How to mask a pony in Sony Vegas, or Twizzle drinks too much and makes a crappy tutorial

In honor of today being the day I move into the next age bracket on those silly youtube demographics (Protip: 25-34 no longer applies to me), I decided to take a break from butchering things in FL Studio and put together a masking tutorial.  I was rather intoxicated during the recording of the video, and no less intoxicated during the recording of the audio.  Don't drink kids, it's bad for you.

I glossed over quite a few things, so this isn't as great a tutorial as you might have hoped for.  Still, it'll show you how to do the things I did in Applesheen, and my accidental 200 subscriber video.  It will also save you the massive headache of being unable to find a masking tutorial that actually applies to editing ponies.

I do not edit for a living.  I had never edited before the last week in April.  I've never had an editing class.  What you see is the result of me pressing random buttons in Vegas and figuring out what they do.  There may be a better way to mask, but I haven't found it and no one I've asked has had any better advice.  If you know something I don't, leave it in the comments because I certainly don't mind learning.

Created with Camstudio and Audacity.  My shitty microphone was an X-box live headset.  I'm that damn professional, I only use the best equipment and it shows.

ChefMKT ( http://www.youtube.com/user/Chefmkt ) is the one who told me those three Vegas commands to get me started.  He also taught me where to find track motion, and a little bit about keyframes.
