Hello,
My goal is to be a film editor. As we know, everything is done on Avid. So, if I want to be able to get on anywhere to start working my way up it’s going to be on Avid. I have been playing around with Xpress Pro 5 and it’s seems so outdated and so slow to move around in compared to Vegas and I think even FCP beats it. It’s all about the art of editing anyway, and not the program. (Although Vegas does help me do precisely what I’m thinking where the other programs are too clunky.)
Anyway does anyone have any suggestions on where to learn Avid? I’m guess buying a good book. (or free tutorials?)
Also, does having certification help to get a job?
Thanks!
