Introduction to Avid FX with Kevin P. McAuliffe

With editors wearing multiple hats in the edit room, one thing they don't have the luxury of is time. The time it takes to export multiple clips out of their Avid editing system to work in an external application to get high-quality graphic treatments. So what do they do? They harness the power of Avid FX and create stunning motion graphics from the included AVX plug-in that is accessed right from within their Media Composer or Symphony timeline. When you purchased Media Composer 6 or Symphony 6, you received a free copy of Avid FX (the standalone and AVX version), to start taking your editing projects to the next level. The only problem is, you have no idea how to use it! Well, this is where this training comes in.

Avid FX TrainingKevin P McAuliffe, Boris TV trainer and a Media Composer editor for 15 years, is your host through over three hours of training designed specifically for Avid editors, to get them up and running as quickly as possible. Everything is covered from installing the application, to learning all about the interface, to creating lower thirds and transition effects, and even how simple it is to create stunning motion graphics with the standalone version of the software. When you're done watching this learn-at-your-own-pace training video, you'll have a good, basic understanding of Avid FX so you can get in and start adding more production value to your edits right away.
