You now have an "event" on the timeline that you want to remove. Then scrub to where you want to end the edit (the J-K-L keys go backwards, stop, forward, and each time you press J or L the speed gets faster) and press "S" again. One way to do cuts only edits is to press "S" (for split) which will split the "event" (that's what each section of video or audio is called). Vegas gives you dozens of ways to do the same thing. This one is version 13, and they are now at version 14.
The secret? The cheap software is always at least 1-2 versions out of date. I used to buy all sorts of expensive software on eBay this way. Sony still gave you the option of purchasing their software in a box, right up until they sold the company to Magix last spring.

Gamma adjustment is available in several of the Vegas plugins including both the Levels and Color Corrector plugin.Įven better is to learn how to use the Color Curves plug in which lets you create your own histogram curve so that you can increase the brightness of just some of the image, while leaving the really dark and really light sections alone.įirst of all, that software is almost certainly legitimate. This increases or decreases the midtones while leaving the pure dark and pure bright pixels more-or-less intact. What you want to use instead is a gamma adjustment. Most brightness tools (certainly the one in Vegas) increase the level of all pixels, something that will result in washed out blacks and burnt-out highlights. However, even though you can do it using Vegas' Brightness and Contrast fX, you probably don't ever want to adjust brightness, in Vegas or in any other program.
(BTW, apologize for reading "also" as "auto" in your earlier post.) I don't need AUTO adjust brightness, but I can manually adjust brightness, right? Yes, most definitely.
