Agenda:
• General Q&A
• New HD cameras announced since last meeting (Canon, JVC, Sony), by Allan Tépper

• Raffle
REGISTRATION REQUIRED - Space is limited!
http://www.tepcom.com/sffcpugmeeting/reg.htm
We'll show updates in FCP software, as well as new hardware peripherals which were just-announced at IBC in Amsterdam by several manufacturers, including Blackmagic and Convergent Design. The workflows will include live, tape-based, disk-based, and RAM-based acquisition. We expect to have VIPs from at least one of the leading manufacturers joining us. You'll learn when it makes sense to use a certain popular HD codec, and when to avoid it.
You'll also learn new ways to export video to high-definition DVD, whether for Blu-Ray, DVD-HD, or the special players from JVC (I-O DATA) and SnaZio, which allow you to burn high-definition content on your current SuperDrive. If you're curious about Apple's iTV (codename) product which was just announced by Steve Jobs, you'll learn how there are more similarities than differences between iTV and the SnaZio wireless player (which is already available).

What are you doing with Final Cut Studio?
Are you going to NAB?
Tickets are now on sale!
http://www.lafcpug.org/nab_2006.html
Great stories exist in our community and the Final Cut Pro
User Group Network (FCPUG Network) will bring these stories
to the forefront to highlight at the 5th Annual NAB FCPUG SuperMeet,
to take place on Wednesday, April 26th, at the Brasilia Ball
Room, Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.
The FCPUG Network is looking for your best work created
in Final Cut Studio. This is your chance to get your
work seen by a full house of filmmakers, broadcasters, FCP
editors, gurus and enthusiasts. We're talking about hundreds
of people seeing what can be done and what YOU have done
in Final Cut Studio. So if you will be at NAB and want to
show your work, then read on.
We will choose an undetermined amount of the best submissions
based solely on how interesting it sounds and on diversity.
Works can be from a doc, music video, narrative, animation,
wedding, corporate, home movie or graphics heavy piece, or
for the web. We don’t care. We want to see what you are
doing. This is not about good and bad. It's about interesting,
stimulating and diverse stories.
HOW TO ENTER:
1. Send an email to michaelh@lafcpug.org
In the email, state your name and contact info and include a
paragraph or two on what is on the tape you wish to submit. We are not accepting
tapes at this time. Only emails from those who will be at NAB and at the FCPUG
SuperMeet and have a piece they think will rock the house will be accepted.
2. Deadline to send your email is April 10, 2006. No exceptions!
3. All email entries received by April 10 will be reviewed
by a
panel of 5 curating judges from LAFCPUG, BOSFCPUG, CHIFCPUG
and SF CUTTERS.
4. Through the curating process will select an undetermined
amount of finalists by April 13, 2006. Each finalist will be
contacted using the
contact info supplied in your email.
RULES:
1. You, or someone involved in the making of your work must be present at the
FCPUG SuperMeet, April 26 at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas to show and tell
about your work. No exceptions and no friends can show and tell for you!
If you are not going to be at NAB and at our event, then don't send us a
submission.
2. Your work must have been created using at least one of
the applications in the Final Cut Studio Suite.
3. Your work can be on Mini DV, DVCam, DVCPro 50 or 100 or
DVD only. No exceptions.
4. Each Show and Tell is limited to 5 minutes and not one
minute more. If your work is three minutes in length, that
means you will have two minutes to discuss it. NO EXCEPTIONS.
You must stay within the 5 minute limit. We suggest keeping
your work to be screened to 3-4 minutes in length. If it is
longer than 5 minutes, you will have to edit it down before
you submit it to us. We will not allow
anything over this time limit.
