Avid/FCP 2-step at lafcpug Nov.18 at DVinfo.net

Michael Horton · November 6th, 2009, 12:04 PM

The next meeting of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (lafcpug) meeting will be Wednesday, November 18, 2009 beginning at 6:45PM - till we drop at Gallery Theatre in Hollywood Ca.

(Note date change from usual 4th Wednesday of the month)

"The Avid/FCP 2-Step"

The perception, (especially among FCP users) is that Final Cut Pro is slowly but surely taking over the post industry. While that maybe true in the "Indy" world, the reality is the Avid Media Composer is still firmly entrenched in Hollywood feature films and broadcast television. In order for you to compete in Hollywood it's important to know BOTH tools.

So lafcpug will devote the entire evening to the Avid/FCP 2-step.

What are the big differences between the Avid MC and FCP?
Is it hard to learn the Avid if I know just FCP?
Do I really need to learn the Avid?
And other FAQs

Join us as legendary film and sound editor Walter Murch returns to lafcpug to discuss "what is it like going from the Avid to FCP and back to the Avid."

Also editor Steve Cohen will show us what is new in the Avid Media Composer 4.0.

Shane Ross will show off the new Mix & Match capability in MC4.0 which allows you to combine different formats, frame rates, and resolutions all in the same timeline.

Plus Stump The Gurus and World famous Raffle

This meeting will require registration in order to attend.
