Total newbie to video editing....

I'm trying out 2 programs, Sony Vegas and Power Director. I know this is the PD forum.

I am still trying to figure out how to get my clips off of the camera and into Vegas. With Power Director, it took me about......3 seconds to figure it out!!

I have read reviews on PD and they impressed me enough to stop with Vegas and check out Power Director.

I have not done much more as far as using it, but did notice that when I dragged a clip to the time line, the audio line did not activate? There is audio with the clip and I wanted to try to edit it (remove or tone down).....

If you have a quick answer, great!

Also, if you can point me to some good rookie newbie tutorials that would be great!

Regards,

Ray

Hi Ray,

What build of PD7 do you have, early versions did have a problem with the audio not showing in the timeline

Hi Ray,

You could also try splitting the audio from the video, right click on the clip and select split audio, the audio will then be placed in the music or voice track, you can then double click on the audio and the waveform editing box will appear.
