on because
we're just using that, but you can fade it
in just like so. It's given us some trouble. You can unselect that to him. Alright, there we go. Now it's fading in like so. Mute that. Now, once you have a
transition selected, make sure you unselected because it will then
correspond to all of them. I added those transitions over here and now corresponds
to all of them. So it makes sure
to unselect those. But now it will fade in. And that is how you
fade audio and video. And Sony Bass Pro 17 or 18.
17. How To Raise & Lower Volume At Any Point With Audio Points: This is how you can
raise and lower volume at any point
with audio points. So we're going to be using this music track as an example. Let's make sure that
gain is turned up. And once you have this selected, you're going to press
V on your keyboard. It's going to bring up
this line right here. I'm going to make this bigger. But once you have
this line here, you can raise this up and down. This will control the volume. And you can double-click
to make a point. As you can see right
there, there's a point and then you can double-click it and other spots make a point. If you'd want to
lower the volume at this section right here, you can make four points. Boom, you can lower that. Emits. Light, goes back up. If you click V to get rid of it, it will stay the same. Then you click V again to
show it again. And boom. You can also just do
this to lower things. So I just lowered it
for that section. Now it's back up to normal. And that is how you can lower at any point
with audio points.
18. How To Convert Any Video To MP4: This is how you can convert
any video into an MP3. And Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18. So let's say you have
your video right here. It is a video with an
audio clip obviously. So what you're gonna do is
you're going to press Control, hold Control and press U. This will unbind these two. And then you can
delete the video clip and it leaves the
audio clip by itself. Then you can go ahead and
render this as an MP3, or you can just use this
in the rest of your video. Let's say if I downloaded a video from YouTube
that had music in it, I could then keep the audio track from
that YouTube video and delete the actual visual
and then have that music go underneath the
video I'm working with. So that is how you can easily
turn a video into an MP3. And Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
19. How To Mute, Solo & Control Separate Audio Tracks: This is how you can
mute solo and control separate audio tracks here
and Sony Vegas 17 or 18 Pro. So on this side panel here, you can see all these
little tabs and whatever. And this is how you
can control them. So if you want to
solo something, that means that will be
the only audio playing. You can also do this for
video clips if you have to line up over
top of each other. Let's say I have this clip
lined up over this clip. Obviously this clip is
on top of this clip, but if I solo this, it will mute this
track basically, and it will solo this. But if you want to
just mute one track, let's say with audio, if I want to mute
this track and only keep the music, I can mute this. Now I'll just be
the audio playing. Simple. So that is how you can
mute and control separate. Oh, sorry, I forgot
this as well. Volume slider, you can use this to go up and down
with your decibels. That is how you can mute control and solo
separate audio tracks. Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
20. How To Remove Green Screen: So this is how you can
work with and remove the green screen and
Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18. So first off, let's get
our green screen in here. I just have a simple
clock animation. Let me actually mute these. I have a simple clock animation. It's a little bit laggy. That is okay, but it's a bill to get rid
of this green screen. How do we do that? So if you go into your
FX menu right here, you're gonna see chromic
here, right about here. And you're just going
to add that in. Once you have this
added in, its, nothing's gonna happen even
if it's selected up here. So you're gonna go to the color, you're going to click directly on the blue, which is the stock. And then you're going to
click this eyedropper tool. Then you're going
to click on the green and that will remove it. And you can undo it by selecting chromic here
and re-select it. You can do that as well. You're going to see
that the clock is a little bit see-through
on the edge. So how to fix that? You can mess with
these tabs right here. If you go too far, I'll
mess it up too much. But if you go right
about there, perfect. Now it's full clock, green
screen and they're awesome. And that is how
you can work with green screens and Sony
Vegas Pro 17 or 18.
21. How To Render Your Video With The Best Rendering Settings: This is how you can render
your video and Sony Vegas Pro 17 or 18 with
the best render settings. So let's get ourselves a little clip here to
be able to render. Let's bring that over here. Unmute these, make
sure everything is cleaned up. Looks alright. Might be a little laggy, but
you want to highlight this. So we're going to do, you're
going to hold this right here and bring this over top, making sure it's in blue
and you can click off this. And as long as these
little yellow notches up here are within it, that means it's
selected for rendering. You can then move
these in or out, either one to be able
to select more or less. So once you have
this all selected, all your audio done, you
have everything done. Come up to here. Click File, click render as an it will bring
up this entire menu. So I'm not sure what's funny, you'll be selected
on, you might be wondering on one of
the ones down here. But for rendering intent ADP to upload to YouTube
or whatever, you want to click on, magics, AVC slash AAC MP4. This will bring
you to this menu. And what you're gonna wanna
do is you want to click on, let's see, One of the
Internet, ten ADP ones. And it's gotta say NVIDIA. Or if you have an
NVIDIA graphics card, make sure to click
the Nvidia one. For Ryzen, the same thing. And then you're going
to click on that one. And then you're going to
click customize template. And I recommend creating a custom template,
which is what I made. So you're gonna,
I'm gonna go into my custom templates so I can
show you the best settings. But you're just going
to go into one of them and name it, will save it. And then you can click Save
up here once you're done. So makes sure the frame
size is 1920 by 1080. Make sure the profile is main. Make sure the frame
rate is whatever you'd like it to be for YouTube and just anything in general, it's usually 6,059.940. It's usually the normal one. Pixel aspect ratio. It's got to be 1.0. Fueled order
non-progressive scan. And then down here, you're going to have
40,000,000.20 million. And then you're going to
be using whatever Encoder, Encoder is best for
your computers. I have the envy,
the Nvidia encoder, preset default RC mode, VBR, and then an audio
48,190 2000 system. Copy these numbers right here, 65535 on both of them. You don't have those
use project settings. You use project settings
for both of these. That just means
whatever preset you had when you first
created the project, it will use those settings. Once you have these
made, we'll click Okay. And then we can go
and render the video. But first, I'm going to click on this and
you want to make sure the right photo
folder is suggested. And you can click
Browse right here to go onto your desktop and
click the right folder. So for me, I just have
documents selected. Now. You can select this, delete that, and you can now
name it whatever you'd like. So I will name it test video. Once you have all that done, make sure your
preset is selected. Once everything is like
that, you can click Render. And it will usually take a decent amount of time depending on how
long the video is. For me. Just took that amount of
time I send that sentence. So you can click Open
Folder once you're done. And now I can bring up the
test video on my screen. Perfect. Completely rendered out. Awesome. And that is how you can render a video with the best
render settings. And Sony Vegas Pro, 17 or 18.
