Avid is one of the most widely distributed editing systems. It has basic principles in common with other editing systems such as non-destructive or non-linear approaches to audio-visual material, separately stores multi-media content and manipulation instructions. Working procedures originate from separated stores of media and projects. The introduction proceeds through working procedures of simple editing - from loading the material into the computer through the rough assembly sequence, refining adjustments, various types of manipulations of content parts to variations of forming the output format.
