The Red camera is linear. Don’t go to Log until you need to for a film LUT.

No, you will need all the classes. It is as different as FCP. Totally different philosophy with an attempt to make it Media Composer like in parts of the interface.
Sure you could learn it on your own, but you will save yourself tons of hours of frustration by taking the classes.
They have a free download version that you can install at home and play with.

Elastic Gasket doesn’t work very well in the current systems. It appears it is no longer being supported.
If you want the After Effects style interface within Avid, take a look at Boris Red.

No, FCP doesn’t read Avid projects. Automatic Duck will more than pay for itself if you are moving a lot of sequences.

Unity creates subfolders for each workstation within the OMFI folder. You need to bring the media up to the surface level of the OMFI folder on your standalone system.
Don’t do the FCP / Avid / Automaitc Duck dance if you can avoid it. We handle projects that way on occasion and it is only used when we HAVE to, not a pretty workflow.
Format your dives for Mac and copy the media from the Unity onto them on one of the PC workstations with MacDrive installed. That will allow you to read and write to your Mac formatted drive.
Once the media is copied over, you only need to move the project file back and forth. Renders will need to be redone on each end unless you keep copying them back and forth.
Make sure any fonts you use are resident on the PCs.
The old style Color Effect doesn’t look the same going from Mac to PC.
If you use Pan and Zoom or Moving Picture, make sure you create ONE dedicated folder for all of your source pictures that you can easily move to the PC workstation.

The “Avid Editing” book has footage on the DVD.
The Editor’s Guild will sell you a VHS that has all the elements of scene from Gunsmoke on it.
There used to be a packet that had three scenes from Highlander on it along with all the ADR, sound effects, music, marked up script and how to use all of those elements. Don’t know where to find it now.
For the most part the problem with footage is that it has to be licensed.

Let me try this again:
“(b) On October 5, 2007, Michael J. Rockwell resigned as Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of AvidTechnology, Inc.”

It’s even easier than that. Copy your media folder to your laptop. Then just move your project back and forth. It will use whichever media folder you have attached.
The only catch is that any renders you create will stay with the machine you are on when you render, and any additions to the media folder (captures, imports) will need to be copied to the other media folder. This takes some organization.
Why do you need to use media sift? If you only have the one project on their, copy the whole media folder over, if there are mixed projects, duplicate your sequence and any other clips you want to a new bin, then consolidate those to your other computer’s drive.

yes, you record the automation gain. Mark an in and out around the section you want, arm the tracks you want, then go into record. After you are done you will see a ton of keyframes in your audio timeline. You can also manipulate these after the fact and adjust them individually or in groups.

Sadly, they took that option away when they left the Meridien platform. They have added it back as an option in the Symphony Nitris, not sure about Adrenaline though.
