  Advanced AVID techniques?

  Posted by Rich Catena on February 1, 2007 at 4:41 pm

  Anyone know of a school or private trainer for advanced editing techniques? I’m an editor/after effects guy with 10 years of experience cutting promos, short-form docs and corporate. I’d like to learn some of the new techniques that you see in trailers; like glow effects, quick-cut montages, fast text effects and transitions.

  Any training or websites you can recommend would be really helpful.

  thanks,
  Rich

  Don’t know of any schools/trainers who can provide this, but I do know that the book “Avid Xpress Pro and DV on the Spot” by Steve Hullfish, Chris Phrommayon, and Bob Donlon is a must-have (and cheap!) resource in this area.

  Check it out: https://books.elsevier.com/us/focalbooks/us/subindex.asp?isbn=9781578202546&country=United+States&community=focalbooks&ref=&mscssid=VXU5PUV4GR6V8LLAKHS7MJ363G3W2G2A

  Take care.

  Ditto on the Hullfish books. They are the ones I always recommend first.

  Where are you located? I know a couple of trainers in TX who are terrific.
