8:10PM - 8:35PM - Project Sharing with Final Cut Pro - Stephen Kanter
Final Cut Studio Master Trainer and FCP for Avid Editors guru Stephen Kanter presents a potentially revolutionary new workflow that will allow Avid Unity-style project sharing with Final Cut Pro. After years of training and consulting onsite for clients at NBC/Universal, Warner Bros., ABC, CBS, FOX, and Reelz Channel, on shows like Ellen, In Plain Sight and Access Hollywood, Stephen has responded to oft-repeated request for project sharing with a workflow that will mimic, in almost every important respect, the user experience of sharing projects on Unity, a workflow he calls Final Cut Synergy.  With the utilization of existing Apple systems and software, and a simple paradigm shift, multiple editors on Xsan can collaborate using the same kind of auto-updating project-sharing techniques that once were exclusive to Unity.  Recently presented at two overbooked events at the Editor’s Guild, Stephen will demonstrate the process to his toughest audience, LAFCPUG members.

8:35PM - 9:00PM - Break
In the lobby will be HDDisk showing off their storage solutions. Also Veescope Live will be in lobby. Also lafcpug meeting sponsor MelroseMac will be in lobby answering all your questions and hopefully showing off new toys. And maybe Spanish restaurant Tinto Tapas Espana will be at the theater making and selling yummy paella and tapas for a very cheap price. And Sangria too.

The break is a chance to hang out and meet and greet and get your problems solved and who knows, get a job. Snacks and Beer and Wine will be on sale in the lobby. Proceeds go to the Gallery Theater.
