However, you’re in luck! Kevin P McAuliffe, Avid expert, from Creative Cow recently started a new series for learning Media Composer and Symphony from the ground up!

What I love about McAuliffe’s tutorials is that he often references Final Cut Pro 7. This is very helpful for anyone who is making the jump from legacy FCP.

Were you a Final Cut Pro user and decided to switch to another non-linear editor? Or do you just want to put another software on your résumé? For whatever reason, it helps to have someone guide you through it instead of just diving in head-first.

Thankfully the Avid team has released a couple of videos explaining how the new Media Composer works. Below are two videos explaining how to get started in MC and how to perform basic edits. Avid also has several other video tutorials explaining how to perform a three-point edit, working with audio, adding transitions, and more! These videos are available at the support and training section of Media Composer on their website.

These videos also refer to Avid’s other video editing application, Symphony.
