Nonlinear Editing / Avid Xpress DV + Film Composer 2

Tutor:

Vladimír CABALKA

Synopsis:

Avid Xpress DV is the lowest system in the large family of professional systems for editing video and film, which essentially have a compatible user interface. Mastering the operational logic and functional symbols of this system is good preparation for using all of the nonlinear editing applications. Avid Xpress DV is a software editor designed especially for processing digital video. It works with native quality DV, or in other words, the quality of the outcome is comparable to the quality of the input material. It does not require special computer equipment, and therefore its price is favourable, but this is balanced by some disadvantages, mainly the delay in getting the image on an analogue monitor. The school workspaces are designed to be independent and to function do not require technical cooperation from facilities in other rooms; directly as part of the computer system they include video recorders for DV/DVCAM formats. The objective of this course is to acquire knowledge necessary to independently perform simple finishing tasks. It begins by explaining the system, its functional tools, the settings, and the work procedure - from transferring the unfinished material to the computer, breaking it down, sorting it, rough and fine cuts, preparation of the sound component, and creating subtitles and any possible effects - and it ends with recording the completed work on casette or creating a DVD.
