Join us Wednesday, May 23 as we devote the night to the brand new, just announced, DaVinci Resolve 15. Paul Saccone and Mary Plummer will tell and show all, including Fusion and Fairlight.

Plus a VERY special presentation from Director/DP Lukas Colombo and Director/Producer Jacob Mann who will talk about their use of Blackmagic Design’s newest line of Broadcast solutions and how they were used in their latest live production for Cirque Du Soleil’s Mystere!

Also the BMD team will be bringing an assortment of cameras and other gear to show off in the lobby.

***2. WHAT’S NEW ON THE WEB SITE?


Recorded live at the March lacpug Meet, Philip Hodgetts showed
us the debut of Lumberjack Builder. Lumberjack Builder, is a
brand new, text-driven NLE, because existing NLEs are not good
at working with transcription.
