The "Other" NLEs Night.

Every so often lafcpug brings in "other" NLE applications and systems so you can see what else is out there. It's was time to do it again.

We welcomed Giles Baker, Adobe Premiere Pro Product manager, to show off the just shipping Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Also appearing was Michael Krulik from Avid who showed off Avid Media Composer v3. Plus film editor Michael Alberts showed off Digital Heaven's brand new must have app, "Loader." And Stump The Gurus, Show and Tells and of course, World Famous Raffle.

Agenda

6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join FCP Gurus Andrew Balis, Kevin Monahan and Michael Alberts 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 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 - Loader - Michael Alberts
Loader from Digital Heaven is the smart way to import music, sound effects, graphics and movies into Final Cut Pro. How smart? Film Editor Michael Alberts will show us.

7:50PM - 8:30PM - Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 - Giles Baker
Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4 software is "the start-to-finish video solution that includes Adobe OnLocation™ CS4 and Encore® CS4 software. Use project intelligence to generate metadata, both on set with Adobe OnLocation and while editing, using features like Speech Search. Pass the metadata through export to enable searchable video and unlock new revenue streams. Use Encore CS4 to deliver your content to DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and the web, and produce output for TV and mobile devices as well. Giles Baker will show us.

8:30PM - 9:55PM - Break
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 food is between $1 and $10. There will be paella for $5 to $10, and the tapas will range from sandwich bites, mushrooms, meatballs, salad, etc. from $1 to $2.50. So bring your appetite for food and drink as well as learning.

Also 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 the new MacBook Pro. DVCreators will be showing off DV Kitchen.

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.

9:00PM - 9:35PM - Avid Media Composer v3 - Michael Krulik
Michael will be showing version 3 of Media Composer which includes: Import and full support for P2, XDCam and RED, Realtime TimeCode Burn In and SubTitling, ScriptSync, Advanced Timeline and Trimming Tools, Multi-Camera Editing and More.

It recently screened at The Santa Fe Metaphysical Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Narrative Feature Film, as well as the Audience Award for best film of the entire festival.
