Hey all,
Oh man, it's been almost four years since I graduated film school where I was lectured on Avid for a solid two months, and I forgot just about everything. Between then and now, I've opened MC four times to try and learn it, but I just get so frustrated; I could never grasp it. I was offered a paid AE gig (wow, is this guy serious?) to work on Avid this weekend and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for some quick reference tips. Maybe some compare/contrast tips from members on here who use both programs? Just trying to learn the basics to function and make simple cuts to get around the program. Maybe someone has a keyboard file with shortcuts setup similar to FCP?
Also, is anyone an AE on Media Composer and can offer me some basic workflow tips when ingesting media and performing assistant tasks? I'm semi familiar with the Isis Unity and what it's used for, but I'll probably be so absent minded of the lingo if someone tells me to get something from somewhere on there. Any help is MUCH appreciated. THANKS!!!
Here's my email if you'd like to send me anything, or just post in here.
