This class is a recreation of my college introduction to editing course but updated to include Vegas software and common internet standards for video. You will learn editing theory as well as how to use Vegas Creative Software Products Movie Studio and Vegas Pro. You only need Movie Studio (the cheaper consumer version) to complete this course.
