  • Good transition book from FCP to AVID

    I have seen the book “Final Cut Pro for Avid Editors.” What about the other way around? Any books/manuals that will cut through all the beginning crap and just focus on the differences of Avid for Final Cut Pro Editors?

    Ian,

    Just read the book backwards. 😉 Sorry.

    I heard that someone is working on this, but I’ve not seen it yet.

    Funniest response I have heard to date. Any known AVID training classes that don’t cost an arm and a leg and a head and a body?

    Hire a one on one ‘trainer’ or a power user as opposed to a class. Most likely cheaper and more tailored to what you want for the vertical you work on.

    It’s sad to say, but most move FROM Avid to FCP – hence the lack of books on it. Heck, Diana Weynands bible on it – FCP for Avid editors, is always a great seller, and she recently published an updated one. Sign of the times?

    Maybe but I don’t want to be paying international fees.

    Ian, from the link mentioned above, find at the top of the page an option for country and currency.
