Good training books/DVD for avid Xpress pro?
Hi!
I am a long time FCP editor and my new contract is on Avid Xpress Pro… Honestly I presently hate this software, but I am aware that this is because I have to learn a new way of editing then the one I was used to have in FCP…
So I thought maybe you guys could point me some resources books and/or DVD, tutorials or stuff like that… so I can experiment on the machine and build myself a little experience with Avid…
Thanks!
Marck

Steve Hullfish is considered an Avid guru and has written some books on using Avid. I haven’t had the chance to read them, but they often come highly recommended. Here’s one:

Otherwise, check the Avid community forum at the Avid site for tutorials and tips/tricks:

Best of all–Ask Here! That’s what the CreativeCalf and CreativeCow are for. If you’re stuck, post your question. Wonder why Avid doesn’t work like FCP? Post here and we’ll set you straight. 🙂 I like Avid over FCP, but I tried to make FCP work like Avid and the Mac I was on had a lot of problems. I’m guessing you’re trying to make Avid act like FCP. Won’t work, and learning not to is half the battle.
Good luck on your Avid endeavors, and let us know if we can help.
Michael.
