I tried the "tutorials". The constant background music is unbearable. Why would they use music at all? For a promo, yes. For a tutorial? No. To use rap type music with the singer talking in the background while an instrustor is talking in the forground is very invasive and makes it impossible to focus on what is being said.
I went into the application's Help and that is a bit better, but I feel like I need to know more than I do to really understand it. Overall it is a very frustrating experience.
Is there some kind of manual, book or tutorial that would, as an example, take you through creating a very simple project - say importing a video, adding a title, doing a simple dissolve, that kind of thing and then building on that, going into more sophistacted techniques and processes within that project?
Don't get me wrong. I have been a computer engineer over 30 years. A still photographer even longer. I have Paint Shop Pro X2 and just upgraded to X3. I love these products and I barely needed to read anything to start getting deeper into them.
But the concept of video editing appears a lot more more complicated. I need something to uncomplicate it.
