Parking
on the street - please read signs, looks like there may be some recent
changes on late night metering - I will try to check on this.
Speakers:
Autodesk Editor and Visual Effects :
will be bringing in a Smoke system and demonstrate workflow between FCP and smoke.
As part of the demo we will run through features in smoke that would make life easier in finishing a final cut job.
Mike Ogorek; Territory Manager for Autodesk Media & Enter. Systems.
Been with the company for over 10 years. Based in Autodesk's LA office covering the Western US.
Dean
Schirm; Application Engineer for Autodesk systems group. Been with the
company for 12 or 13 years. Primary responsibility is the western US,
but works throughout the country on occasion. He purchased one of the
first editing systems from the company back when it was Discreet
Logic. He was so good at it, Autodesk hired him as demo guy. ( there's lesson in that story if you are looking for work...)
This preso may be termed: "Everything you Always Wanted to Know About Autodesk and FCP: But Thought it was Too Expensive to Ask!" - Every editor needs to be looking for solutions. It is important to know that all the ways to save money sometimes mean knowing how to spend money wisely when using high end systems - know what they do, how to gain access to them and the most effcient manner to transfer your work and get the job done to secure completion on time and within budget.
Todd Prives of GenArts: Plugin Basics, and using GenArts Sapphire Plugins to take your reel, and work to the industry standard - Also GenArts is giving away a full Sapphire License, and we will have an essay contest to choose the final winner

Edit Well: Final Cut Studio Techniques from the Pros by Larry Jordan
Most recently Kevin Monahan worked for Apple on the release of Final Cut Pro 7, now brings us for the first time demoed live anywhere on the planet his new Blu Ray templates for Final Cut Studio:
http://www.fcpworld.com/
Monahan explains, "Final Cut Studio 2009 ships with a total of 5 templates. That's not nearly enough! I've designed 60 new templates that give video makers a lot more options for creating a Blu-ray or AVCHD disc. These are fully animated, high-quality looping backgrounds, not just stills. Also, I've designed many of the templates with Motion content, so that users could create, say, a title sequence or lower-third, that could match a particular template."
The templates work with FCP 7 and Motion 4 through the "Share" protocol, while Compressor 3.5 accesses them via "Job Actions". The templates are localized for Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. This product is currently available by download only, although a hard copy will be shipping in the coming days.

Digital Heaven - "Loader" NEW in SF Cutters Raffle value $49

Drag, Drop, Done.
Loader is smart because you only need to choose the media destination folder on the first drop. After that, the folder is linked to the project making importing even faster and reducing the chance of misplaced media. If you've ever moved a project to another system and had problems with missing source files, you'll appreciate the way that Loader keeps imported media together in a single folder.

Focal Press: several books
"Cutting Rythyms" by Karen Pearlman
Faced with hundreds of hours of raw footage, a film editor must craft the pieces into a coherent whole. Rhythm is a fundamental tool of the film editor; when a filmmaker adjust the length of shots in relation to one another, he or she affects the entire pace, structure, and mood of the film. Until this book, rhythm was considered a matter of intuition; good editors should just 'know' when to make a cut.

Currently there are over 100 chapters of Final Cut Pro and ProApps User Groups based upon our model. We are proud to be the founders of this exciting movement, dubbed in 1999 as "The DV Revolution". Viva!
