9:35PM - 9:45PM - Chip Bolcik- Show and Tell
From Chip:
I've only been using FCP for a few months now, and most of what I've learned, I've learned from coming to LAFCPUG meetings. I'm putting together a TV pilot for a couple of friends who want to try to sell it. I'd like to show the first four minutes of the project to the group. I'm just so happy with what I've learned through you guys, that I thought I'd show a little bit of that knowledge off.
