Avid Transitional Inconsistency 701A, 701B - Why limit your self to one consistent style of of horizontal blur when you can do it with 3D Warp, Paint Effect, BCC directional blur, blur effect etc. Online will love the additional challenge of unifying your sequence. This will not only increase your offline time, and therefore income, but it will also build a lasting bond, albeit with a 2x4, with your online counter part. Why not make every standard bumper a flip of the coin, besides they'll save it in the other Post not yours.
Avid Title Graphics 803A - This course dispels the "Myth" of safe title. Avid put in the safe title grid as merely a suggestion not as an absolute. See how no matter where your titles are place in offline with no regard for title safe they will magically be in safe title once onlined. Those menu items and key stoke short cuts for left right and top and bottom text alignment are really only functional when onlining so there is no need to use them in offline. This will allow you to have your ridiculous subtitles never cross over anyone's face and also never be seen at home.
Avid Semi Total Conform 945 A, 945 B - Every offline editor knows the online guy doesn't have enough on his plate so lets help him out. This course will enable you to sprinkle your offline sequence with a myriad of video mix downs strategically placed in nests to appear invisible to the naked eye. The mixdown when combined with a timewarp is a much more time efficient offline technique for speeding or slowing effects. Adjusting those pesky key frames takes too much time away from texting your friends to tell them how hard your working and how online is always screwing up your work.
Avid Field Recording Techniques 423A - Learn how repeating time of day time code is the best way to insure closer scrutiny during the post production process. Since the Avid will capture repeated time code on an unsupervised capture with out a blatant warning to the AE and we all know they don't have time to check for repeat time code when capturing why not use this to improve the post production process. After making the online editor look like a complete idiot at an executive watchdown when shots are randomly wrong in the timeline you can be sure he/she will have to go through the show shot by shot and sometimes frame by frame to insure accuracy from that point on. Forget completion deadlines your little production trick will pay off with greater overall production quality.
Perhaps I'm just being too cynical here but what a week and it's only Sunday! ;-)
