 Agenda (subject to change)

6:45- 7:15PM – Stump the Gurus
Join Gurus Monica Daniel, Michael Kammes, Adam Bedford and Jesse Averna as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning FCS 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.

7:25PM -7:45PM – The JVC GY-LS300 Digital Cinema Camera – Alicia Reed
“JVC will be showing our new GY-LS300CHU Digital Cinema Camera that has a Super35 sensor and can use film-lenses. The JVC GY-LS300 is unique because for a $3995 price, it can use a variety of lenses (MFT, Canon EF, Nikon, PL, etc.), and can record the native view of the lens using our JVC Variable Scan Mapping technology. It has an easy-to-use and easy-to-set-up form factor that has built in audio and built in recording. It can record in HD or 4K, and it can also stream live SD or HD video to a decoder, switcher, or directly to a website using RTMP. Here is a link to more information about the JVC GY-LS300 camera: http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/features.jsp?model_id=MDL102318.

7:50PM – 8:10PM – “Beauty Box Video” – Jim Tierney
From Jim: I’ll be showing off Beauty Box Video 4.0 which adds real time rendering to the best skin retouching plugin available. So I’ll be showing off some examples of fast rendering, great looking skin smoothing. I’ll be using both Beauty Box’s automatic mask and a feature in Premiere Pro that uses Premiere’s built in masks to do spot retouching on cheeks and forehead. We’ve also got some new video plugins coming out, so I’ll be doing a sneak peak of those as well.

When he’s not thinking up cool, new solutions for video editors he’s in Maui chasing Humpback Whales around and photographing them.

8:35PM – 9:00PM – Break
This is your chance to ask questions. No questions? Then talk to each other. The break is a chance to hang out and meet and greet and get your problems solved and who knows, get a job. You never know who you are going to meet at lacpug Snacks and Beer and Wine will be on sale in the lobby. Proceeds go to the Gallery Theater.

9:00PM – 9:30PM – “Understanding 4K Acquisition & Recording with the Atomos Shogun ” – Heather Williams
