Even if you work in Corporate America, you can still make yourself more marketable by understanding how to use both Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer.
In this webinar presented by Kevin P. McAuliffe, you'll learn the fundamental differences (from a Final Cut Pro editor's point of view) between Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro, how to get organized, how to start editing in just 20 minutes and how to do titling and VFX.
After attending this webinar, you should have a good grasp on Avid Media Composer and be able to sit down and start editing immediately.
