■ INTRODUCTION

about the variety of Avid systems that have come into play. We’ll include your own Free

DV and Xpress systems as well.

How to Use this Book

The book is divided into seven chapters. With the exception of Chapter 1, each chapter

concludes with a tutorial to help reinforce the things learned. The book is designed so that

you can read an entire chapter in one sitting. The tutorial for the chapter should be done

as soon as possible after reading it. If you cannot complete the tutorial immediately after

reading the chapter, wait and skim through the material again, and then do the tutorial.

In theory, you should be able to complete this book and the tutorials in the course

of a week. The idea is to get you up and going with your system so that you can create

your own videos in as short a time as possible.

The Companion DVD

The companion DVD contains an OMFI MediaFiles folder that must be placed on the root

directory of your hard drive. There are two Avid project folders: one for Xpress Pro and

one for Free DV. Keep in mind that Xpress Pro and Free DV files are incompatible, so use

only the project folder that works for your system. These folders should replace the fold-

ers already on your system if you have already installed the software. There are Read Me

files on the DVD to give you further instruction.

Please also note that there are some effect demo files, effect templates, and other

items in the folder called

Extras. Be sure to read the Read Me files before trying them out

on your system: they do have limitations.

How to Contact the Author

future editions, and any effect templates, keyboard layouts, or other information that you

can share.
