Hi all,

Now I know this forum is not used for promoting products, but I feel compelled to share my learning experience with the newbies (& perhaps oldies!) out there.

I've been teaching myself Avid Xpress for about 12 months and in addition to using this forum, been searching for other tips/tricks/tutorials to help me.

I did consider doing a college course, but at $2000+, I thought I'd wait a while before making such an investment.

I then came across the 'Edit Like a Pro' DVD guide. And at a snippet of the price of a course (only US$147), I bought it.

Firstly I was pleasantly surprised to find that it worked on a ps2 (in Australia). As for the content, well it was great. Very informative, easy to follow and humorous.

It covers many aspects from: simple sequence creation, to colour correction, audio and FX menus.

With over 4 hrs of tuition, I can safely say that my money was well spent and that my knowledge of Avid has improved 4 fold.

I can endorse this product only because I am one of those beginners who have persisted to master Avid, spending many hours trying to figure out one thing that turns out to be achieved with a click of a button in 2 secs! This DVD guide has helped my skill advancement and confidence considerably.

If anyone is dubious and wants to run concerns past me, please email me at: strangeworld04@yahoo.com.au.

Otherwise go to the following link for the DVDs:

Hi NotaMono and J.MICHAEL,

Thanks for reading my forum post.

I was under the assumption that these type of forums were created to help and assist other like minded folk, who shared common interests.

As such, my post was only intended to inform Avid beginners/intermediates that they can get hold of affordable Avid tuition. If no one makes that kind of information available, then how are we supposed to know! That's why the internet is so powerful....'communication'.

Why would I limit my posting to 1 forum, where the number of folks who could benefit from the dvds are limited?

I see the same Avid questions asked from forum to forum, so why not try and alleviate some of the learning curve by suggesting an affordable solution!

There's very limited Avid dvd tuition around. I found the before mentioned dvds in a forum and bought them....nothing ventured, nothing gained.

And my knowledge has improved considerably, as has my editing.

I don't work for the company, in fact the reason for buying the dvds is to advance my skill so I can get a job in the industry.

Common fellers, cynicism is for jaded folk

All the best,

MM

i'm not passing judgement on the truthfulness of your post.... but we're very cynical here. you'd be amazed at the amount of scams we see (or, we THINK we see! )

If that's the case then I know where you can get a great deal on generic viagra.

Look, help people all you want, but if that help is to suggest buying a product without solicitation(Whether you work for the company or not) most of us would prefer you post that under classifieds. Not a big deal, but still...
