Karl Soule, Adobe Technical Evangelist North America,

 "Whats new in Production Premium CS5.5"


Philip Hodgetts, Entrepreneur, Final Cut Pro Editor, Trainer, Author, Developer. Founder of Digital Production Buzz, and Intelligent Assistance :

Philip will focus on techniques and tools for taking the boring out of documentary post production. As well as demonstrating his company's software for building fast first cuts using log notes - First Cuts  - and how to use any type of transcript to efficiently edit video with their prEdit software, he will also demonstrate some techniques for faster logging in Final Cut Pro 7 and how Final Cut Pro X dramatically changes logging and editing workflow for the better.


Mary Poplin: Imagineer Systems: Mary Poplin is an experienced visual effects artist and has worked on major 3D Hollywood feature films such as The Last Airbender, Gullivers Travels, and Jackass 3D. As Imagineer Systems' west coast product specialist, Mary consults with studios and provides hands on training to help evangelize  the power of mocha and planar tracking. 


About mocha Pro:
Leveraging over 8 years of research and development, mocha Pro delivers the planar tracking and rotoscoping tools from award winning mocha, adds tools for wire removal, clean plate generation, lens distortion correction and mesh warping, to deliver an all-in-one VFX tool set. 

mocha Pro is designed to complement any editing, compositing and finishing environment, and offers digital media artists a powerful, intuitive and innovative planar tracking-based solution with a streamlined interface, accelerated workflow and the power to easily manipulate and track shots not possible with traditional solutions.

SF Cutters: www.sfcutters.org



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.
