Avid Media Composer tutorial on how to use basic editing and trimming functions. Other tutorials mentioned during this one: Import/export/media in Avid:    • Avid tutorial: Media in Avid - importing, ...   Customizing keyboard shortcuts:    • Setting keyboard shortcuts in Avid Media C...   Using bins and bin containers:    • Avid Media Composer 2019 - New Bin Interfa...   I mention a bunch of keyboard shortcuts, most of which are the Avid defaults. Those that are NOT defaults but reflect my recommended customizations (and in some cases former Avid defaults): E - Segment Mode (Extract / Splice-In) R - Segment Mode (Life / Overwrite) ; - Link Selection Toggle A - Go to Previous Event S - Go to Next Event Up - Zoom Out Down - Zoom In Jump to a specific topic: 0:51 Avid workspaces and windows 1:50 bins and bin containers 6:06 what the various icons in bins mean 6:45 basic edits: creating a sequence, marking a clip, putting the clip into the sequence 11:45 overwrite vs. splice-in (insert) edits 16:40 active/active tracks and using track selectors 26:03 audio/video patch panel (clip track destinations) 30:24 trim mode 38:18 working with clips after they're already in a sequence
