And if you're wondering, i'm a student with a speciality cinema (Which mean I have to study 6hours a week cinema, editing, etc)

That doesn't make it any less useless, editing a movie and editing game clips are two extremely different things, unless you're really pretentious.

From what I can see, you drag the clip until the shot is synced (which is how I used to sync when i started) rather than increasing the velocity to sync it, which will give it more impact. This is a useful tutorial if you want to learn how to use velocity to sync first person shooters in sony vegas (1:22 is when it starts).

You should consider studying how movie are made and learn a things or two about it.

Per exemple, If I record something, I use an external hardware/server where i'll put all the "Rush", the "Rush" is EVERYTHING, in the video, in brut format, then you'll cut things from the rush to add them to your timeline and start your editing.

I don't have any external hardware to capture my screen, I just use Xsplit Broadcaster to capture/record which lets me still cut things and add them to the timeline in Vegas.



Yea, I have Windows 10 as my operating system so not going to work lol

Editing a Movie and Editing a game clips is obviously not the same, but they are major things that are in common between those.

Rather than doing that, you should try to have a little more time in a variety of clips and spread it out more. Not only does it make that section a little boring (7 seconds is a lot in a 38 second video), it takes away from how skillful the shot looks and makes it a little underwhelming, especially since the shot didn't sync with the music either.
