The Avid Handbook by Steve Bayes

The Avid Handbook caters to video editors bordering on intermediate who are ready to unleash the full power of the Avid but don't know where to start. Rather than focusing on arcane keystrokes, the book teaches production procedures, the real key for getting a job done. Time saving, shortcuts, and strategies are emphasized, and the author tackles such real-world problems as set up, keeping a facility running, minimizing crashing, and troubleshooting head on. Bayes has helped thousands to avoid downtime and maximize creative time.
"The book doesn't focus on menus or buttons because they change and go out of date very fastIt does, however, deal with the entire editing process and where Avid fits in...This book is filled with common sense." - Editors Guild Magazine
