Topics covered include trimming, audio, effects, titles, color correction, customization, inputting, and outputting. A robust accompanying online eResource features professionally shot footage and Avid project files, allowing readers to work alongside the lessons taught in the book.

The new edition covers:

• Exploring Avid’s Title Tool and NewBlue Titler Pro
• Understanding double-system sound techniques
