In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe talks about the Avid Attic. Once the discussion of bins starts, backups of those bins is next, and probably one of the most important topics you will learn, as there will always be times where something is deleted, whether by accident or not, where you’ll need to get it
In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe talks about the “New” interface! I call it “New”, as it’s almost a year old now, but people still hate it. They loath it, and really for no reason other than they haven’t used it. The new interface with Bin Containers will speed up your overall workflow to a
In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe talks about Transcoding. We’ve talked in Lesson 5 about working with Avid “friendly” media.

In this lesson, we’re taking it right back to the beginning.

One of the most common Media Composer workflows is sending your Media Composer timeline, specifically the audio, to ProTools to have an audio engineer give it the much needed mix it needs, so your final product can be sent to stations, theatres, or wherever else it might be going. With that said, there are some
There’s nothing more frustrating that having 1080i clips, that you know were acquired in 23.976, and dropping them into your timeline, only to have them look terrible. Well, if you look closely enough in the Motion Effects editor, there’s a great tucked away feature to add 2:3 pulldown to your footage. What does this mean
