The next meeting of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (lafcpug) will be Wednesday, October 25, at the Gallery Theatre in Hollywood beginning at 6:45PM. It will be “From FCP to the Web” night, where we hope to show you everything you need to know about getting your movies onto the web so that they not only look good but play good.
Booked so far are FCP and Compression Guru, Philip Hodgetts who will show us a number of “Compression Recipes.” so you don’t have to guess. Also set to appear will be Dan DiPola who will discuss what tools and techniques the "Big Boys"(such as the folks who do those movie trailers on Apple) use to produce the results they do.
Also appearing are Brian Gary, author of the upcoming book “Compressor Quick Reference Guide.” Brian will show us how to export a widescreen movie to the web without those annoying black bars.
And if that is not enough Emmy award winning editor Michael Friedman ("Amazing Race," "Laguna Beach," "The Sureal Life") will talk about the path from being on the 'outside' to moving up the food chain to a Emmy winning network show. - Including - how to get hired - do you need a reel? - getting asked back - who to call - etc.
Plus we will have another round of Stump the Gurus, Show and Tells, and of course World Famous Raffle, with this month prizes totaling over $3,000.00
This meeting is open to the public. Seating is first come, first seated
A $5.00 donation will be respectfully requested at the door.
