I am now working my way through a second series of tutorials.
Although they are aimed at migrants from Liquid, it is possible that some of the contents can be helpful to others beginning with Media Composer.

This is Tutorial 1 and it deals with the creation of a simple slow-motion effect.

If you would like to view this tutorial at full resolution may I suggest you visit the following page on my site:
