The Los Angeles Creative Pro User Group (LACPUG) will be meeting next Wednesday, May 25, for a night full of Blackmagic info. Learn all you can on the URSA, URSA Mini, DaVinci Resolve, Fusion 8 and more from experts such as Paul Saccone, Ronny Soussan and Noam Kroll.
The meeting will be held at the Gallery Theatre at Barnsdall Art Park (4800 Hollywood Blvd Hollywood, CA 90027) from 6:00 to 10:00pm. Tickets are just $5 cash.
The night’s agenda will be as follows:
6:45- 7:15PM – Stump the Gurus
Join Gurus Adam Bedford, Michael Kammes and TBA 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.
