Annual Member Showcase 2
Event posted on Oct 11 by Eric Addison

This is it – the final meeting of the year. It’s time for our annual member showcase. Bring in the project you worked on this past year you’re most proud of to show off. You can bring it in on DVD, Blu-Ray, or a USB flash drive for playback on a laptop. Just make sure it’s 5 minutes or less. We’ll also be talking about meeting topics for next year, so please be thinking about what you like to see covered in 2013.

And as always, it’s time to raffle off a copy of CS6. Please remember that only registered group members who’ve attended at least one other meeting are eligible to win.

Please RSVP if you plan on coming, and please let me know if you plan on bringing a video in to show. Also, we’ll be doing our monthly “after-meeting social time” right after the meeting, so plan on sticking around a little longer if you can.

See you next Thursday!

Jake Segraves - Technical Support Manager at Cineform

Ian Thorpe - Sidecar Productions

For our August meeting, group member Ian Thorpe from Sidecar Productions will be doing a short presentation on a project he did using the Adobe production toolset. Also, Jake Segraves from Cineform will be joining us to show the Cineform workflow, and how it can help you work with HD, 3D, and 4K formats easier. If you're not familiar with Cineform, don't miss this meeting. Cineform is a great company with a powerful product lineup, and they can really help you deal with more complex formats - especially if you're working on an computer that's not a powerhouse.

August Meeting - Plugins You Can't Live Without 1
Event posted on Aug 08 by Eric Addison

For this month’s meeting we are continuing to talk about plugins – namely, plugins you can’t live without. Most of us use plugins to help us make our projects look or sound that much better. With so many out there to choose from how can you know which fits your workflow best? Which is worth your hard earned money?

The goal for this meeting is to make it more interactive than most. If you’ve got a favorite plugin that you can’t live without, share it with the group. You can bring in a short project (or clip from longer project) where you’ve used it, or you can bring in your laptop and show us a short demo of how it works. The goal is to make this as interactive as possible – let’s learn from each other. All plugins are welcome so long as they work in Premiere Pro or After Effects - so if you use something in another NLE, you can still share it so long as it works with 

Let me know if you want to share, and what it is you’ll be sharing.

We’ll do our monthly troubleshooting session, and we’ll be having our monthly raffle. Someone will be winning a copy of Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Looks 2 and a $500 gift certificate for Artbeats! 

Please RSVP if you plan on attending, and if you plan on attending think about what your favorite plugin is.

February Meeting 3
Event posted on Feb 01 by Eric Addison

The Group...

I thought it might be fun and cathartic if we could talk about projects that drove us to our limits. How did we handle clients, what kind of creative solutions did we use to overcome problems, how did the projects turn out.

If you can, bring in something on a laptop or DVD or bring your project on a hard drive, we can open it up in Premiere Pro and you can show your work and how you worked your magic.

I'll have my laptop with CS4 if you want to bring a full project and show it.

Please let me know if you want to show something, and be sure to have some stories.

February Meeting 2
Event posted on Feb 07 by Eric Addison

For this meeting, our own Rick Horwath will be presenting, and he'll be showing how he uses Lightwave 3D to create 3D animations for his projects. Also, we'll be talking about time-remapping, and how to use that function. And we'll also have our monthly Q&A session.

Have you worked on something recently that you want to share with the group? If so, let me know!

See you at the meeting!

February Meeting - Footage Ingest and Project Organization 1
Event posted on Feb 14 by Eric Addison

Last month we talked all about cameras, and got some great tips on shooting better video. But after you’ve shot your video, it’s time to edit. The way you set up your project can either make your editing experience easy and fluid, or it can make your job miserable and frustrating. This month, we’ll talk about ways to get your footage ingested, tips on setting up a project folder, and ways to handle all the media and project related files. We’ll look in depth at Prelude, and how it can help you ingest and organize for footage before you even open up Premiere Pro. We’ll also talk about file and folder organization so that when you open up that three year old project, everything connects and you’re not hunting for missing files.

We’ll do our monthly troubleshooting session, and have some cool stuff to raffle off as well. And we’ll have our “post-meeting debrief” as well.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending...and please try and do it while the group site is up. :)
