November Weds One Seminar at WIFV-DC: “Cost-saving Workflows for Producers”

Women in Film and Video, DC (WIFV-DC) invites all film, video and television producers to a unique evening of tips and tricks, to help save you time and money, and perhaps as importantly, prevent the aggravation that at times accompanies our projects, often in post.

In this two-hour professional development seminar specifically tailored for producers, Jason Osder and Robbie Carman, authors of “Final Cut Pro Workflows, the Independent Studio Handbook,” will use case studies to demonstrate a few key principles that, applied in pre-production, can prevent post-production problems, and save your next project, if not your business.

Join us November 4th, and learn these producer choices and decisions that will ensure your project’s success through post and output!

BONUS!
Three copies of Jason Osder and Robbie Carman’s book will be door prizes, courtesy of their publisher, Focal Press, AND all participants will be given an exclusive discount code for subscriptions to the wonderful online training library lynda.com.

“Final Cut Pro Workflows, The Independent Studio Handbook” rates five stars on Amazon.com . One Amazon reviewer says: “This book should be marketed differently. I (hesitantly) picked it up expecting a very software specific how to book and what I got was a guide to creating and maintaining a successful post production firm. [...] THIS BOOK HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING. The amount of money that this book has saved me is starting to stretch into the thousands.”

Some knowledge of editing software (such as FCP, Avid or Premier Pro) is helpful, but not mandatory, as this seminar is geared to producers & production managers/coordinators.

Jason Speaking at Create Chaos Conference in Orlando

Posted on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 by Jason

As a Final Cut Pro instructor, Jason Osder gets a lot questions that go beyond editing technique; questions about how to implement Final Cut Pro in real projects. Answering these practical, “big-picture” questions requires understanding Final Cut Pro in context with past, present, and future media technologies. The focus of this session is on the concepts and methods that will prepare the modern media professional to thrive in the Final Cut Pro postproduction environment including working with the various Final Cut Studio applications and integrating it with PhotoShop.
