<\/a><\/p>\nIf you’re just starting out editing in Avid Media Composer<\/strong> this roundup of useful keyboard shortcuts, workflow tricks and timesaving tips should help you get to work quicker and more efficiently.<\/strong><\/p>\n I previously blogged a roundup of tips for Avid editors sourced from Twitter here<\/a>. As it was a popular post I thought I’d do the same thing again. There are some really great tips from the Twitter post production community<\/strong> lately!<\/p>\n This #Avid<\/a> feature is essential for cutting interviews. Also, put into ‘Quick Transitions’ bin for speed pic.twitter.com\/46rwri5uZM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Barry Clegg (@cleggthis) October 25, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #AvidTip<\/a>. Use the timecode generator for rough cut notes. Is it it bite or byte? pic.twitter.com\/FavGc0STuy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Barry Clegg (@cleggthis) October 23, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n tip to documentary producers: after an interview have your subject say the words “and” “but” & “so” 5 times each. your editor will love you<\/p>\n \u2014 Christopher Francis (@thefrance) October 15, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #Shortcut<\/a> of the Day: In Avid MC, use Cmd(Ctrl)+\/ to fit entire sequence in Timeline Window<\/p>\n \u2014 Josh Short (@shortedits) November 4, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #Avid<\/a> #MC7<\/a> tip:Use Alt+Copy to load timeline segments back into your source monitor. Works with in\/out marks or lassoing multiple clips. \u2014 Daniel Frome (@DanielFrome) November 1, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n .@MediaComposer<\/a> Tip: Hold down alt\/option while dragging a file into a bin. This will AMA link the file instead of the traditional import.<\/p>\n \u2014 Shane Ross (@comebackshane) October 30, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #Shortcut<\/a> of the Day: In Avid MC hit Opt(Alt)+6(Play In to Out) to loop playback between In and Out Points. #postchat<\/a> \u2014 Josh Short (@shortedits) November 5, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Tired of having a giant Audio Mixer?

Once you hit Cmd(Cntl)+M you have to lasso area.<\/p>\n \u2014 Josh Short (@shortedits) October 10, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #Avid<\/a> #MC7<\/a> tip:If your AMA clips go offline, they won’t have the AMA icon anymore. That’s normal. Relink and they re-inherit the AMA icon. \u2014 Daniel Frome (@DanielFrome) November 1, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #Avid<\/a> #MediaComposer<\/a> Quick Tip: Audio Adjustment pic.twitter.com\/ktYBT4f3fC<\/a> \u2014 Benjamin Hershleder (@Hershleder) September 5, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n #Shortcut<\/a> of the Day: In @Avid<\/a> use Opt(Alt) + C to copy in\/out to clipboard AND load it into source monitor. #postchat<\/a><\/p>\n
