We welcomed Baseline Studio Systems to talk about and show you why you need to be "InBaseline." Josh Mellicker from DVCreators returned and showed off the brand new "revolutionary, integrated application for encoding, uploading and publishing web video," DV Kitchen. FCS Guru Andrew Balis showed us a must see FCP Tip/Trick. The boys from Hollywood DI, one of the leading Post Houses in Los Angeles, showed us and told us all we need to know about everything we need to do before we deliver our movie to a post house for finishing. Brad Wright, creator of DVDxDV and Veescope Live debuted his latest creation, Veescope Signals, a brand new plug-in for Final Cut Pro. Plus Stump The Gurus, Show and Tells, and of course, World Famous Raffle.

Agenda

6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join FCP Gurus Andrew Balis, Kevin Monahan and TBA as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning FCS. If they can't solve your problem or answer your How 2, then you go home with a problem but you still got out of the house, so that's not a bad thing.

7:20PM - 7:40PM - Final Cut Pro - Andrew Balis
FCS Guru Andrew Balis will show us the ins and outs of multi-format timelines, and what's happening behind the scenes when you mix different formats together. Also, if time allows, show how to deal with SD anamorphic footage correctly.

7:45PM - 8:10PM - Baseline Studio Systems - Kevin Wyatt
Got an idea for a movie? Is it commercially viable? Has it been done before? What will it cost? What is getting made out there? Where do you get the money? How do I find the people I need?

8:15PM - 8:35PM - DV Kitchen - Josh Mellicker
Josh Mellicker from DVCreators returns and will show off the brand new "revolutionary, integrated application for encoding, uploading and publishing web video," DV Kitchen.

8:35PM - 9:00PM - Break
Spanish restaurant Tinto Tapas Espana will be at the theater making and selling yummy paella and tapas for a very cheap price. And Sangria too. The food is between $1 and $10. There will be paella for $5 to $10, and the tapas will range from sandwich bites, mushrooms, meatballs, salad, etc. from $1 to $2.50. So bring your appetite for food and drink as well as learning.

Also in the lobby will be HDDisk showing off their storage solutions. Also Veescope Live will be in lobby. Also lafcpug meeting sponsor MelroseMac will be in lobby answering all your questions and hopefully showing off the new MacBook Pro. The break is a chance to hang out and meet and greet and get your problems solved and who knows, get a job. Snacks and Beer and Wine will be on sale in the lobby. Proceeds go to the Gallery Theater.

9:00PM - 9:20PM - Veescope Signals - Brad Wright
Veescope Signals is a plug-in for Final Cut Pro that makes the job of color correcting, shot matching, and proofing your video easier than ever before. Veescope Signals displays the brightness, flesh tones, white points in the video in a series of specialized scopes that are overlaid directly on top of the image. Using these scopes a user can quickly identify the problem areas in the video and correct them.

9:25PM - 9:50PM - So Now You've Cut Your Movie, How Do You Deliver To Post? - Neil Smith and Aaron Peak
The boys from Hollywood DI, one of the leading Post Houses in Los Angeles, will show us and tell us all we need to know about everything we need to do before we deliver our movie to a post house for finishing.
