Publisher Comments:

Expanding on every aspect of Avid Xpress DVD except price, the next-generation editing dynamo Avid Xpress Pro ($1,695) delivers real-time video, film, and audio editing functionality to the masses (and their laptops!) by offering the revolutionary ability to send uncompressed video over standard FireWire cable (when paired with the Avid Mojo hardware accelerator). Big news for serious filmmakers¿and when it¿s time to get up to speed on the most important product in your editing toolbox, there¿s just one place to start: Editing with Avid Xpress Pro, an entire self-paced course-in-a-book from Avid¿s own training experts.

Through step-by-step instructions, real-world examples, loads of screen shots, and an accompanying DVD that includes all of the professionally produced footage used in the exercises, you¿ll learn how to input and organize source footage, edit sync and non-sync material, trim sequences, adjust audio, create titles, output work, and more. Along the way you¿ll unlock the power of all of Xpress Pro¿s new features as well: automatic expert color correction (which allows single-click correction of entire sequences), advanced filtering and effects, powerful film support, high-quality output, and more.
