Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid Mentors

I think it's a great way to reach out and help folks in need and to show them the power of Avid MC.

Here's an older tutorial they can access right now.
Even though it references an old product, the main concepts are still valid.

Here's some MC Quick Start videos that are very recent:

If there are folks that want customized Avid MC training in the L.A. area (or anywhere for that matter - I just did some training for USAA in San Antonio), I hope they will consider my services.

Unfortunately, the timing is bad as I'm heading into directing and editing a project while also teaching at American Film Institute, and then I'm off to work on a feature film... all of this will have me pretty busy through the end of the year. However, since the minimum length of a training session is 4 hours I may be able to help them in whatever free moments I have.

Cheers,

Benjamin
