Tutorial: Delete from Cursor to Next/Previous Edit

drbgaijin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:23:24 GMT

A feature found in Liquid done at the click of a button can also be done in MC. BUT it takes a little more than the click of a button.

However it is only a question of milliseconds in time difference between the two.

Try it! With a little practice you will soon get the hang of it.

Good luck!

PS. The very first two "tutorials" I posted were not actually tutorials. They were just 2 pdfs with information about myself.
So, to bring the total number of tutorials up to 200, I need to do 2 more.
This is the first of them.

Tutorial: Playing with Toggle Source/Record

drbgaijin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 05:01:40 GMT

I have no specific reason for making this tutorial, other than I needed one more to finish off the series.

Hopefully it will inspire some of you to take a look at different uses for the Toggl Source/Record button.

Tutorial: What Filters should I see in my Effects Palette?

drbgaijin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 12:05:43 GMT

It is quite easy to forget which filters you had originally after installing Media Composer and which filters are new ones that have been added after installing 3rd party applications.

Hopefully this short Tutorial will help you decide if your installations have succeeded or not.

Tutorial: Lift & Extract and playing with the Keyboard Map

drbgaijin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 07:15:04 GMT

A strange mix of information that may not be so obvious to newcomers.

Also an idea about how to get started learning Keyboard shortcuts and using the Keyboard rather than Dragging & Dropping.

Tutorial: AVID DVD Revisited 11. Mainly about Menu Button Highlighting

drbgaijin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:35:05 GMT

This is the eleventh in a series of 12 Tutorials on Sonic DVDitPro HD.
This application is equivalent to Avid DVD.
As the series I am uploading here is a "repackage" of a series I made for Sonic BD Powerstation users, there may be mentions of other Sonic applications.
However the content is just as applicable to AvidDVD as to Sonic DVDitProHD.

In this Tutorial I take a look at adding chapter points on the fly, changing the colour of menues and adjusting menu button highlights.

Hope you find some new useful information that can help you with AvidDVD.

Douglas

Tutorial: Colouring the Timeline - Revisited

drbgaijin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 06:07:37 GMT

It is one of those very simple things that are not always obvious to newcomers.
Also, from version 4 of MC, the way of choosing individual clip colours has a new dialogue box.

So let's revisit some of the ways of adding colour to your timeline.

Tutorial: Setting up Workspaces

drbgaijin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 01:09:39 GMT

When I was getting started with MC I took quite a bit of time customising my workspace.
Imagine my frustration when I opened MC the following day to find that the windows and bins were all over the place again!

Here is one way to make sure this doesn't happen to you.

Tutorial: 3-point Keyboard Editing - Basics

drbgaijin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:48:45 GMT

It is not easy to give up comfortable routines.
One of the biggest obstacles to newcomers to Media Composer is to try and understand that 3-point keyboard editing is far more accurate and much quicker than drag & drop editing - AFTER you have spent a lot of time learning it!

Tutorial: Cut the the Beat

drbgaijin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:56:53 GMT

This is a topic which pops up from time to time on the Avid forums.

There are plenty of different methods to choose from.
This is one way that I was introduced to.

Taking into account that I am tone deaf, totally non-musical and could not keep in time with a bass drum, I think I did a reasonable job.

Unfortunately I recorded the whole thing at a rather low fps, so the smoothness and the cuts are below what I like to produce.

Also included, as part of this tutorial, is a quick look at keyboard mapping.

Tutorial: System Specifications

drbgaijin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:46:09 GMT

Filling in System Specifications may seem easy to some.
But, in fact, many users have little or no knowledge about the technical details of their computer system.

Hopefully this Tutorial will help them fill in their System Specs.

I am not counting this as a Tutorial in my Basic MC Tutorials.

Douglas
