[Richard Herd] “4. Although AVID is a great price for educators ($300), and I’m waiting for grant money to buy it, I cannot imagine forcing my students to use it. It’s comparatively clunky and while I haven’t used Avid since 2003, from the point of view of a 14 – 18 year old high school student who has cut maybe 2 things total, I can already hear their pleas: “Mr. Herd, please can I just do this in X?””

This depends on the curriculum. If you are training film students bound for a major market or radio-TV students bound for TV station news departments, it is essential that they’ve been exposed to Avid. The other NLEs may be preferred, but Avid is what they will encounter in the workplace.

If they are bound for general digital media jobs or medium market production, then any NLE will do.

Just set up another custom layout and give it a different name. The Go to “Final Cut Pro-Commands and you’ll see all the different layout names you’ve made.
