I am a relative newcomer to Media Composer (early 2008) and as I began to feel my way around I got the idea of documenting my adventures by creating short video tutorials, Avid had already a large number of excellent, professionally produced tutorials online.

Easy to do when you know how, but sometimes difficult for a newcomer to figure out! NB. When actually in the "Freeze-frame" pulldown menu, there are many more choices than I mention in this tutorial. For example you can choose "others" and specify an exact length for the created Freeze...

There are, of course, more than 2 new buttons! These 2 are, however, 2 that I have been hoping for.

As usual my tutorial...

This is a follow on from the previous Tutorial about toggling between the source and record monitors in the timeline. Again, intended for the newcomer, it also introduced the idea of keyboard mapping. I missed one point in the tutorial. I should have mentioned that you must select "Button to Button...
