Editing with Avid Workshop

Build your confidence with Avid Media Composer

This highly practical course introduces the fundamentals of Avid Media Composer to get you up and running quickly and confidently over two days. This is a unique opportunity to learn editing essentials in Avid using footage from a well known Australian television show.

Explore real world examples to gain skills and knowledge in effective project organisation, customised keyboard shortcuts, a range of tools to annotate footage, as well as build a scene, refine its pace and replace specific shots.

At the end of this course students will be able to:

Understand how material  is typically organised in an editing project in a professional environment

Demonstrate how to select material, edit and refine a scene, and explore alternative angles when working with multi-camera footage.

Identify tools for efficient and creative collaboration when working with producers, directors and others.

Is Editing with Avid Fundamentals right for you?

This introductory editing course covers Avid Media Composer basics and is designed for beginners, with no previous editing experience or knowledge required. The course focuses on learning the software tools rather than the craft of editing or the role of an editor .

This course is ideal if you are not yet working in the industry but are aspiring to work in Post Production, as this course can get you started with the basics. It is also ideal for Post Producers or Production personnel who already work in the industry but are new to Avid and need to learn how to work the tools, or for people who need a refresher.
