Boris Red Training

[Gregory Leno]

Alex,

There is a training DVD for AVID FX, which is essentially Boris RED, that I believe is pretty good.
Once you get inside the “FX” filter the interface is the same as RED.
I have only looked at it briefly but it looked like it was well done.

I am new at this as well and would like to go through it also.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Greg,

Thanks, and I did place an order for that one on the DigiStore this morning as well. I am actually using the Avid FX from the Toolkit HD, so that worked nicely.

Are you also using it through the Toolkit for Xpress Pro / Media Composer?

I’m actually using RED in Final Cut. A local VAR here recomended the Avid FX tutorial since, once you get inside of it, the program is the same as RED.

I would be interested to hear what you think of it because, as I said, I just briefly looked at it.

This program seems to be pretty deep as I get more into it. I would like to get better educated quickly and this tutorial seems to be something that can help that process along.
I hope!!!

Well I might just write a review for Cow then. I am not sure when it will arrive, but it’s only 2 hours long I think. Should be able to review it quite quickly.

Let me know how it goes with the DVDs and what is missing for you to get better…. I may be thinking about producing an advanced DVD training for Red 4 when it is launched. It would be great to know what you guys would like to learn.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the advice.

If I produce a DVD, it will be part of the CreativeCow master series. It will not be a basic DVD on this button does this, but rather an advanced training set showing things like displacement maps etc.

There are a lot of ways to gain the basics, and almost no one ever does advanced topics. So I’d be very interested to watch it.

I would have the first chapter to explain basics, the rest to do real world projects.

Sign me up guys!
From what I have seen this is really needed for Boris products.
If there were more well done instruction on the fundementals of this program, and how to implement them in a sophisticated way,
I think it would really help to increase the user base of this program.

I know I need it.

Let us know when you get something done.

Thanks
