6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
oin Gurus Monica Daniel, Adam Bedford Philip Hodgetts as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning FCS and FCPX, Avid, Premiere Pro and anything else you can think of. 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.

This is your time. Get up and tell us something about yourself. Ask for a job, offer a job. Whatever you want. Keep it brief.

7:30PM- 7:45PM - ProMAX Platform Management Software - Nate Cooper
ProMAX's Nate Cooper will be showing an overview of the features for controlling group workflow with the new Platform Management Software, which puts facility managers and systems administrators in control of how space, bandwidth and other key functions are delegated, managed and used. Platform Manager's graphical displays make tracking connections, setting bandwidth limitations, and moving server space allocations easier than ever. The software's permission-based controls provide flexible access for users, within a highly secure server environment. ProMAX will also be bringing the Platform Studio server: the first full-featured storage system designed for small video and creative workgroups. With up to 32TB in a single unit, Studio expands to 64TB of total storage to handle on-set to in-studio workflows.

Alexis Van Hurkman will show a preview of the forthcoming DaVinci Resolve 10, providing a closer look at the new version's overall functionality, and showing off a few new features not seen at the Las Vegas Supermeet.

About Alexis Van Hurkman
In Alex's words: "I divide my time working as a writer, director, and colorist. Based in Manhattan, I do color correction for a wide variety of broadcast programming, narrative and documentary features and shorts, spots, and experimental subjects. I’ve color-corrected programs that have aired on The History Channel, The Learning Channel, BBC Four, and WNET; features and shorts I’ve graded have played at the Telluride, Sundance, Tribeca, Hamptons, and Amsterdam film festivals, among many others; video art pieces I’ve worked on have been exhibited at the NYC Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the Whitney Museum of American Art, and San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. You can check my IMDB listing to see my latest specific credits."
