One thing I don't see much of in the tech forums is Vegas tutorial videos. Here are some great videos by "Little Rich".
(NOTE: Videos are for Pro 10, not sure what you can or can't do with Studio or Platinum, but if you can keyframe you can do a lot.)
You may look at some of these and say "Whatever, I don't think I'll ever need to add a demon face to anybody in a video. BUT, the way some of these techniques are done will teach you so much about using Vegas.
1) Basics
SOUND EDITING
As he notes, the audio volume envelope is very helpful for muting background music mixed in with dialogue.
"RIPPLE" EDITING
(I don't do this personally as I take a weird pleasure in moving clips myself.)
COLORING
2) Special Effects
MASKING - STRAIGHT LINES & CURVES
MOTION TRACKING

SPLIT SCREEN & CLONING

(This is mainly geared towards filming your own videos, but there is some awesome tips on cropping videos, panning/zooming and merging two shots/scenes together.)
