Take your Avid editing skills to the next level with the Brooklyn Edit Suite’s Avid Media Composer 102 course. This course picks up where Avid 101 left off, expanding your editing tool kit, both technically and creatively.

Using provided footage, you will immediately dive into editing as we: 1) explore imaginative approaches to organizing footage; 2) examine ways of making narrative scenes come to life; and 3) practice crucial methods in building documentary scenes from scratch.  

You will reach new technical heights by learning Avid’s celebrated trim mode and other advanced tools, all while unlocking the countless ways of customizing this incredible software to your individual preferences and needs.  And with more opportunities for real-time feedback and discussion, you will deepen your understanding of film editing principles as you continue your Avid editing journey!
