## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    If you're new to Avid editing, this is the book for you.
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2014*

A thoughtful and clearly written guide for anyone new to Avid editing. This book is well organized, and precise. There were only a couple of minor errors and omissions, but with a program as deep and complex as Avid Media Composer, it is amazing that there were not dozens of them. The authors not only understand and explain the Media Composer user interface, they also give a wonderful introduction into the art of editing. Kaufmann and Kennedy actually make the process of learning this program enjoyable. Their style is personal, light, and at times even playful, while never losing sight of the goal of helping the reader become an efficient Avid editor. I have edited on another NLE for more than 17 years that was quite different from Avid. "Avid Editing" had me up and running in just a couple of weeks. I couldn't recommend it more highly. I hope some day they will team up again to write, "Advanced Avid Editing"

    Good book, but editing is difficult to teach from a book
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2013*

We're using this book in a class that I am taking.  It has a nice pace, just the right amount of details, helpful pictures, and the disk is extremely helpful because they have really well-thought out examples included.  I also like that each chapter has a summary at the end.  That said though, editing is one of those things that is difficult to teach from a book though, because it is so visual and in many cases so difficult to define why something "feels" right or wrong.  I think this book does as good a job as can be done wish such material, and it serves as a pretty good reference, but still I think video training is potentially a lot more effective for this topic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book for looking up your questions
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015*

This is a great book for looking things up that you want to know in Avid and finding the answers. I've found everything I wanted to know save one thing, how to zoom into the timeline to pick out one frame to remove it...can't seem to find that in this book. but everything else I wanted to know has been in here! I haven't been able to read it cover to cover, but it's great when you have a question and want to find the answer.
