I bought Vegas 9 from Videoguys in November and it came with zip documentation except the cryptic CD manual that Sony ought not include. I did get a Douglas Spotted Eagle training DVD with the DVD and liked his style and found the information he provided to be of much help, but it didn’t go far enough. So I was happy to see this book available.
I am new to video although I’ve worked with digital audio for years and stills in Producer. Every page of this book has useful information that has brought me up to speed on Vegas. I pretty much know what I want to do with the software, but finding it in the manual is impossible — such as how do you separate a video and audio track? I spent hours looking for the answer in the documentation; I had it in minutes with the Vegad Pro 9 Workshop.
The only negative is the book does not cover DVD Architect. So I had to spend another $28 here to get that book. I thought the chapters on the DVD included with the book would cover that, but they are chapters that are really outdated and talk about DV and the future of HD and versions 5 and 6 of Vegas. Overall, the DVD resources aren’t that great, but the book stands on its own. Highly recommended for novice and pro alike.
Rating: 5 / 5

I’ve been using Sony Vegas 7.0 for a while now and just upgraded to Vegas Pro 9 a few days ago. I ordered this book because although I feel that I know the program well, I always felt that I could improve my knowledge and workflow so I decided to make the investment.
Already I feel as if I’ve gotten my money’s worth. Vegas is packed full of tools that I never had time to learn about let alone actually use. Flipping through the book I’ve already found clear explanations for tools and functions that I hadn’t really used.
This is like attending a course. I’m going to through from start to finish although I’ve already installed the software–I’m breezing through the things that I already know but I’m still picking up some good tips and pointers.
So far I’d recommend this book to novices and experienced users alike.
