Learning Editing Techniques

Recently i've been watching a lot of different tutorials to learn some more cool effects to edit into my intro. All of these tutorials have been for sony vegas pro 9 and photoshop cs4, the reason i've learnt techniques is so that i can create original titles uses an original text with some creative effects.

i've been trying out some of these techniques wide other video clips i had on my comuter, the vast majority of them are colour correction test, trying to figure out how to create a dark eerie feel but still being able to see what's going on, i've created my own colour correction(i will just call it CC from now on to save time) although i have only tried it out on video game clips, it has a slight gold tint, which sounds kinda weird but i will post a screenshot of it to show the difference.
