Nice job bro.

But tell your friends to stop nollie flipping.

[Adi0]

nice job. just keep practicing :-3:

[strong_racing43]

I liked it.

[Flamethrower]

Not bad. But the music made me feel like I was starting to play a Japenese RPG.

[roscoe skates]

Not bad. But the music made me feel like I was starting to play a Japenese RPG.

haha yeah i thought the same thing of the music.

everything else was good though.

[vgskater2]

that was really good

[Super_Skater]

Nice job bro.

But tell your friends to stop nollie flipping.

My thinking exactly.

[crazy_dave]

That was great man! For your first go using V7, im well impressed!

I liked the song lol =S. Who was it by?

[sizlesteve]

The song is Let go by Frou Frou

lol

[Miniflipkid]

The only things I didn't like was the song and the black and white.

[rankz]

I liked the way the colour came in once that guy landed the nollie off the ledge. I liked the song, it was slow and fitted with the long runs and general style of the video. I also liked the way you showed the bail of the BS180 at the start and the land at the end.

[giantsfan7791]

i have to say, that is a really good job for your first try with vegas. the way the color faded in and the song fitted great. nice job.

[r0zz]

I liked it, loved the song.

[sizlesteve]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I really apreciate it.

[thommyhild]

Well, you know that the songs been used http://youtube.com/watch?v=1yPIXAD9ndM with the same idea, that you stole because i know you saw this. That being said, you didn't do too bad of a job. The only problems were that the colour didn't come in right on the beat as it should have, and i think you could've edited the clips to make landings go with the beat a bit more, but other than that, good job. Good skating as well.

[sizlesteve]

Yea, he showed me his video. I tried to mimic(sp) it because i liked the edit so much. And yea i could have made it hit the beats but im very new to vegas and its hard to get used to. For me anyways.

[Spanky rox]

the skating and song was nice but, those guy's nollie flips rolled on the ground instead of being popped in the air.

[Pirate skate]

wow, 46mb video dude, you need a compressor, and welcome to the world of editing, cuz sony vegas is a tiny notch above WMM, i thought it was pretty good though.

[Dookie416]

once you learned the basics with vegas, it won't be as confusing as it seems right now. i liked it btw.

[almostsk8er33]

I really like how the music flowed with the skating, it was good.

[doyledoyledoyle]

cuz sony vegas is a tiny notch above WMM
I'm pretty sure Vegas is a bit better than "a tiny notch above WMM". It's arguably better than premiere. It's basically personal preference, but you can't say that it's a tiny notch above WMM, because you haven't used it. The ease of use is one thing that's a lot better than premiere, as well as the amazing colour correction capabilities.

That video was edited in Vegas, you can't say that that's "a tiny notch above WMM"'s capabilities.

[Pirate skate]

well buddy, I have used it, I've used it for a good year or so, the capabilities has nothing to do with "tiny notch" it's all about next step, it goes from WMM to vegas, bottom line, i don't think that vegas produces anything better then WMM can.

[McJesus]

You need to play deceptacon - le tigre

[crazy_dave]

^that songs on so many promo's tho. Well thanks to Mr. Rick McCrank.

[sizlesteve]

Yea i know i need a compressor. But are there any free ones? Cause right now i dont have money to buy too much. I tried to compress with vegas and...haha..... didnt come out to good.

[Voughtie182]

nice i just got vegas 7 today, so im still trying to figure everything out too.

[thommyhild]

well buddy, I have used it, I've used it for a good year or so, the capabilities has nothing to do with "tiny notch" it's all about next step, it goes from WMM to vegas, bottom line, i don't think that vegas produces anything better then WMM can.
did you even read the post above you

[doyledoyledoyle]

Yea i know i need a compressor. But are there any free ones? Cause right now i dont have money to buy too much. I tried to compress with vegas and...haha..... didnt come out to good.
google "squared 5"

well buddy, I have used it, I've used it for a good year or so, the capabilities has nothing to do with "tiny notch" it's all about next step, it goes from WMM to vegas, bottom line, i don't think that vegas produces anything better then WMM can.
wow, then you really didn't use vegas as well as you should have/ could of. if you're saying the amount of legit effects and tools, aswell as more advanced things like chroma keying and key framing are a step above WMM, you really got some shit to learn. here's an example, 2 montages, almost exactly the same, but one has a little "touch" from vegas:

WMM: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dCWrM8kTqFw
Vegas: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1yPIXAD9ndM

Yeah, there really is no difference. I mean, in WMM you really can use more than one video/audio layer, and manually set levels and different hues on darks, lights and mids. I you still think Vegas is one step above WMM, tell me, and i'll help proove you wrong. Soemthign like Pinnacle would be one step above WMM.

[Voughtie182]

what type of file did you render it as cause i'm still trying to figure out what gives the best quality

[sizlesteve]

Quicktime 7 (.mov)

[Dspizzle]

ok i currently use imovie but i can never save it to a good enough quality file that is compatible with youtube and i have final cut but it keeps saying shit and i want to use sony vegas but i have a mac and im not sure if vegas works on macs if so were could i download the sony vegas mac version?
thanks dudes.

[doyledoyledoyle]

@ sizlesteve: Render as .avi. Then open the file in Squared5 (download it if you hvaent already), and play around with settings, to get a nice quality, small file.

@ Dspizzle: There is no Vegas for Mac. Only Imovie, Final Cut Pro, and the cheap version of Final Cut. When you edit in Imovie, save it as a full quality file, then download Squared5 (google it, there is a mac version), and like said above, play around with shit to get a good quality small file video.

[Dspizzle]

thanks dude

[sizlesteve]

Thanks doyle.
