Media Composer Fundamentals I is an introductory course designed to get a new user up-and-running on the software.  In this course, students develop an understanding of the video editing process and the basic skills to edit a video project from start to finish. This includes understanding the relationship between media and project files, media storage location, the abilities to create the project file, bring in the source video and audio files, edit the sequence, add titles, music, and basic effects, and then export the finished sequence.

The Avid MC101 course is the first step in achieving confidence, creativity, and efficiency with Avid Media Composer, the non-linear film/video editing application used in the vast majority of movie and television productions Topics covered include: Familiarisation with Avid MC interface Creating/opening a project Creating a User Profile Linking to and Importing Media Creating a sequence and adding tracks Three-point editing and drag & drop editing Introduction to Segment Tools for re-arranging clips Removing clips using Lift/Extract and Segment Tools Introduction to Smart Tools Working with audio gain Applying Transition and Segment Effects Creating Freeze-frames and Motion Effects Adding titles with Titler+ Tool Introduction to Colour Correction Exporting files Introduction to Media Management

TYTV Ltd teaches the Avid MC101 course over 5 days/40 hrs. We strongly believe that cramming the course into 2 days/16 hrs puts students at a disadvantage and makes it very difficult to give the one-to-one teaching and practice time that is so important.

This course is designed for Editors, Assistant Editors Producers, Multimedia Producers … and anyone interested in the process of Avid editing.  No experience with Avid Media Composer is necessary. A background or experience in editing, production, or post-production is recommended. As is a working knowledge of Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

Guide price for a 5-day, classroom-based MC101 course is £999.00 per student. Student discounts and ScreenSkills bursaries are also available. Included in the price: 6 months access to the Avid Learning Central platform Expert teaching from an award-winning editor One-to-one teaching Follow-up teaching and advice post-course
