AGENDA: (Preso order may change):
7:00PM: Jay Rose, "Tips for Making Your Projects Sound Better"DV Magazine columnist and local audio specialist
Jay Rose, CAS, will be presenting a holiday potpourri of tips for making your projects sound better. Included will be voice-editing secrets you won't find in the FCP manual, how to build ambiences that feel real but never fight the mix, a couple of low cost or free downloadable time-savers, and a little bit of Hollywood film workflow philosophy that video people rarely consider. Also, time permitting, a classic animation from the early days of sound film.
ABOUT JAY ROSEJay Rose is author of "
Producing Great Sound for Film and Video" and "
Audio Postproduction for Film and Video" (both Focal Press), used in film schools around the world, and a 30-year industry veteran whose work has won more than a hundred Clio, Emmy, and Hatch awards. More details at

8:20PM: Ben King, "Loader for Final Cut Pro"Editor and graphic designer
Ben King will join us via iChat AV from the UK to give us a useful look at the new helper app for Final Cut Pro,
Loader, from Digital Heaven. Loader makes importing easy, fast and organised so you can spend time on editing rather than file management. Loader is the smart way to import music, sound effects, graphics and movies into Final Cut Pro. Simply drag items from iTunes or the Finder over the Loader tab and it slides out to reveal a list of currently open Final Cut Pro projects. Drop the items onto the desired project and Loader first copies the files to a dedicated folder then imports the copied files into Final Cut Pro.
ABOUT BEN KINGBen King is a Graphic Designer, motion graphics artist and Final Cut Pro Editor from the UK. Ben attended the University of Bristol to study "Design for Film & Television: Video Graphics & Animation" where he learned Compositing using Quantel Paintbox and Adobe After Effects, editing using linear suites controlled by the likes of the SONY BVE-9000 series and on Non-Linear edit suites including LightWorks.
As both an offline and online editor Ben has used Avid since 1994 and the world's most prolific edit software Final Cut Pro since its very first release in 1999. Over the years Ben worked with many companies and worked his way up the ranks to become Design Director for The Loop in Bristol, before coming full circle and moving back to freelance based in his online HD Final Cut Studio suite since 2004 to the present.
