Avid video editing systems used to be the sole domain of high-end professionals working in film and broadcast environments that could afford the hefty price tag. But with the release of Avid Xpress DV 3.5 (with a list price under $2,000), you can edit your film festival candidates with virtually the same high-end editing software that the pros use. Creating Graphics for Avid Xpress DV 3.5 with Adobe Photoshop uses detailed step-by-step instructions, illustrated with screenshots and reinforced with end-of-chapter review questions and exercises, to show you how to create video-ready Photoshop graphics for use in your Avid projects. The training experts at Avid offer clear, concise explanations to show you how to create and use still graphics, alpha channels, layer styles, and actions, and more. A cross-platform companion CD-ROM includes all of the project files, graphics, and media used in the book so that you can start creating graphics immediately.
