Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this media composer training:

This course is the first step in achieving confidence, creativity, and efficiency with Avid Media Composer, the non-linear film/video editing application used in most movie and television productions. Along with its counterpart, MC 110 - Media Composer Fundamentals II, this course provides the foundation for Media Composer User Certification. The Media Composer 101/110 combined class saves you over 20% versus booking the classes separately.

This course leads you through the interface and basic editing techniques before moving on to trimming, fine-tuning the edit, adjusting audio, handling multicamera editing, adding transitions, adding titles, and outputting your finished project. The training is hands-on and features project-based lessons in which you work on real-world projects ranging from extreme sports to dazzling documentary footage. This course is the first step in mastering Avid Media Composer.
