Intermediate? Perhaps not... (0/0 people found this helpful)
As an expereinced video editor (from the days of the CMX3600 to Premiere Pro) I bought this to get a handle on Avid. While the basics are spelled out in detail, and Mr. Kauffman goes into editing theory, this book is not that much help with working out the quirkier aspects of Avid. As it moves into discussion on the more advanced aspects of editing it assumes that we have perfect recall of previous chapters, and leaves out full descriptions or information on what keys activate what comands. Subsequently using the book as a learning tool means much fliping back and forth, and a reliance on a none-too-full index. All in all, fine for the beginner, but once you have finished your first project you'll be looking around for a further, more detailed learning guide.
Amazing - A must buy (2/2 people found this helpful)
I came across this book when I looked up Avid and bought it immediately. I had read all of the previous edition reviews before I purchased this book and bought it without reservation.I really felt like I grasped the concepts for each chapter before moving on. Mr. Kauffmann not only shows you the tools in the AVID system, but with every tool gives you the reason and purpose behind it.
