I received this book as part of a training course with the Manhattan Editing Center in New York City. It was necessary as I am attempting to become an Avid Certified User. Presently, the Avid Certified User test has a very high fail rate - partially because Avid was giving people who were learning Media Composer 6 (MC6) a test based around Media Composer 5, partially because some of those taking the test have used the program without taking a course (and fail to know the in's and out's), and partially because of a poor foundation created by this book. This is indicative of the Avid company's poor organizational skills (for another example, just look at the MC6 interface).
This book is part of Avid's official curriculum for people attempting to learn Media Composer 6 and/or become Avid Certified Users - it says it right on the cover. While the author may or may not know all the in's and out's Avid Media Composer 6 (there are points in the book which suggest the latter), she definitely DOES NOT know the basics when it comes to giving instructional information; she does not use the same terms consistently throughout the book, she refers to sections of the book that do not exist (because she is referring to them broadly and not by their exact titles), and in a few instances gives the wrong shortcut keys for the process she is describing. For instance, a command is described as making the Record Monitor play forward when it actually makes it play backward. Also, one command is given as "Ctrl+0", but because the font the publisher chose does not put a slash through zeroes, you may just write this off as yet another bad piece of information.
I'm not willing to completely blame the author.
