Get out of the house and into lafcpug!

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Join us as bring you another fun filled night of learning, networking and all things digital movie making. Karl Soule will come down and show off the just announced Adobe Production Premium CS5.

Michael Alberts will show off Loader 2.0 from Digital Heaven.

Got Avid jealousy? Need more robust media management in FCP? Want to be able to rename clips, media files and not worry about timecode and reel name and still do perfectly conformed sequences? Wait no more: Matchback Magic makes its debut at lafcpug. Philip Hodgetts will will show off.

Ever had trouble coming up with a montage? Sometimes it's tough to make sense of the footage that you have available for montages, and sometimes the lightning of inspiration simply refuses to strike. XMiL Dicer is a tool that can help in those situations. It will take the shots of your Final Cut Pro sequence, shuffle them around, and put them back into you sequence in random order - all at the press of one single button.

Plus, another round of Stump the Gurus, FCS Tips, show and tells, and of course, World Famous Raffle. Also there will be time for you to get up in front of everyone and say what you need to say. Agenda will be inked about one week before meeting date.

lafcpug generally meets every 4th Wednesday of the Month
Meetings are open to public and ALL beginning through advanced FCS users and Digital Story Tellers are welcome
First come best seat.
Admission is $5.00 at the door. No registration required for this meeting



Agenda (Subject to change)

6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join FCS Gurus Andrew Balis, Misha Tenenbaum and the ever popular TBD as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning FCS. If they can't solve your problem or answer your question, then you go home with a problem, but you still got out of the house, so that's not a bad thing.

7:20PM - 7:30PM - Announcements
Trying to make this a regular part of lafcpug meets. This is a chance to get up and ask for a job, offer job opportunities, announce your film or service, or tell a bad joke. We will also talk about the future of lafcpug and the Gallery Theater. Be brief.

7:35PM - 7:50PM - Matchback Magic - Philip Hodgetts

From Adobe:
Hot off the factory and brand new to the world,
Adobe CS5 Production Premium ups the ante with industry-leading performance. With all-new releases of Adobe’s best-of-breed video, audio and design tools, Adobe CS5 Production Premium offers enhancements that help you work more efficiently when tackling a broad spectrum of planning, production, and post-production tasks. Work on HD and 2K projects with the same ease as SD, thanks to native 64-bit support in After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop Extended and the new Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro. Expanded tapeless and DSLR camera support means you always work natively with pristine quality footage, never waste time transcoding or rewrapping, and are free to mix and match formats on the timeline. Rotoscope in After Effects in a fraction of the time, and get to rough cuts faster by using new Adobe Story scripts to create shot lists, and speed editing by automatically aligning scripts to spoken dialogue. Work easily with other NLEs thanks to round-trip editing workflows with Final Cut Pro and Avid software. Packed with hundreds of new features, Adobe CS5 Production Premium supercharges your productivity and offers the power to deliver engaging video experiences to screens everywhere.

The break is a chance to hang out and meet and greet and get your problems solved and who knows, get a job. You never know who you are going to meet at lafcpug. Snacks and Beer and Wine will be on sale in the lobby. Proceeds go to the Gallery Theater.
