Summary: Required Reading For All Avid Editors, New & Old.
Review: Excellent Book! I have been editing on Avids for over seven years and this book taught me alot! I now make it required reading for all the beginning Avid editors in our company. Not a dry technical manual, just an interesting, informative read. Highly Reccomend it! Congrats to Steve Bayless on a writing a book that helps editors get the most out of an amazing storytelling tool, Avid.

Review: Fanstastic book for a learning AVID user who understands the basics involved in how to make the machine work, but is ready to broaden thier understanding of what it is capable of. Easy to look up or index specific issues, and also up to date.

Summary: If you are a serious Avid editor, read this book!!!
Review: I don't usually give 5 stars but this was a very good book. It was extremely well organized. I have been edited on Avid for 4 years now, and this had some very cool new tricks to try. I will say that the edition I read (third edition) was a bit out dated. It is tough for print literature to keep up with the rapid changes in technology.

Review: I thought I knew it all! The Avid is a mystical downward spiral of techniques, shortcuts and quickies. There is no better guide for Avid enthusiasts.

Summary: The techniques are all there, but poorly organized.
Review: Let's face it, the best thing about this book is the fact that it is one of the only books that talks specifically about the Avid Interface. It sure beats taking the $900 classes Avid offers. However, since they still want you to take the classes, this book has the dificult job of giving information without being educational (the book even says that it should not take the place of the classes). The result is a book that has all the information dished out in straight, confusing prose without a single bullet list or quick-reference section. I practically had to rewrite the book in my own notes to extract the knowledge. If there were another book written on the Avid, I'd say buy it, but since the Avid company owns Avid knowledge, I'd say this is the cheapest way to get it.

Summary: even for the new guys
Review: My first job coming out of art school was working on an Avid system. After realizing that Avid's manuals left much to be desired I searched the net for a book about a non linear editing workflow with the Avid and I found it. Steve's book taught me how to be an Avid editor. I hope he writes more books on the subject but I'd like to see more broadcast technical books from him for those of us who need to fill in those odd gaps when you come into the broadcast field from the creative side of things and not the engineering side of it.
