Question: Can I use this guide with Avid only?

Answer: While we provide some pre-built Avid-specific filters, the concepts translate very well to working out of other Edit software, when I'm working on a Resolve or Premiere project, I use this guide as a reference all the same. However, please note that Avid is still going strong as the de facto Editing software in Hollywood in 2025.
