Learning Center
The learning center is divided into a number of sections. Each section contains detailed 'how-to' tutorials for the MIX software. Some of the tutorials are made with Flash and can be watched with any browser and others are provided in PDF format (or both). If you don't have the free Flash plug-in installed in your browser, you will be notified and provided with the option to install it automatically. Depending on your internet connection, some of the tutorials may need a little time for initial loading. The following tutorials are available or will be available soon:
