Final Cut Server: Imagining the Possibilities

For a slightly different perspective on Apple’s Final Cut Server software, check out this article I wrote for “Creative Solutions.”

Here is a taste:

“What is the real potential of the intersection of data processing and digital media? How can Final Cut Server lead to new ways of thinking about media production and consumption? What can we make with this tool that can help communicate and understand the world in deeper and more meaningful ways?”

WIFV First Wednesday

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.

Cost: $10 WIFV Members/$20 public
Reservations: membership@wifv.org
Sponsor: lynda.com online training library
Date: November 4, 2009

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out to see Rob speak at NAB. He had a great turn out and lots of good questions. We also sold-out in the bookstore – so thanks for that too. We’d love to hear feedback on all of the above here at this site.

Jason Speaking at Create Chaos Conference in Orlando

Jason — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:47:53 +0000

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.
