  • Do you want to edit Feature Films?
  • Do you want to edit Feature Documentaries?
  • Do you want to edit True Crime?
  • Do you want to edit Reality TV?

What do all these genres have in common?
They primarily edit on Avid Media Composer!


Do you struggle with…

  • Wanting to make the good money like editors who know BOTH Premiere & Avid?
  • Finding the time to learn a new editing system?
  • Getting paid the money you want and deserve while editing the content you love?



INTRODUCING THE AVID BOOTCAMP!
Learning the basics of Avid Media Composer can help you take your career to that next level!


Double Your Skillset and Marketability…

  • No longer will you have to skip over job listings that are for Avid only
  • You can feel confident that you have the skills to take your career to the next level


    This Event is for YOU if…
  • Are an Editor or Story Producer who’s been working on other editing platforms and wants to learn Avid.
  • If you are a storyteller looking to double your income by learning the industry standard for longform documentaries, feature films and broadcast/streaming television
  • If you are a student and your school doesn’t teach Avid [and you want to graduate with Avid as a skill you can list on your resume to help open the doors to even more job opportunities].
  • Want to be a story producer and are required to know Avid


    This Event is NOT for YOU if…
  • You are happy with the income you're making
  • You are content with the genre you're editing
  • You have plenty of clients and aren't interested in expanding your storytelling skills
  • If you already know the basics of Avid


Read what former bootcamp students had to say..


"Wanted to say THANK YOU for the awesome Avid bootcamp this weekend. It's so easy to let Avid become this big scary thing and you demystified it for me (and with humor and personality too which I know all the other students appreciated)... You rock!" -Darren D.


"Just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you for running the course! I'm the one who asked you on Facebook whether it would be of any use to someone who had been stubbornly clinging on to 2018 version, and I now know the answer is a resounding 'yes'! ...it's not actually as different as I feared, so that's given me the confidence to move forward with it!" -David S.


“Diana is by far the best instructor I've had the pleasure to learn from and work with on AVID. She is extremely knowledgeable and communicates the complexities of the programs and workflows in ways that were easy to grasp and apply to my own work… I'm so glad I found her courses… Seriously, she's kickass and I highly recommend taking her courses if you want a truly skilled editor to get you up to speed or improve your skills." -Tim P.


“I thought I'd let you know that I got the job! I'll be an AE on the editorial track, starting in New York next month. It's been a wild few months that all started with your Avid bootcamp. Really excited!" -David K.


“Wanted to update you on my progress, I have completed my first gig [on Avid] as a story producer… it went great! And they brought me back as a story producer for the next season! Eternally grateful. Wouldn’t be here without you!" -Isabella B.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS BOOTCAMP...

  • How to set your settings PROPERLY - and there are A LOT of important settings
  • How to ingest and transcode media - Spoiler Alert - it isn't at all like Premiere
  • How to remap your keyboard - remapping the keys to where you are used to on premiere will help you learn Avid so much faster
  • How to get clips in your timeline and manipulate them
  • How to properly use the trim tool to adjust your clip lengths
  • How to set your audio for mono split audio and stereo paired

AND SO MUCH MORE!

By the end of the 2 days you'll have the skills you need to get your started editing on Avid AND you'll walk away with your new Avid settings that you can take to and import into your client's avid system so you won't have to take an hour to create all your settings and you can hit the ground running!

Frequently asked questions

Will there be a replay posted?

Absolutely. It might take a few days to a week to get the video processed but we will be recording and posting the replay for all who signed up.

Do I need to have a working copy of Avid Media Composer?

You don't need to but it'd be better if you did so you can follow along with me and set up your settings in real time. There is a month long free trial of Avid Media Composer Ultimate you can download. https://www.avid.com/media-composer and I will be resending that info again before the bootcamp.

Will Avid Media Composer First work for this bootcamp?

Please... if you haven't downloaded first yet do NOT. That will "work" but it's limited in functionality. Choose the free trial for Media Composer Ultimate. Avid's "First" comes with a whole host of problems.
