This week, we'll look into Avid's EQ Tool. It's pretty basic (look for more powerful EQs in the AudioSuite), so'll we'll cover what it can and can't do.

Also: Build your own EQ preset into the Presets of the EQ's fast menu.

SHOW NOTES

These are the file paths to the Site EQ Presets bin:

Windows: drive:\Program Files\Avid\Avid editing application\ SupportingFiles\Site_Effects\Site_EQs_Bin.avb

Mac: Macintosh HD/Applications/Avid editing application/
SupportingFiles/Site_Effects/Site_EQs_Bin.avb

If you're familiar with Lightroom, you know what Split Toning is: pushing the shadows and highlights of a shot towards different hues.

Who said it can't be done in Media Composer? No one? I didn't think so.

ASC #53: Split Toning

It's almost Christmas and I did the Santa last year. What's left? Snow!

So this week, we're going to add snow to an image and we'll use a couple of advanced options to make it look ab bit more real (or a bit less fake, depending on your perspective).

SHOW NOTES

I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas or happy holidays or whatever you celebrate! Have a good time, appreciate your family (even though it may be hard!) and get yourself out of the edit suite for a couple of days (even though it may be hard!)

ASC #52: Let It Snow!

Starting January 1st, I'll have a new job. While that's a good thing, it also means a lot more work.

So more work plus wanting to spend time with my family now and again means less time for the podcast. Right now, I'm doing a show a week, and I'm spending pretty much a whole day on each show.

I will not be able to keep going at this rate. So long story short: There'll be a lot less podcasts next year. I'm sorry, I know it's important to keep posting regularly, but I just won't be able to do it any longer.

I hope you guys understand, keep watching the podcast and keep posting me your questions, suggestions, stories, anything!

Bye,
Christian

ASC #51: Animated Video Playbar with Marquee - Part II

This week and next, we'll create a semi-transparent video progress bar as you know them from Youtube et. al.

We'll create the elements in Marquee, then (next week) animate in Media Composer. The cool thing about this approach is that you'll be able to change the length of the animation to fit your piece of video just by trimming it!
