AVID for FCPman !
Hi all !
I’m a freelance editor in paris.
I’ve learned on Avid the technique of editing in 2003 and since them i’ve mostly worked on FCP…brrrrrr 😉
I’m beginning a new job on thursday on Avid editing system…
The edit will contain a lot of still pictures.
I would like any advises on the setting of the project, the import of these stills, the final render…
The pics I will import will be bigger than SD or HD,
How must I do if I want to keep the source definition, for exemple if I zoom ? the pan&zoom seemed bugged on the avid i worked…everything was black when the pan&zoom FX was applyied…
For spli-screen, superimpose pics : Pip ? only ? 😉
I don’t know yet if the output will be in HD or SD.
The few edit I recently made on Avid were very basic…. no type, no animation….
I’ve been practicing a bit for that work…and when i tried tool text and marquee, the quality in the record monitor seemes a bit blurry…I’m in best quality monitoring…
is it because of the field dominance that is was blurry in a PC monitor ? I didn’t hav a video preview plugged……
THX !
I really don’t want to fu@k that new job in a new company !!!! And I feel excited for using AVID better !

hi Vincent
yes, you have to go pan&zoom, its easy to mess it up (or use it wrong) read the help section on pan&zoom
its not that bad a tool. you don’t event have to import the stills to the project to use itdon’t use pip. try playing a bit with 3D warp, with advanced mode, it has more options and features than the motion tab in FCP 🙂
also, try playing a bit with Animatte, you can make nice stuff with that tool, 3D warp and a bunch of stills
good luck on the new job
