I’m also Just starting to learn Avid, got it during the crossgrade promotion. I’ve been editing with FCP for about 7 years now, and I’ve always wanted to cut on Avid. I just never had the money to.
Chad, if you haven’t already, I encourage you to pick up the software. Avid has extended the crossgrade promotion. When you get the software, it comes with a tutorial DVD to get you started. I haven’t gotten very far in it, but I hope to learn how to edit more form the keyboard rather than use the mouse
A constant learner of new things, that pretty much sums me up!
