I love this. Thanks for these tips. Personally, the new interface being more like Premiere is fine for me. Although I've been an Avid editor since 1992 (with a 5-year stopover in Final Cut Pro), 75% of my work in the last year has been PP. I now find switching between PP and MC much less taxing on my old brain. Being able to dock or float the panels is awesome, and saving workspaces is easy. BTW, the biggest thing I still can't stand in PP is the inability to drag effects into a bin for easy re-use.

Thank you for this! Every new show I start, I have to show all of the story producers and most of the editors the changes and it's very painful, so this is very helpful!

Fair enough. I've been on the new UI on my home system since 2019 and while it did take me a while to get used to and it had a lot of growing pains through 2020, I now kinda struggle with 2018. Had my first job in 3 years in it a few months ago and felt like I was working with a hand behind my back as it was slower and lacked a lot of new features that I'd grown accustomed to using (like Bulk edit for example). Now that it's no longer supported by Microsoft, Apple or Avid I do think 2018 will start to fade out though I'm afraid and we will all end up on the new UI whether we want to be or not.

First of all thank you again ! If I may ask a question, is it possible to configure Avid with default settings so that a new project opens 16 bits and not 24 ? Whatever I do, a new project always opens in 24 bits. You can make a template, but with the new version of Avid, it is desirable to do it again every time, which is not very convenient. Thank you !

Will check on this next time I'm at my avid. If there is a way to set it in all projects then it will be in site settings probably. Not something I've ever bothered with since my projects are usually long form and last roughly between 4 and 10 months so setting it at the start of each isn't a big deal. Though if you were cutting commercials or short form stuff with lots of content I could see how it would be a pain. Will let you know if I find a way!

Hi! My comon export workflow, it's AMA Export Op-1 MXF, all the audio tracks are ready, like a final master, and then mp4 whit handbrake, yours...? Thanks a lot...!!! Great job

Nowadays Avid's export is quick enough that I just export straight from there to make my masters. Back in the day I'd use the AMA Export since it was quicker but now MOVs and such all use that same UME engine so the advantage is negated. Way quicker to do it straight out of avid than re-encode again afterwards. If I have to do a bunch of deliverables then I'll export out to a watch folder made in compressor which will make all required deliverables from that export :)

The selection for full range vs rec709 are swapped around in places now. Also make sure you rebuild new user settings and new export presets.

Ah right. Where the smart tools were in the old timeline. So the way to add those back is to open the command palette and drag those functions to the available space just above the timeline. You should be able to see where they are on my timeline in the videos. Any issues just email me at theavidassistant@gmail.com and I can send screencaps or video descriptions.

You could also create a tool palette with just those functions and dock them where the smart tools used to be :)

🤔 What version of avid you on? I haven't experienced that. Though I'd make sure you aren't clicking anywhere outside of the record monitor or titler dashboard. Will bring you out of it. Also latest version 2022.7 does improve the titler+ a lot! It's a hell of a lot more reliable now.

@@theavidassistant Hi, I got it working - I needed to recreate all my AVID settings; I have tried to do that before but couldn't work out how to export my keyboard layout. Now I know how to create a new settings file, export my keyboard preferences and then trash my AVID settings, and reimport. I think this would be a useful subject to cover.

Great to hear you got it working Alan! I dod mention how to bring settings over from another user in one of the videos and in my 10 fixes for avid video I think I referred to that as a quick way to create settings. I always find it safest to recreate settings at the start of every job. Helps for stability.
