Offline editing means you’re not attached to the duplicate footage. So it does not matter if it’s edited onto my laptop—it is not the final thing it would be edited on.

Online is linking to the original footage.

Offline is using proxies or avid media files.

The conform is when everything is put back together. And make sure it's the duplicate footage, as the editor did

The big difference between Premier and Avid is that you can move bins and such with Premier, while with Avid, you cannot move footage.

The record monitor is telling me what’s on the timeline. (Blue box)

And the source monitor shows me the original clip that I'm using (green box)

Link means when I click the footage on Avid, it's linked to the main footage, which is online.

Command K and L, expand things when the timeline is highlighted.

TC stands for timecode.

The low band is the miniature version of the file.

Add edit is an avid version of the razor blade tool.

Splice in the tool the yellow arrow- The tool will insert a selection from the source clip, pushing the other clips to create a gap within the timeline.

Overwrite tool the Red arrow- The tool will insert a selection from the source clip and put it on top of the other clips

Overwrite (Segment mode) Red arrow: This tool helps move clips such as video or audio clips over other clips, essentially replacing them.

Splice in (segment Mode) Yellow Arrow: The splice-in tool helps me to be able to move audio or video clips between others, which then pushes other clips to the right

Extract- The extract tool helps remove parts of the footage from the timeline, closing a gap created through the extract tool.

The lift tool deletes clips that have been highlighted, but unlike extract, it will leave a gap within the timeline, where other footage or audio can be replaced with the gap.

A button moves backwards to the last edit point, while the S button moves me forward to the next edit point.

Hold command and move footage, and it will snap into place. With the other footage

Command U adds audio tracks.

Command Y adds video tracks.

It's easy to create a speed ramp effect in Avid Media Composer. Check out this short tutorial using the Time Warp Effect.

Media Composer Speed Ramp - Time Warp Effect

Start by parking over a clip segment that needs to be time-warped.

Clip Segment

Look for the Time Warp effect within the Effect Palette.

Time Warp Effect Category.

Drag the Time Warp effect onto a clip segment.

Then, click on the Effect Mode Button to bring forward the Motion Effect Editor window.

Motion Effect Editor

Within the Motion Effect Editor, click on the Speed and Position graph buttons. This will open the Speed and Position windows.

Speed - Position Graph buttons

Add a keyframe on the in the Speed Graph Window.

Off to the right hand side within the Position Graph window, you will see where the clip segment starts and ends.

Add Keyframe

Press the Add Anchor Button to set the keyframe as an anchor point.

Set Anchor Point

Move the blue position indicator forward 1/2 second, and add another keyframe.

Add Keyframe

Within the speed graph window, drag the second keyframe to roughly -50% Percent. This will cause the video clip segment to play backwards.

Notice how the position graph slopes downward based on the -50% speed change.

Speed Change

Then move the position indicator forward another half second forward and add another keyframe.

Move the third keyframe up until the position graph lands in the upper right hand corner.

Speed - Position Graph

That's it, go ahead and play the sequence!

For extra smooth slow motion, set the render type to Fluid Motion. If you choose this option, you will need to render the effect.

An old edit where I learnt how to do time warping which is the effect of things being slow in time

# data[].attributes.body
I added a timewarp for this scene, as I wanted it to feel a bit cinematic, with all the lolly sticks slowly flying towards the girl. To create this effect, I added a timewarp effect, and from there, I have added keyframes that help me move the speed and position to change the speed frame.

Adding music, sfx, drones, etc

Being able to add fundamental transitions, such as fades out and ins

Turning down audio on the sound mixer

Understanding how Avid tools work

Adding buttons on my workspace, such as the record button

# data[].attributes.body
When I want to import audio, I right click onto the bin area, press input and choose source browser. I then choose the music I want to import and then go onto the little clog button and then choose audio, because its music im using I have to treat it as stereo, and then I go onto edit and click onto a1 and a2 menu, and I will probably only have to use mono or stereo.

Mono is where all the audio channels are separate, so when Im editing a sequence the audios will have all their own separate channels. And stereo will combine these two channels, so if I press stereo I can see that A1 and A2 are highlighted.

when looking at the icon in Media Composer, that is actually not the original footage, as it is almost like a copy of the footage.

I've always linked the original footage onto the file onto avid. And the reason I can tell that it has now been linked is because it has that little chain icon next to the footage icon

# data[].attributes.body
The keyboard setting is there for shortcuts where I can assign different keys to different buttons, as this also links the command palette. For example, I can assign the reverse Button to one of my keyboards. And when I press that particular keyboard it will trigger that button to move.

Also if I want to add any of those buttons to my workspace, all I have to do is go back onto tools, go onto Command palette, Pick what button I want and then drag it onto my workspace.

And If I want to get rid of that button, I have to repeat the same thing again but this time, I have to pick the button that says blank, overlap it on the button I want to get rid of and it will disappear from the workspace.

# data[].attributes.body
If I want to be able to use these buttons all I have to do is press the active pallet, which is below the command pallet buttons.

# data[].attributes.body
The command pallet is where I would be looking if I wanted to find all my buttons that Avid has on their software, I find this by going onto tools, going quite down, and then picking the one that says Command Pallet.

# data[].attributes.body
On the left of the composer window, I get the footage of the clip with the name of the clip at the top, While on the right side of the composer window, I get the footage of the sequence that's on the timeline.

If I want to go through the footage quite quickly all I have to do is hold my mouse and just go through the footage on the composer window mini timeline.

# data[].attributes.body
This tool in Avid helps track the Audio levels while the clip is playing, because the footage was filmed near the waves, The audio was quite loud and I can see that simply by looking at the tool.

# data[].attributes.body
If I want to separate a clip from eachother I would press the 'add edit' button which will now separate both of the clips.

# data[].attributes.body
In the panels, there is a button for each track which contains the footage and audio which is the green area and a button for each of the timeline tracks which are the grey ones.

# data[].attributes.body
Within avid I can have up to 64tracks of audio and 32tracks of Video, Also If I want to add new tracks, I have to go onto the timeline, new and then pick Video or Audio track

# data[].attributes.body
creating a Bin map is quite helpful if I had lots of footage for example because its basically a mini version of all my content and whats on there. And doing this will also make it easier for me to find footage.

# data[].attributes.body
In the bins there are 3 different ways I can view the content, The basic Avid bin just has the names, The second content has almost like boxes with just the footage name, And the Third one has the names, images of the footage and also the duration of time.

With content 2, I can highlight all of them and go through them where they will all move by 25fps, And with content 3 I can write any comments I want on that footage.

# data[].attributes.body
Within Avid, I can move windows around like effect pallets, Timelines or Bins. To wherever I want as Avid makes changing up your workspace quite easy to do and I also have more free range of how I want to setup my workspace.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are all the effect pallets which have so many different options for how I can make different transition, colour correction, Audio tracks and Audio clip

# data[].attributes.body
As I was moving things around, I messed up the workspace and I couldn’t get the timeline or Effect palette back in place, so after looking around on how to fix it, I went on windows, workspaces, pressed restore to current default and it fixed my work space

# data[].attributes.body
To make New bins, I go onto file, new and then simply press new Bin. I am also able to share a bin or copy and paste bins in different projects.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the search bar where I can search for my bins which contains all my contents of footage and audio, where Im able to find things quicker, if I have a lot of bins and I need to find a particular one just searching it up which make everything a lot quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
Avid will automatically save the work even if I just leave the application, so make sure if theres something I don't want in the edit, then I have to delete it before leaving AVID because it will save and I may not be able to get rid of it without having to restart again.

# data[].attributes.body
At the bottom of the screen there is my timeline with the footage on there, as I also get the footage of that sequence on the right of the composer windows.

# data[].attributes.body
Bins in Avid are like folders where you’re able to store things, Like footage for example that is where I've stored all the footage I'm going to use when I start editing. I could also view footage just by clicking on the bins and watching the videos on the right side, where all my footage is at.

# data[].attributes.body
This is called a composer window this is where I am able to see my footage and be able to go through and pick what parts I like, to put onto the timeline.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to change the settings around as the brief told me to have it as H264 File, to 1920 x 1080 25p. As I wanted to get all the right settings before I start creating anything

# data[].attributes.headline
Format 1080p/25, Raster dimensions- 1920 x 1080, Frame rate 25fps, aspect Ratio 16:9

The first step was me importing the footage I wanted to use into Avid and I did this by going onto file, input and pressing source browser, I then picked the file of footage I wanted to use which was called artists rushes, I highlighted all of the footage and pressed link footage with my avid 101 Bin and now all the footage is in Avid.
