5.0 out of 5 stars Well written....very practical., August 30, 2005
By 
J. Greenberg (Philadelphia PA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Editing with Avid Xpress Pro and Avid Xpress DV (Paperback)
Few books are written by *educational* departments. Most software books are written by people who managed to land a book deal.

Avid's own books is focused on *how to make the software work*. Editing aethetics come from you...not this book.

When finished you'll know what's important - soup to nuts how the software works. You should also pick up the Intro effects and the color correcting book.

In other words, each book of the series goes into how to make the tool work - having consulted with editors, Avid presents the materials in a logical, concise method to learn how the software works in the most efficient manner.

Like an onion, in layers, the difficulty increases throughout each of their books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a very good introduction, April 8, 2005
By 
Algis (New York NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Editing with Avid Xpress Pro and Avid Xpress DV (Paperback)
This is not a good introduction to Avid editing software. All sorts of important little details are left out of the explanations and examples, making a sophisticated interface fairly incomprehensible. I have begun the tutorial several times, and have not been able to go through even the "basic editing" sections.

I suggest looking elsewhere.

This is a great disappointment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not useful for experienced editors, April 6, 2008
This review is from: Editing with Avid Xpress Pro and Avid Xpress DV (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was having several technical issues for a long form project and I was hoping to get some insight into solving those problems. However, there was no pertinent information for trouble shooting my issues.

This is probably a great book for a beginner but if you are experienced at all, you won't find any useful information here.
