Archive

This is a comprehensive page that lists all of the articles on this website and others I’ve written about editing on other websites. There’s a lot. Actually, it’s a lot more than I imagined when I started putting it together.

To begin I’ll list some of my favorite posts. Then I’ll list some of the important pages on this site. After that is a list of all the tutorials I’ve created broken down by software (Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, After Effects and Photoshop) then a list of the Mastering Avid Media Composer’s Keyboard Shortcuts series. Next is a list of all the posts on this site in chronological order all the way back to the first post in June 2014. To wrap it up are external links to post production articles I’ve written on other sites like Avid Blogs.

If you’re ever looking for something in particular use the Contact page (find the link below in the important pages section!) and ask me. Cheers!

– Josh
