The Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet at NAB: Great People, Great Content, Great Event Posted on 04/27/09 under Apple, Blue Ray, Conferences, Events, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro Tips, HD, Mac OS X, NAB, Plug-Ins, Post, Production By Marcelo Lewin This was my 3rd Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet and in my personal opinion, the best one so far. So why is the SuperMeet so cool compared to the regular LAFCPUG meetups (or for that matter any other FCPUG meetup)? Besides the fact that Michael Horton, the founder and organizer, is a super great host, you are surrounded by at least 100 million Final Cut Pro users / editors from all over the universe… (Ok…maybe not a 100 million from all over the universe, but definitely by at least a thousand from all over the US and other parts of the world.)

Future of TV Conference Notes Posted on 03/27/09 under Conferences, Content Delivery Network, Content Monetization, Digital Content, Digital Hollywood, Monetization, New Media, Video Distribution By Marcelo Lewin What a great conference the Future of TV in Hollywood was. I certainly learned a lot and realized that even the “big guys” are not too sure of it’s future. I was there covering it for the EXPOzed Show and got some fantastic interviews with great folks from Revision3, YouTube, Electric Farm Entertainment and even the very well known Felicia Day, of The Guild fame. These videos will be posted sometime next week at the EXPOzedShow.com. [Read The Full Story]

The Adobe CS3 Conference or How to Fill Your Head with Too Much Information Posted on 06/21/07 under Audio, Conferences, Digital Asset Management, Photography, Podcasting, Video, Web 2.0, Web Development, eLearning By Marcelo Lewin What a fantastic conference! The Adobe CS3 conference was a two day (June 19 and June 20) networking, product immersion and just plain old fun “experience” for only $199; can’t beat that! That price not only included a bunch of classes and networking opportunities, but also a fantastic dinner on the first day (I mean shrimp, prime rib, Chinese food and even an open hosted bar). There were plenty of networking opportunities as well, including the lunches and dinners, the get-togethers after the days ended and a bird-of-a-feather meeting. Pre-conference Sessions The conference started with a “Pre-Conference Session”. There were 5 sessions to choose from, including Rich Internet Application for Developers, Video, Management/IT, Photographers and Print Service Providers. [Read The Full Story]

NAB 2007 Analysis: Video Everywhere & HD - Adobe Device Central Helps Big Time Posted on 04/22/07 under Conferences, NAB By Marcelo Lewin After walking for hours around the NAB 2007 show floor and then taking lots and lots of classes, I came to the following conclusion: 2007 will be the year of media everywhere and of HD. It’s funny if you think about it, because these are two extremes. On the “media everywhere” side, you have resolutions that are so small and sometimes low in quality (for example, 176 x 208 px for a Nokia 3250 phone and on the higher end HD resolution side you have 720 up to 1080 height resolution with huge screen sizes. So, as a media designer, developer and or producer, how do you “shoot once and show everywhere”? That’s our challenge and there are some companies out there trying to help us out. The challenge is to be able to take your nice footage you shot on your nice HDV, HD or even (heaven forbid) DV camera and be able to create a Standard Def DVD, a High Def DVD, a Flash website and prepare it for mobile phone, PSP and iPod consumption. That’s enough to drive you mad! [Read The Full Story]
