Sony Vegas is a very popular video editor used to make YouTube Poop videos. It is used by an enormous array of poopers; so many in fact that a list of community members who do not use this is smaller (usually, these people are WMM masters or Adobe Premiere users). Was originally made by Sonic Foundry under the names VideoFactory and Screenblast until Sony bought them.

Advantages

Over Windows Movie Maker

  • Reversing
  • More visual customization. Movie Maker can have these but it requires plugins.)
  • Audio effects (Pan, Chorus, Reverb, Pitch Shift,etc.) Various VST effects can be used in Sony Vegas if they are compatible.
  • Program is very responsive. WMM on the other hand requires a lot of time between each edit or it will crash.
  • Generated Media
  • Lady parts

Over Adobe Premiere

  • Doesn't lock up or crash as much
  • Can be run on less powerful computers
  • Is much better at masking and pitch shifting

Disadvantages

  • The mp3 plugin can't be activated in Vegas 5
  • Some poopers have reported disappearing sound/visuals when using .AVI. (which can be sometimes be fixed by downloading a codec pack.)
  • Debugmode Wax plugin support was phased out after Sony Vegas 5.
  • Has to build audio proxies when you open it up.
  • Vegas 9 is very crash prone.
  • Vegas 11 does not run on Windows XP.
  • Vegas 10a is very buggy and the Reversing removes audio

Differences Between Vegas Pro and Vegas Movie Studio

Sony Vegas comes in two different versions: Vegas Pro and Vegas Movie Studio. Both have similar UIs and effects plugins. Some Differences are listed below.

  • Movie Studio is much cheaper than Pro. Movie Studio costs about $80-$90, but Pro costs about $599.
  • Pro can use an unlimited number of tracks. Movie Studio 10 can only use 20 tracks, less tracks are avalible if you have an older version.
  • Pro versions can edit at 60 frames per second (fps) instead of 30 fps. Keep in mind both versions can render at 30 and 60, so don't worry.
  • Pro can add audio effects to individual events. Movie Studio has to add audio effects to an entire track.

Where to Find

Sony Vegas can be obtained legally through websites like eBay or Amazon, or possibly at various software retailers.

There is also the option of downloading it but, uh... that's technically piracy. (though that doesn't stop YouChew's media library from having plenty of free downloads for it...)

Tools and Tips

If you are using Sony Vegas for the first time you may find the software to be complicated and frustrating. Take a look at The Vegas FAQ Thread for tutorials and tips on every thing you need to know. Down below are a few things you can try for fun.

  • Importing an MP4 into Sony Vegas can result in a very nice flickering effect. This is just having fun with a glitch.
  • G Major can be done by simply duplicating a subclip into say 4 copies and changing the pitch of each subclip exponentially.
  • The ability to bypass motion blur. Ever annoyed by how you can't actually see something moving smoothly in your final video?

Where you see the track number on the timeline, over to the right you will see a button that says "Bypass motion blur". This will make each individual frame of the video seen and recognizable. With bypass motion blur it doesn't matter if your source is 12fps and if your project is 30fps. It'll be fine and inbetween movements won't be hindered. This is only recommended for a source that is in good quality and was just made. If this doesn't work just right click on your clip in the timeline and press properties. By default it will be set to "smart resample", but that's awful. What you wanna do is set it to "disable resample".

  • Source replacement! This allows you to throw any file in place of any source that is missing. It doesn't have to be the same file and it will work error-free. Just move your source to another folder and Vegas will ask for the file or a replacement.
