I have divided every "colored" header tab into several sub-sections - and
have tried to organize it in a way that a fairly efficient Liquid editor
might find useful in making the transition between Liquid and MC.
There are definitely "learning curves" and "workflow"
methods to absorb.
The biggest thing that I have picked up on is that you
need to start thinking like an Avid editor and not a Liquid editor.
Some restarts in thinking will be:
- Using Qt and QtRef files - not avi
(which export is limited to 2GB in size)
- for
editing. MC is excellent (so they say), but it's not particularly good at
exporting or file conversion. Avid includes Sorensen
Squeeze designed specifically for file conversion. Learn it.
- Get Media Management (Bins, Folders, etc) down cold
up front.
- Learn Keyboard shortcuts - and right click on menus
like you could do in Liquid.
- Don't get too worried about what formats and file
types MC does or does not export, because generally
speaking you only export a Quicktime reference movie and then use
the QT ref movie in Squeeze to create whatever type of file you
need.
There are some options for exporting/converting - still exploring that.
- Don't be moving back and forth to Liquid - just learn
MC.
That's it - have fun. It seems to go pretty fast.
