Join Gurus Patrick Southern, Bill Davis, Michael Cioni and Michael Kammes as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning Resolve and FCPX, Avid, Premiere Pro and anything else you can think of. If they can't solve your problem or answer your question, then you go home with a problem, but you still got out of the house, so that's not a bad thing.
7:20PM - 7:50PM - Audio for Editors - Mark Edward Lewis
Join Mark Edward Lewis of CinemaSound as he shares audio tips that editors need to know. He’ll share techniques for both the Essential Sound Panel in Adobe Premiere Pro and for working directly within Adobe Audition. Specifically Mark will cover:
• What can be done without leaving Premiere Pro
• Opening a sequence in Audition and all your changes come in non-destructively, instead of relying on Open Media Framework OMF or Advanced Authoring Format AAF
• How to work with video streams via Dynamic Link — without rendering
• Using Remix to save you time and money
• Exporting directly with Adobe Media Encoder

One true constant in filmmaking has been the reliance on the equipment sitting next to (or on!) your desk. But is this over a century-old method of creating media still required? Can we create media in the cloud and still use the software tools we use every day? What, if any compromises need to be made? But more so: what advantages does media creation in the cloud bring? Michael will discuss the no-nonsense reality of de-centralized content creation, and the pros and cons of creating with your favorite tools in the cloud - wherever you may be.
