That's very cool and well explain tutorial. I have a question hope you don't mind, whenever I split screen for one of my clips the other clips I am using also move along and I don't how to lock only the clips I want split and keep the other ones normal, can you please help out with this problem I will appreciate it alot.

In the tool bar at the top of the screen you have an option called "Event Grouping" turn that off and it should resolve the issue you are seeing.

Hey Pookie, you are a great editer using Sony Vegas, Do you know how to move the camera around? [diagnol and horizontal]

Thanks.

There are 2 basic steps to accessing the 3D Composition/Track Motion. On the video track(left hand side) you have a track motion button (click it) and you have your composition mode (change it to 3D). You'll notice that you have an edit window that gives you X,Y, and Z positions. Then it's just a matter of playing around with it until you have the right effect. You can also change the depth of field which can come in really hand for making more advanced videos.

Hope that helps.

Pookie, I can't seem to get it to move to the sides, Could you please give me more advice for that?

[Pookieftw]

I'm not sure what you mean by "Move to the sides"?

Wow I was too stupid to realise how to do this while it was very simple. I already knew how to pan videos and such, but this didn't come to my mind. Many tutorials tell you to use Track motion which sucks as it shrinks the whole track rather than just the clip you want to, and the result doesn't come out good if you render in a different resolution. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much! :D

When I try to render to an avi file, the lengh of the video gets reduced randomly. The video was 3:26 min and I got 1:30! The 2nd time I tried I got a 13 seconds video. Would you know why that happens?

Great video, it really covered what i needed in the first couple minutes, then went so much further. It way exceeded my expectations!!!
