D dcrowe Member Nov 15, 2010 #1 I've never used an Avid before...my current station is editing on Edius, but I'm about to move to a station that uses Avid. Can anybody recommend some good tutorials or places on the web to get a head start? Thanks!

D dcrowe Member Nov 18, 2010 #4 Thanks for the help! These have definitely been useful. Has anybody read a book by Sam Kauffmann called "Avid Editing"? http://www.amazon.com/Avid-Editing-Fourth-Beginning-Intermediate/dp/0240810805/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290119336&sr=8-1

ben-s Member Nov 24, 2010 #6 Avid Editing is a great book, as is The Avid Handbook: http://www.amazon.com/Avid-Handbook-Techniques-Strategies-Information/dp/0240810813/ref=pd_sim_b_2 I have both and they've proved very useful.
