After an unplanned hiatus the Vancouver Final Cut Pro User Group is once again opening its doors. There have been a lot of changes since we last met and there’s much to discuss.
First of all I’m sure that you’d all like to join me in wishing our fearless leader, John Christie all the best as he steps down from his role as VFCPUG President. After several years of diligent and outstanding service John leaves us to focus on his role as Vice President, Post Production at Paperny Films. It’s not an understatement to say that the group would not exist without John’s passion, initiative and drive. Many of you will have seen his presentations over the years and will recognise just how much the community has benefitted from his presence and generosity.
For those of you wondering why I’ve been so quiet of late, it’s actually been a year of changes for me too. I’ve been spending more and more time working outside of Vancouver in my role as an Apple Certified Trainer and Pro Apps Mentor Trainer. In the last 12 months I’ve taught classes in cities across North America, Europe and the Middle East. It’s been a facinating experience, connecting with diverse groups and communities, learning about how they use the Pro Apps to support the unique requirements of their workflow. I’ve also been spending a fair amount of time with Final Cut Server — more on that in a moment.
And so to the future. The first meeting of the new era is going to held at Emily Carr University on Granville Island at 7:30pm on Thursday 22nd January 2009 (North Building, Room 245). Doors open at 7pm.
The initial agenda includes the following presentations:
- The Best of Final Cut Pro 6
- Final Cut Server and You
- Just how cool is MXF4mac?
- Final Cut Q&A
The good folks at ANNEX|PRO will be providing refreshments and there will be door prizes from MXF4mac, Larry Jordan, GeeThree and Emily Carr University.
