Event Details
WE are well on our way to a SOLD OUT Evening - There may be some no shows, so if people do arrive and have not purchased a ticket, we will fill in just before 7 pm.
If you cannot make it - just print your receipt - cross out your name and you may give it to a replacement person - they will need to rebadge at the door. Hope that helps.
Hoever this auditorium is limited to 100 seats so I cannot seat more than 100, and we have been taking cancellations all week and adjusting the door. Thanks to everyone who manages their ticket reservations responsibly - I am very, very grateful.
The next meeting is July 21 - registration will start the end of next week, our capacity will be 150.
Final Cut Pro Managing the Edit;
Trapcode; & After Effects
Jesse Spencer: Freelance Editor, most recently of Video Arts, "Mastering Final Cut Pro Series: #1 Organizing Files and Managing Mixed Formats in the Timeline: Multiformat editing for Indies: part one: Basic Workflow Strategies" Multiformat editing is very easy to do poorly in FCP, and difficult to do well. How can you start a project without knowing all the formats? What if you inherit a job with multiformat issues... how can you get back on track? This overview will explain options, and techniques for diagnosing multiformat issues. It is the first part of a multipart presentation series: Don't miss it! -------- Jesse has worked with many directors, producers as sole editor, and with editors as a finishing editor to complete a remarkable body of work.. Here's a a link to Jesse's online demo: Sean Safreed, Co-Founder, Red Giant Software: http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/ "Creating Indispensible Effects, that Redgiant Software makes possible" Red Giant Software, makers of the popular Magic Bullet (developed by The Orphanage’s Stu Maschwitz) and Knoll Light Factory (developed by ILM’s John Knoll), and was founded in 2002 to develop and distribute special FX tools for digital video and film professionals. The company is both a publisher of technology, now including Trapcode, and a developer of its own products, which are available as plug-ins for popular video editing and effects packages.

The talk: I am going to focus on doing some simple effects with our tools that cannot be done with the native tools in After Effects. I will show how to enhance titles with Trapcode Starglow and Knoll Light Factory, add cool transitions with Trapcode Particular. I will also show off how to enhance video you have shot with our new Red Giant ToonIt v2 plugin that generates the best results for creating a cartoon from video and our Magic Bullet Quick Looks tool for adding killer looks to a clip in just 3 clicks.

SF Cutters is the World's first Apple Final Cut Pro User Group forming in March of 2000.
That's right, the concept of a DV User Group, complete with networking, screenings and tech info centered around Apple Final Cut Pro was born right here in San Francisco. Currently there are over 100 chapters of Final Cut Pro and ProApps User Groups based upon our model. We are proud to be the founders of this exciting movement, dubbed in 1999 as "The DV Revolution". Viva!
SF Cutters meets regularly in San Francisco and the Bay Area Jan thru Nov, the schedule may vary from year to year.
