This two-day workshop will demonstrate typical project workflows on the latest version of Avid, from digitizing BetaSP dailies (for a 24 fps film project), capturing DVCAM footage (for a 29.97 fps video project) and ingesting tapeless HD footage, to creating personalized settings, organizing bins, media management, video resolutions, effects, rough cuts, trimming, adding titles, colour correction, importing, outputting work tape and EDLs and consolidating a project. Students will become familiar with the industry standard Avid interface, and will understand how the Avid processes digital media. The workshop concludes with some basic hands-on exercises.

Basic knowledge of the Mac or Windows platform or previous digital editing experience is recommended.
