Re: [Avid-L2] Where is a good place to learn how to do motion graphics within Media Composer?

I agree completely. I was trying to be nice.

Avid is best-of-breed at straight cutting, trimming, media management and collaboration.

Effects are 15 years out of date. Color correction is 10 years out of date. Audio is weak (which is sad with the longtime ownership of ProTools).

In the old "paradigm" these are things that would be outsourced to another creative professional. But now, you gotta have it in the box.

That said, Adobe and FCP also really farm this out to other apps in the suite.

Hey, there's always DS! :-)
