Ahh Thanks a bunch Douglas, the rest of your tutorial is also really usefull.
I'm looking forward to be working with MC 5 next month, some features make life definitely easier.

Glad it was of help.

Actually I prefer Steve's Tutorial to mine . . . . .

Regards,
Douglas

VERY nice. I think I can follow a lot of stuff by sight but is there any chance this series can be subtitled or captioned for Deaf customers? I took fast look and I think it does a really good instruction job, wish I had access to everything being said though. I also like the pacing of the video, too often instruction videos has the presenter flying through mouse movements so quickly you can' see what was actually done. I will be coming back to view this repeatedly I'm sure. Really good job.

Don't sell yourself short, Douglas. While your video didn't apply to me (yet) and while I really value Steve's MC5 instruction videos, I noticed something I like big time about yours. Your videos are clear in terms of the Avid screen display. It's almost like sitting at the my own computer and watching you teach via telekensis. You can clearly see the text and icons without squinting or nose touching the screen. For me the a gigantic plus.

Both have values. But your tutorials are invaluable to people who are freshly converted to Avid (i.e. who were editing with different tool sets and in a different way)

Hello:

The tutorials seem terrific - I watched the first few minutes of the first one! However, I have Avid Media Composer installed on my laptop which does not have internet access - is there a location where I can download all of them and then transfer them to my laptop?

Thank you very much for your help.

Your question is obviously for the moderators and my response is for both you and them.

If no way to download them (WONDERFUL IDEA!) I know a method for putting them on your hard drive anyway. BUT, I say BUT, I will tell you only if the moderators say doing so is OK. That is if they say one may "transfer" the videos for individual storage and use and if so, under what rules and so on, then I will share that information here.

I've spoken with Marianna about this. We'll have an answer for you tomorrow.

Hello Douglas- Your Tutorials have made getting from Liquid to MC5 a pleasure rather than a drag I am happy with

the progress I am making and it is largly thanks to yourself- thanks again

WOAH! all this is free? i would have to pay from the lynda site with this. how is this possible? thank you anyways avid with FREE 2 hrs of beginner training...its is VERY USEFUL! I've never seen a company do this actually......im suprised.

Still awaiting word from Avid on downloading...

Hello, Larry:

I guess the question has been overcome by events - I was hoping that Media Composer would help me in creating Dual-Layer DVDs and selecting the layer break point. However, I have since learned that Media Composer won't help with this so it's back to the drawing board!

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the heads up, Sparky!

Not that I know anything, and i too would have liked DL DVD creation ability BUT I think the advent of Blu-Ray has pretty ushered in the demise of DVDs as DVDs did to CDs and Zip disks.

Douglas,  I've been looking all over for that interface brightness slider.  I really appreciate all the time and effort you to have invested towards this forum.  Thank You.

Scott:

Go to the "interface" section of your user settings. The brightness slider is on the tool that opens there.
