17:40 - Should You Use AVID?
“On an expert level…” my a*s, CZcams video editing is not the same as full feature movie production. Is like saying I fly any Cessna airplane on an expert level so I should be able to fly Boing 747 after only few minutes in the cockpit, after all airplane flying basics are the same… right…😃
little savage, but I get the point. You got to Edit a 90 minute film or three before you can claim expert status. What I caught here was "all editors are the same" yeah...Except AVID lol The power of AMC is the ability to transcode and create a gigantic project like nothing else in the world. My school gave us a free Avid subscription but I only edit larger projects on it because of the absolute punch in the genitals of round tripping for color & effects. Avid runs smoother that Resolve though, no doubt. I can edit on my M3 al day with avid
@@sledgeforcefilms8818 you need to edit more like 10 features I think haha. One feature film absolutely does not make one an expert. Once I hit my 4th film I finally felt like hey I'm really starting to get good at this. Then each new project I realize how much more i needed to learn and grow. Now I'm past ten, a good amount of TV, lots of shorts and music videos. I stay humble but I feel like I'm getting closer to "expert" level, meaning like...could I be trusted with a mulit million budget movie? I'm on the cusp, but its a long long journey.
This inspires me to make some avid tutorial videos cause this was painful haha. Kudos on trying to just dive in! Yeah avid is not for content creators. But as someone that uses it 90 hours a week, I love it. For people that want to have an editorial focus, especially long form feature film kind of projects, it's worth the decision to learn it. And yeah... I think to learn avid you have to actually breathe, and make a hard stance decision. "I'm gonna learn this damn thing!" Ever since doing so I've never looked back.
Happened with me and DaVinci Resolve. And I am an Avid user. I never wanna look back on Avid again. Well not true. But honestly it is way too archaic and DR is piercing in strong in the industry lately.
But yeah... it was really painful to watch. I am laughing throughout the whole video so I do not have to cry.🤣🤣🤣
A couple years later. I'm still trying to figure out how to load a select with picture onley onto the timeline! In FCP short cut is shift/2. In Avid who knows. i tried to send you $ but it doesn't work.
I find that it’s easier if Avid is your first NLE. I use to be an audio engineer before going into video, and Protools was a nightmare to me, but I did always liked editing in protools rather than any other DAWs. I have to say that study Avid systematically did build a strong foundation for someone who wants to be an editor
@@leonxu4289 avid was not my first, I cut in premiere , then fcp7, then avid. I cut a feature in resolve recently, also cut some music videos in FCPX, avid is still my fav by far
Thanks for sharing this Michael! I learned Avid during my undergrad back in 2006 and still use it to this day for feature work. There was/is definitely a bit of a learning curve w/ it, but huge props to you for giving it a try and even putting this out there as you were a bit new to it. I have a ton of respect for you (I also saw how you gave credit to Daniel K. for finding out that Resolve iPad pages hack) and how you approach things. If your hope is to get better w/ Avid, I would definitely encourage you to keep opening it each day/week, try cutting some of your existing projects with it, and try to spend more time with the UI so it becomes more familiar! All my best! -LAS
I have used Avid for years. I use Avid Ultimate with the projects I work on with larger teams & collaborations. It's way faster to cut things together when you learn it but definitely helps to have someone who understands the NLE walking you through it. Avid editors get paid more money mostly because it's the industry standard for projects with that budget but also because it takes more work to learn it so there is less competition. Avid is way more stable than any other system out there but because it can be complicated to learn there are less editors who can use so if you know Avid you are worth a lot more. Everyone and their puppy knows how to use premiere so on the larger projects with teams when we need to know avid mostly features it cuts out 98% of the other people. It's just been around for so long and battle tested.
True. about the first points. DR is very stable too. And yes... it is industries standard but in no way better nowadays.
I use Resolve for YT vids, but Avid for anything narrative. My workflow involves creating offline/proxy files in Resolve with a quick one lite or lut applied and then cutting in Avid. When I'm done, I bring it back to Resolve, conform with the click of a button, and then finish off the post process.
Avid has a massive issue with visibility. Their PR sucks and their learning resources are garbage for the most part. I'd check out Kevin P McAuliffe for some decent "getting started" type videos on MC. Having been an Avid user for more than 15 years now I can say that it is a love/hate relationship. I mostly cut broadcast tv for national channels in the UK. If you want to work in broadcast there is no other option than to learn it, every post house in London uses it. It's a very different paradigm if you're coming from Resolve or Adobe etc. It is designed first and foremost to be used collaboratively and to be able to track huge amounts of footage across potentially massive projects. Try using Premiere or Resolve with 10 other editors on shared storage with hundreds of TBs of footage and see how far you get - I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy but Avid will handle it with ease (mostly). Due to this design, the concept of just dragging in some footage and "getting started" does not apply to MC because in a professional environment, you can't just have 5 USB drives hanging off a laptop with media scattered all over the place. MC First is crippled in terms of what it can do, it's not really comparable to Resolve Lite because Lite is mostly the exact same program as Resolve Studio, MC First is literally like My First Avid. I don't really see the point of it. But what you have to understand is that although Avid is undoubtedly the king of broadcast and Hollywood, they are a tiny company in comparison to Adobe, Blackmagic or Apple, they simply don't have the same resources as those guys so I find their websites, installation procedures, learning materials and general usability suffer. Should you use Avid if your goal is to make CZcams videos? No. Should you learn it if you want to work on broadcast tv, commercials or theatrical film? It's your only option.
Thank you very much for the feedback. Today I spent a day installing the program and initial development) I imported 5 photos, I hope tomorrow I can import the first footage. Terrible lessons, little information, but a thoughtful approach to the program is visible!
Brains moved, why not)?
I've also been struggling to learn avidXD, half the reason it's industry standard is it has better trimming -and scrubbing tho I can't tell mostly - then most NLEs and that it's database server is extremely strong and rarely crashes in massive 2-4 hr projects ++ everything is keyboard mappable, the other half of the reason is that it's intentionally difficult to keep nonproes out so personally I would love you continuing to share your avid expirences:)
I use Avid for my CZcams videos, after moving on from products like Vegas Pro and Premiere. Some of the best editors in the world use Avid to edit some of the best feature films, and I figure if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me. The key thing is that by using a fancy tool like Avid, I can be certain that if my videos turn out like garbage, the problem is me, not the tool-and I can always improve with practice, whereas an inadequate tool is a permanent obstacle. Other people win Oscars using Avid. The complexity of high-ed software does sometimes leave me with an urge to just chuck it all, at least initially, but I've found that if I force myself to stick with it until I learn how to use it, I never regret it. It's always like that when you stat with something new. You do well for someone who hasn't read the 1500-page Avid manual.
I tell my students: Using Avid for internet content creation can be like using a chainsaw to cut a cake and using Premiere for a feature or television show is like using a knife to cut down a tree. You'll get there, but at what cost?
Programs like Premiere and FCP drive me crazy because they want to hold your hand through the process. Avid expects me to know what I'm doing and because of that cutting on Avid is like lightning for me now. That said, it usually takes about 4-5 classes before the it first starts clicking for my students, so don't be discouraged. It is a steep learning curve!
what
are you
talking about?
1. plenty of tv shows and feature cut on premiere
2. for big projects it's all about cooperation and reliability among the tools used in the postproduction process. hence Avid reigns supreme
3. FCP is the top choice for relatively simple projects (eg YT videos) because it's the fastest tool if you know how to use it
@@sometimesWF 1. You're right. Usually because Adobe bought them all new work stations or simply for budgetary reasons (like Everything Everywhere which had used almost all of its budget on production. Base MC is $35/mo or $240/yr. PP is $23/mo at the time of writing. It's pretty easy to see which would win out if you only want to pay for a couple months). Media management with PP for long form media is, I think, the secret 10th circle of hell. Especially current PP. 5 years ago, it was tolerable, but every time I open the program now I just wonder if Adobe is trying to self sabotage. It is also an absolute nightmare to export broadcast ready deliverables from PP, believe me, I have tried (and cried). You can find a million forum posts to prove just how frustrating it has been for so many people. One of the really stupid issues is that exporting 16bit audio (a standard every distributor I've worked with wants) from Adobe (apparently) is not *actually* 16bit even though it says it is. It's 15.5 + .5bit which is different in a way that we'd need an engineer here to explain, but I do know it will get your episode bounced back from QC at the last minute and ruin your weekend! 😭 (P.S. note projects like Deadpool which was cut on PP, but Deadpool 2 was on MC)
2 & 3. 100% agree. I think you are taking umbridge with how I mentioned that I don't think Avid is the ideal tool for short form stuff like youtube? I stand by what I said. Imo, PP has a real leg up in this department because it's so easy to round trip to After Effects which is, for now, the best *affordable* vfx tool on the market (compared to Nuke/Houdini which are the true head honchos for long form atm). Sure, it's painless enough to export an AAF from MC and open in AE, but it just has that many more steps to get there and get back vs PP's right click and auto updating in the timeline that can really make a difference in a time crunch, like when you make weekly 10+ min videos.
A major factor is that there are just very different editing styles between Filmmaking and Content Creation*. Avid can be clunky when you're trying to throw something short and snappy together with straight edits and some flashy graphics (although it has gotten better in recent years for that, but isn't quite there yet imo). On the flip side, trying to cut a scene with an actual eye for pacing, emotion, continuity, etc., I would rather peel my eyelids off than make split edits in PP or FCP without Avid's trim tool and link selection toggle. I don't have as much experience in FCP to really have very many strong opinions, but anything that relies on clicking and dragging drives me crazy. It's so much faster to just hit "V" and splice in my shot.
Also, I did say that all of them will get you where you wanna go, just not that they are the ideal tools for every job, which it seems like you agree with from what I can tell?
And in the name of fairness, MC (all Avid products tbh) looses points with me on two main counts: quite possibly the most obnoxious licensing system devised by man and cost.
*My definitions:
Filmmaking: Long form media like television shows, feature films, and short films
Content Creation: typical "youtube" style videos, tiktok, insta, etc.
I am disparaging neither.
@@jacquidavis4022 Avid is a dinosaur brev, not in a good way...
OK this brought back memories of trying to learn/understand Avid. I feel your pain. I started off using a more entry level NLE but soon found out my long training videos got out of sync and that made me crazy so I switched to Avid. I spent a week in California attending a training class and learned a little bit. Very frustrating. So after years of watching CZcams videos I finally got to a point of feeling comfortable using Avid. Good luck to you. Just understand this product has a steep learning curve but it's worth it in my opinion.
Bro I love that you're growing out the beard! By the way getting your 1st initial reaction on the software is the reason I am subscribed you! Please more videos like this :) you do a great job :)
I have used Avid for years. No issues here. I was around during media composer, nitrous, ect... Avid gives me total control especially in color correction. Pairs well with after effects and other softwares
.
Just sit down with a pro editor for a couple of weeks and you’ll never look back 🙋🏼♂️
Every other editing software are just a toys. I made hundreds of productions on AVID and never have any problems with technical issues. This is important when you work for broadcast TV.
I’m taking an avid certification class through my school right now. I’m two weeks in, only just edited my first video today, and I’m ready to buy it for myself
@@nnnnnn3647 what do you think about davinci and premiere pro?
@@nemtz I guess as he's calling every other NLE toys he don't think any good about those to... Like every industry we'll have to wait for the senior of the industry to retire to get any progress. I mean I know big productions house that have invested into davinci full editing bench (like TV production house) and are doing great. Maybe I'm dreaming and it will never change as senior won't let younger FAE use anything else until they have the opportunity to become FE but hey just like I dream that adobe become obsolete in picture industry, maybe I can dream that editor using other NLE than avid get paid the same as avid editor and not half the salary in general... 😂
@@hitthesynth6417 damn half the salary for not using avid?? Ima have to learn how to use avid I guess 😭
I also have been using Avid MC for over 20 years and it does definitely have a greater learning curve. One that seems to continue at times I might add, I still try to learn new tricks and shortcut from other recognized Avid experts. However, once learned it does an awesome job of a lot of things essential to long form editing that the others (strictly my opinion and experience) fall short on. I would encourage you to stick in there and take the time and effort to learn it. Do I use the others at times? Yes, especially Resolve for final color and it definitely is overkill for what I see on youtube, just as it definitely isn't overkill for television, documentary and film work. I would encourage one to learn from the full version as the free one is limited. Hang in there and you will learn to love it. Especially in conjunction with Boris Continuum, Sapphire and Mocha Pro.
Not sure if you'll reply, but I'd appreciate it. What is it that makes Avid better than Resolve for long film, or television?
I use Resolve now, and the biggest downfall I can find about it is speed.
more editing videos in avid please
This makes my brain hurt. I decided to learn Avid years ago when I first got interested in video production. Learned it. Got pretty good with it. Even served as a volunteer moderator on some of the Avid community forums for a while. But in the long run, the unintuitive interface and the fact that you could not run Avid and Pro Tools (both made by the same company) on the same computer (without creating a separate partition for each one to run in) because installing one would break the other left me feeling like this is some of the worst software ever made. I still think that. I wouldn't even consider going back to Avid. The only advantage I can see of Avid over the other systems is their media management, which is far superior to anyone else's. That's why it's so popular among filmmakers and producers of episodic television shows, since editing those kinds of projects is so highly collaborative. But for 95 percent of people who work as a "professional" in video would be far better off -- and will work faster -- using something else. Me? I prefer Final Cut Pro. That's where I went when I switched from Avid, and I weathered the storm when they went from Final Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X, when many people bailed. I stayed with it, and I'm glad I did.
Was that really the case with media composer and protools? Wow. Thankfully, it’s no longer the case and hasn’t been for a while. Though you still have to install and uninstall the two the right way.
It's so fun to see him struggle when you know Avid MC :D
Nice video. I would say if you’re serious about color grading for broadcast or film then Baselight is the way to go. There’s a plug-in for Avid and Nike which has 85% of the tools from the turnkey system. Resolve, FCPX, Premiere is ok for the one-man-army broadcaster creating their own videos but to have a career in the field of broadcast and film Avid and Baselight all the way.
Not true. Films like Deadpool 2 and the Golden Circle have and shows like walking dead have used DaVinci Resolve for editing. Resolve is not a one man Tool. That idea is so wrong and only old Avid users think that way cause they feel threatened, I believe. I was an avid, Avid user (pun intended) but since I discoverd DR and it's possibilites as well as working in teams on same projects it just blew my mind away. And I do know the capabilites with Avid, but I started to prefer DaVinci
Correction...Dirk westervelt edited Deadpool 2, and Eddie Hamilton edited the golden circle...both are edited on Avid but only colored them on resolve ...but it's true tho u can edit with whatever you like as tools are tools....I've been using all, and there are pro cons of each and it depends on your workflow...
I cut on Avid for nearly 15 years before a 6 year break. Hunt and peck is not really the best way to learn it. It helps to remember Avid was developed as a purpose-built film editing tool. While others have wondered into that arena in the past few years, Avid never left, and have only recently begun to temper their interface to appeal to the FCP/PP crowd. I wish you had done this video with a version 4-ish or so, before the smart tool let you soil your timeline with the dust from dragging clips around like a madman.... Back in the day when you had to be aware that the direction you lassoed clips affected what you could do with them once selected. I learned all that cutting corporate video, and it made me a better, more organized editor. Not to mention, it kept carpal tunnel at bay to actually think about what you were doing rather than just winging it, hoping for the magic to happen on the next torturous drag.
I think one of the most awesome things about MC is its stability (on the _right_ hardware). After losing 60+ hours of editing twice on an early Premiere system, the Avid really became the shining star of our suites. I can't recall ever losing a sequence thanks to the Attic. And color correction is a joy (Resolve notwithstanding... that's another purpose-built kit).
Also, the Avid community is _awesome_. I've not encountered anyone laughing or condescending to newbies. If you are serious about getting work done (especially paying work) you *will* be told more than once to adhere to Avid's somewhat stringent guidelines for "approved systems". They have loosened the leash a bit regarding what the software runs on, but it's still good advice.
Once you learn the basics and customize your shortcuts and colors I think you will see the appeal. I guess my challenge now is to figure some Resolve and/or Premiere out, but I'm not letting go of Media Composer.
So, I downloaded this software weeks ago and did the very same things shown here. Once I got past the how to load in my videos I got stuck on how to add titles. Two days of trying to figure out why I can't see the text and eureka. I can now upload my CZcams piano videos matching the protools audio to the camera video, creating basic text and gleefully watch the rendering process for a 4 min video take 1 minute to process after waiting 45 min with my final cut express from 2008 Mac Pro. I admit I'm not going to be a media tech but for now I'm happy with this FREE version and as I progress may possibly go for the full tilt software if I get some business. I might do a video showing everything I've learned from videos like this one to at least get a project out of the camera and posted on youtube. Thank you sir it was a pleasure watching me through your video.
Glad you got titles figured out! reading comments from other Avid users it definitely seems like it’s a great program that just needs to be figured out and is totally different than all over NLEs haha
10 years ago I switched to Avid for a day then told WTH is that! I don't wanna industry standard, today I reinstalled it after 10 years and still have the same feeling.jeez ! Who the hell designed this software? Working with Avid is just a pain in ass! 😭😆
Btw, what speakers do you use? I want good sounds , yet affordable speakers
This was really fun to watch. xD I didnt know what Avid was before I started my apprenticeship in 2018. I had a boss who hated and I mean "HATED" Premiere lol. So he took me as his padawan and he made me to a Jedi in two years, and now am I loving Avid. Not sooo keen on the Avid Ultimate and really the updates since 2019 tho. I like both Premiere and Avid but they are useful for very different projects. Like for example I like using Premiere on music videos where I would need many effects and such, but when it comes to clean editing like a short film would I always want to cut in Avid because off the keybinds and "editing" functions you can do in Avid compare to other programs. Anyways, keep up the work! :)
Not sure if you know the history of Avid or not. It was the first seriously useable NLE for professional editors (Film and Television). It combined film and video editing concepts, practices and lingo to create the terminology it now uses. For example, when editing film we always hung our actual film strips in big film bins. The term "bin" comes from film editing. In and out points and "source/record" editing all come from linear video editing. Most NLE software today is based on the foundation created by Avid. You were correct when toward the end of your video you described it as a "language" because that's what it is. When FCP came out, I had difficulty using it because, although it did the same things, it did them differently. It wasn't until FCP 3 (or maybe 4) when you could finally map the FCP keyboard that I was able to use FCP and that's because I could map all the functions I needed to the same keys I was familiar with in Avid. It's the same for Premiere Pro. If I can make it function like an Avid, I can cut with it. If I can't, like you, I'd fumble around because it's like trying to learn another language. That said, the inverse is true. You can map your keyboard within the Avid to function like any NLE you're familiar with. Once you do that, you should be good to go.
being an avid editor for over 20 years i was laughing my as off!!!! avid sure is a diva, and it certainly is intimidating in the beginning. it has a slower learning curve, since it is very complex and detailed, but but once you get your head around it, you´ll understand that it does everything davinci or premiere does, most of the times even better. but it has it´s origins in the early 1990ies, and "easy user experience" was not the primarily goal, it was and is to handle large feature edits of tv shows and movies. so for short youtube videos most people might be better of with the usual suspects...
"it does everything davinci or premiere does, most of the times even better." - yeh, until you need to make a title card :D
Sounds like a description of Photoshop lol
Honestly, the reason the industry adopted Avid is because it's still the most robust picture editor, not to mention it's still the best when it comes to a team working on the same project, not to mention media binning and organization, but it's not really practical for CZcams, because while it's the best pure picture editor and the best in terms of media organization (in my opinion), it's not the best when it comes to integrated graphics, effects, and sound mastering etc. In fact, when it comes to graphics and effects, everything is relatively rudimentary. But, that also doesn't matter because editors in the industry don't need to worry about all that stuff since it's done by other people, often in other software. It makes sense for industry editors, but it doesn't make much sense for a CZcams editor. Also, as you mentioned: it's not as user friendly, the interface is a bit hard to understand at first glance, and there aren't as many resources for learning.
If you're a CZcams editor looking to get into the industry, I'd suggest learning Avid, but also focus on Premiere Pro, as some shows are assembled in that, too. But honestly, when it comes to picture editing, nothing else really compares if you ask me. There's a reason it was adopted by most of the industry as its standard.
I cut on avid been using avid since 1998, make more avid videos please!
"One Eternity Later" got me cracked up. Didn't see that one coming....lol...Thanks for the video man. Subbed.
I tried so many years ago and gave up for a couple of reason. 1. Tutorials was scares bak then 2. The layout was like you said, completely different from the rest. 3. I hated the proxy thing cause even for normal common files had to be transcoded (for some reason) and did not have that kind of space for it. 3. UI felt so outdated and used different words like I was editing a tape video language sort of. At the end of the day am not editing for Hollywood so a big no for me.
You'll love it after spending some time with it :-)
The best way to learn avid quickly, and how I learned was via editing with it and watching linked in learning. That gives you all the basics you need, and a little more. A few days to a week doing that and you’ll be flying.
This was me just trying to move from Premiere to Resolve. Argh it was painful.
I'm sorry to hear it was rough! We do offer a course on DaVince Resolve and it includes helpful tips on how to switch from Premiere to Resolve. Let me know if you're interested I can send you a discount code! Cheers man
...Making sure I close down everything before I launch the install app. What is it with big corporations? One good thing, I was kind of worried that the Free version was a toy version of the real one. Obviously not so.
Hey dude, great video, always wanted to know, how an entry to Avid might look like.
I was wondering what type of Panel you're using on your mac.
Thanks a lot!
Why it so much time to import footage in Avid? Can someone help me to make import BRAW files faster? I already have BRAW drivers installed
Is the Media 100 video editing software still around??? In the beginning of NLE it was Avid or the more affordable Media 100 for pros. Later on Premiere (started for consumers) and Final Cut arrived.
All of the NLEs have strengths and weaknesses depending on which outcome you require. Someone should make a video ;) about which app is good if you need to edit fast and don’t do any coloring, or which app is good for working with large teams, or which app is good when there’s a dedicated colorist.
@The Edit Place What 64 and 32 bit Mac OS is avid currently supported and most stable on? Thanks!
Just create the AVID Shortcuts and customized shortcuts for an Adobe Premiere and a DaVinci Resolve Workflow and talk about that, cause once you get used to your system you want to take your workflow into other NLE-systems and normally you get frustrated with it to learn new shortcuts
lol 8:06 the way he said "whad is this" killed me
I see the reverse baseball cap, imma walk the other way or leave the venue. ;;)
How is that still a thing?
I have been editing on Avid for about 15 years now on and off. yes, it does have a slower learning curve works well along with After effects, photoshop and other adobe products. I do feel for simple youtube editing you can get away with more friendly App edit software.
AVID you can move to any AVID any version any year and it will all WORK. Premier only allows projects on select versions that Adobe lists so archiving is pointless if they just discontinue the NLE you used and make it illegal to use ever again. No exporting is also unique to AVID via Quicktime reference files. Also you skip transcoding as AVID natively edits with some Sony Cam INTRA codecs and of course the codecs designed for editing ProRes DNX etc. Natively, meaning it wraps it (consolidates) as AVID media without needing to transcode. It is simply copying into the AVID media structure and not wasting time compressing.
It really doesn't take that long to learn it if you find the right tutorial, book, etc. Luckily, I found some cheap Media Composer books (meant for earlier versions of the software) and have been snail pacing my way through the program. Avid was pretty good about hanging on to some of their older features so I've been able to adapt the old textbook to the new interface. I definitely prefer Premiere Pro but I'm going to stick it out and be able to say that I can find my way around in Media Composer.
As far as I’m aware, avid doesn’t take anything away. It just adds more. This means there’s usually 3-5 ways of doing the same thing.
Bro... Deadpool 2 was edited on DaVinci Resolve. What are you saying smaller production shortfilms?
AVID has become way more user friendly compared to 25 years ago
Real avid editors use dual screens not the teeny bopper Premiere single screen approach.
😂Right? I've been asking myself if I should move to one large screen, but I really like having a dedicated second screen.
As an avid editor I’m just laughing and saying “yeah… that’s Avid for you”
I'm sorry to ask this because it is not related to the subject of the video but what are you using to clean your screen ?
Microfiber cloth? ✌
hi Bro
What is your Monitor and CPU Spec you have Right now.
Simplicity is Avid's hall mark. Media Composer has huge and robust mechanism with tons of features with minimalist and simple interface. It's just you have to spend some time to get familiar. Too many features offered by Avid may look overwhelming and daunting at times, but everyone has his own need that he can fulfill accordingly. In plain language, you can customise your workspace, known as user profile in Avid's parlance.
yup.... i'm sticking to davinci
I use avid media composer been using it since 1999 I wouldn’t use anything else I use it for CZcams videos, I know a few celebrity friends who use air for their live shows and comic com streams and Star Wars celebration good times!
Avid is a great piece of software in fact it is amazing yes. But it has a disastrous design and is very counterintuitive. Editing should be intuitive. But the industry and most Avid Users don't want it to change be because it takes time to learn and to understand and you really need months and years of mastering it properly and they fear getting jobless if a real change ever would occur in the industry like it not being the standard anymore.
But saying that other NLEs are worthless is just plain wrong. I do not like Premiere and FCPX but both have proven to great editing tools even though Premiere is very unstable and makes work in groups impossible. The best viable option and that has proven to be a worthy oponent to Avid is DaVinci Resolve. Stable, strong, fast, more intuitive and has everything to offer that Avid offers too, plus it is a great tool to working in a group, it is not only suited for a one man band.
Plzz make a video on how to edit 4k footage in Avid first 2021
I learn to use in school pretty good systeme😊
Your Background Music Making Me fall asleep 😢
That was rather funny... Not going to Hollywood I think I will stay on DaVinci Resolve...
Me too 😂
Watching you do it reminded me of myself 😂😂😂 I got better after that How is the situation?
The tutorials on the avid website are a little basic - probably a niche market there waiting to be taken on CZcams. Also interested to see the "Edit on Demand" service - probable essential in the future
As someone who is very familiar with avid and use it all the time, I probably wouldn’t use it if I was just editing CZcams videos.
The strength of avid for me is media management, timeline integrity. Other than that the strengths are all linked to professional collaborative workflows at pro facilities. Working for myself, for long form projects I’d use avid. Short form, probably not. If I was always working on short form, I’d prefer Final Cut Pro. Not familiar with premiere and davinci these days, but I’d be tempted to try out davinci if doing short form on pc.
I find resolve more of a headache as I've been editing on avid. Its always a struggle switching to a new software
Fastest end to end BUT Requires AE or some title/gfx software. Still faster than any other NLE EVEN with sending titles and GFX to AE and back. There's no importing of you use "fast import". No ingesting if you shoot Pro Codecs. No exporting if you use QT reference workflows. Best fastest snappiest timeline performance. Any video will be cut faster in this environment. You just need to know how and compare how you used to do it in order to realize how it saves time/effort over the entire workflow.
Not Hollywood. Film, broadcast industry .. Solid tool.
this is so funny!
Thanks!
I have a love hate relationship with Avid. It’s extremely powerful, yet not at all intuitive. It’s just a different workflow. For example, premiere pro you can find the keyboard short cut window in a drop down menu. There you can just reassign your shortcuts, and it’s simple.
Avid, you have to navigate to a preference menu, and somewhere deep in there is the keyboard layout, and then you have to open the command palette to drag and drop to rearrange stuff.
@@spanishprisoner of course not, but I have had to reconfigure far more than once because my user settings/profile could not be imported. Happens in premiere as well, occasionally. In recent days, I’ve contented myself to just use the default layout.
Here is the thing... if you want to raise your chances to win and Oscar and edit Hollywood movies.. you just took the first step
Man I just have no patience to try to wrap my head around yet another NLE platform. This was kind of funny!
I think ill stick with Resolve thank you very much
How did you do to be able to change between windows and mac?
I have a external hard drive with windows on it and I use Bootcamp built into Macs that allows you to use windows.
Nice video mate.
Oh man anyone is going to be sorely disappointed by the limitations and hoops you have to jump through with ‘First’ if you’ve never used Avid products before.
Count me in that group 😂
@@TheEditPlace 🤣
Someone in this group said you can’t edit movies with Premiere, you have to use avid. I guess nobody told that to the Cohen Brothers.
I love resolve 17 and have had no problems with it whatsoever.
hii sir....i tried to install avid media composer cracked version in my asus tuf gaming fx 705 dt laptop my system os got crashed and getting repeated restart with blue screen error problem...i dont know why....plzzz help me out to leann avid with cracked software hope ill get reply plzz dont ignore
Why are you using a cracked version - just try the free version or pay £20 per month
@@alvinburrell im not getting trail version, automatically its opening media composer first and its limits to 1080p
And we cannot customize sequences in that
@@harikrishnakumbha83 Media Composer first is the trail version. You need the standard version at £20pm.
Very humorous. This is me with Fusion and Protools.
i subbed on both channels, i like your videos, keep it up
i'm confused... do you have a MAC or WINDOWS???
Mac with bootcamped windows 10 lol
Thanks for that buddy! I now definitely know that i don't want to learn avid media composer😂 so far i will stay on premiere and resolve. Thx again and stay safe dude😊✌
can avid run on macbook air m1 16gb ram??
Not yet.
difference between avid and the rest is in a way like the difference in cinema camera arri and the rest.
I started out with Avid and found it easy to use. That was back in the 1990s when it was expensive as hell. Avid feels difficult to use now. Resolve is easy to get used to.
I tried da vinci and it's nightmare to use compared to media composer.
@@nnnnnn3647 How so?
@@nnnnnn3647 that’s because you don’t know what you’re doing. Resolve is not a nightmare, it’s a dream. But I guess you would prefer a horse and buggy to a Tesla. Every Hollywood movie in the world uses Resolve color correction… So why go anywhere else to make edits.
@@2424rocket I know perfectly well what I am doing. Avid is convenient and logical. Da Vinci may be good for color correction, but not for editing a film.
Besides, it is unstable. If you are working on a project and you have a deadline, you cannot afford to waste time.
@@nnnnnn3647 Premiere Pro is unreliable. Resolve has improved. Avid is erratic with their prices.
Avid media composer is completely keyboard based not on mouse basic
avid was the first editing software for movies all others editing softwares are inspired by him
Dude, Avid is real video editing. Go to Tools > Command palette and config your keyboard (In user) and simply forget about your mouse.
I have used Avid for more than 8 years, and I have to say, that it is the most degenerate software I have used in my life. It is the dumbest and slowest NLE out there.
@[̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡ಠ_ಠ)̲̅$̲̅] What do you mean by horror projects))?
Couldn't agree more.
Hahahaha this could’ve been a 7 minute video my dude.
Shit, I’ll stick to iMovie
If its anything like the Audio world then just use Avid, it does nothing for you and forces you to learn a bit more.
I though you were going to say 28 and a half hours.
funny how people who used not pro softwares like davinci or adobe premiere trying to use hollywood pro editing AVID software.
I like music in vids :P
make more avid content pls
In other words, this software creates only for does have long patient people
Free is worth every penny. Free means it has a free trial. But the cost you pay for lack of quality so far hasn't been worth it. Final Cut Pro or Avid for me.
####ONCE YOU MASTER THE AVID,NOTHING CAN REPLACE AVID......BUT MASTERING AVID IS LITTLE HARD.....IMPORT AND EXPORT WILL TAKE TIME....I THINK RESOLVE IS BETTER OPTION......IT TOOK ONE YEAR TO LEARN AVID.................
Well Avid is not so easy. you need to know a lot. if you know it you love it.
778 like, great video thanks.
Ahahaha 3 point edit anyone? In and out on source AND in or out on timeline....or In or Out in source and in and out on sequence! So Avid don’t presume nothing you need to tell where the source goes on timeline and how! Avid is not user friendly Avid is powerfull! Is like Linux on server space...Im a resolve user whit years of experience on avid from version 3.... Avid is the most complex and anti intuitive nle in the beginning...so many possible combination....but when yo understand, is more fast and powerfull nle! Clip ....in and out press esc to go Timeline put in press esc and press b....repeat....try also...z x v b keys....
I'm working on Media Composer right now, cutting a TV drama, and I HATE IT. I know it, well at this point, but I still HATE IT. It's just obtuse, finicky, limited and clearly designed through decades of reactionary iteration on a very dusty and poorly planned initial idea. It's like nobody at Avid has ever taken a birds eye view of Media Composer, instead just doing the bare minimum to maintain the core functionality on new hardware. I'd rather use Premiere, Davinci or Final Cut in a heartbeat - just any modern software instead of this.
Avid is best, but premiere is more easy
99% of time you dont use edit in avid because you are using in out marks for edit :)))with extract or lift
