Join us as Final Cut Pro creator Randy Ubillos returns to lafcpug after a long absence to show off his latest creation, iMovie 08. Huh? Yep. Despite what you have read about it, let's have a look at it and then decide. And who better to show it off then the creator himself. Also scheduled to appear will be Christoph Vonrhein from CHV plug-ins who will show you how to create your own plug-ins within a matter of minutes. Also Philip Hodgetts of the Digital Production Buzz will talk briefly about "Preparing for Online Distribution."
Plus a FCP Tip/trick of the Month from Josh Mellicker of DVCreators, another round of Stump The Gurus, Show and Tells, World Famous raffle and MORE.
6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join FCP Gurus Andrew
Balis, Philip
Hodgetts and Josh
Mellicker as they will attempt to answer all of your questions
and solve all of your problems concerning FCP. If they can't
solve your problem or answer your How 2, then you go home with
a problem but you still got out of the house, so that's not a
bad thing.
7:20PM - 7:45PM - 'FCP Tip/Trick of
the Month - Josh Mellicker
DVCreators.net's
Josh Mellicker returns to lafcpug after a long absense for
this month's FCP Tip/trick. Josh was one of the early pioneers
in the Final Cut World, and via the now legendary FCP
PowerStart training DVD got thousands of folks started and
learning Final Cut Pro .
This from Josh, the King of hype:
"After 7 years of great lafcpug meetings, and with 1,000,000 FCP websites, books and DVDs on FCP, what new technique could I possibly show that would REVOLUTIONIZE the editing experience for FCP users? What could I do that would absolutely blow people away? What mind- blowing demo could I give that would reinforce my rep as the world's #1 FCP maharishi (that's a few levels above "guru", btw)? What amazing trick could I reveal that will literally give full-time editors FOUR EXTRA WEEKS VACATION PER YEAR (but they still get just as much work done). What could I show that could transform every editor's approach to the simplest editing tasks, allow them to finish some projects in HALF THE TIME and CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES FOREVER???
Yes, I am going to reveal my very own favorite #1 Warpspeed Workflow™, called... ummm... well, I would rather make it a surprise.
Sure, after this meeting, everyone will rush out and publish this trick on their blogs, some will include it in their next training DVD or download, and as usual, most will claim it as their own, but...lafcpug members will always remember where they saw it first."
7:50PM - 8:30PM - "iMovie 08"
- Randy Ubillos
Randy Ubillos created the
first three versions of Adobe Premiere and then went on to create
Final Cut Pro. Soon after he created Aperture
and now, iMovie
08. So why is a FCP group showing off a consumer app such
as iMovie? Because since the first NLE was launched in the early
1990s, all NLEs since that time have followed a basic concept
and have been, basically the same. iMovie 08 practically re-invents
the basic concept of the NLE and deserves attention. For good
or bad, this is the NLE for the A.D.D generation, the people
who want to do a quick, down and dirty assemblage of their clips
with little more thought than a few drags and clicks. And heck,
we get a chance to hang out with one of the legends of the "Digital
Video Revolution," Randy Ubillos.
8:30PM - 8:55PM -

8:55PM - 9:20PM - "Preparing
for Online Distribution" (where can I upload my movie for
