I just got this program and it is my first attempt at using editing software. Does anyone know of a good tutorial website or something that could help teach me the basics to sort of get me going? Anythign would be great. Thanks!

You're going to have to tell us the program that you got if you want some suggestions.

its in the title, sorry. it's vegas video 4

Oh, yeah, I didn't see that. Heh, sorry.

...anybody? I can't find anything online.

Great choice for an pro editor, especially your first one. It's the easiest thing to learn, just experiment with actuall stuff and youll find what you want in time with all the buttons clearly present and effects drag and dropable.
I used video factory 2 first (a consumer version of Vegas), and it had an amazing real time tutorial for beginers. I would definately try to find it just for this if you need to learn fast. Other than that, check out http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578202191/qid=1082780474/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-5838989-2495361?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 I've tried to find this in stores, but I'll likely have to buy it online. I've heard great things, plus its from the DV.com series, which I have 2 other titles from on sound and lighting, both excellent.
