Author’s Tips
Welcome,
Thank you for your interest in this channel about Professional Video Editing based on Avid Media Composer 5.x. interface. My name is Angelo Giammarresi, I’am a video director and producer of 90 documentaries around the world, teacher of video-editing courses and more.
Why this Channel? Simple, because I’d like to share with you my expertises and knowledge acquired since 1978 in TV and multimedia productions. Besides, I saw that students attending my lessons in post-graduated courses had many doubts but many of these due to ignorance of very basic editing tools.
Here’s this channel which features 11 basic/intermediate video-lessons, practical notes and suggestions, and more tutorial will be added in future.
I wish you enjoy the channel news and make it profitable in your daily work.
My Warmest Regards,
Angelo Giammarresi

These flip-lessons presented for the first time, are a bit graphically revamped version of our renown and appreciated course, already that has helped many beginners to use the professional editing software:Avid Media Composer.
The course is also available in WebHtml5 and APK for Android systems, on sale in our Product Catalogue and is available in English, Italian and Spanish.
Why 5.x? Because the first thing I appreciated from Avid company is that the interface is shared among the products’ levels of the same version. It means that 5.1, 5.2 and all 5.x version kept the same or very similar interface which permits you to find the most used tools in products of superior levels. So, learning to use this version you can be sure to use, even at minimum, any another Avid software like Simphony or higher.
In fact, I created this course upon the doubts and questions made by students during my classroom lessons of Directing and Editing teachings. Anyone can use this course because it’s made a simple schematic and preliminary to the construction of a project, from the choice of settings to export the final video. Besides, the main digital video-editing concepts can be used in any professional video-editing software.
You will learn to set your project either HD or SD (we use SD example along the course), arrange your workspace to fit better your habits, creating virtual keyboards to speed up the process, etc., see lesson details below.
