The Vegas family of creative software offers a wide range of simple tools and easy-to-use effects. Together, these will quickly let you gather all your video clips, trim them, add effects, and put out a complete project in no time. Here’s a quick overview on how you can go from start to finish in a Vegas Pro 17 video project.
To start, you’ll need to import all the video files you want to use in your project. That’s as simple as opening the files from inside the software. With them imported, you can view each directly in Vegas Pro 17. You can quickly set a start and end point (or “in” and “out” points) for the clip and then drag it down to your project’s timeline. You can even drop whole clips into the timeline, then cut any portions you don’t need using the Split function.
Once you’ve added all the clips you want to your timeline, you can easily add a fade-out to avoid an abrupt end of your video. There are also plenty of built-in effects that can stylize all of your clips with ease. And, when the project is done, Vegas Pro 17 lets you export it into a wide variety of high-quality file types.
