There are times when we want to start getting to know a certain editing software (or postproduction in general) but opening it for the first time alone causes us some respect. So, for all those who want to get started with Avid Media Composer<\/a> editing system (or those who want to refresh their memory), here are some basic tutorials to help you get started. <\/p>\n

All of them are based on version 6 of Media Composer and Symphony<\/a>, and have been created by Kevin P McAuliffe for a publication in the prestigious Creative Cow.<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Starting<\/h4>\n

In this first tutorial we talk about some important and necessary concepts before starting to edit. An example of this is the advantages provided by the 64 bit introduced in this version 6, and they show us an application with which we can take advantage of them in Mac OS X. <\/p>\n

Then we enter the project window and its options, making clear from the outset the differences in flexibility with other editing systems such as Final Cut Pro<\/a>. Here you have to know what you are working with and how from the moment you create the project. <\/p>\n

Finally, they show us where the projects are located on the computer (the folder) and how to create a user profile.<\/p>\n
