Next meeting is NOT June 17th, read more...

OK, so as it turns out, the major Apple Pro Apps presentation which was planned for our June meeting has, at Apple's request, been postponed to July. So, immediately I can say there is no meeting on June 17th (tomorrow).

Now, at this moment, as I'd thought Apple was going to be our exclusive guest this month, while we do have a room for next Wednesday, June 24th, I have no speakers lined up. This is a call for assistance in helping to put together an agenda for 1 week from now, for Wednesday, June 24th. Please either add your comments here and/or email me directly with your ideas for available speakers.

If we can get a reasonable agenda lined up within the next couple of days--and that IS possible, we've done it many, many times over the years--then our next meeting will stay on track for next Wednesday, June 24th. OTOH, if collectively we cannot get at least one speaker/presentation lined up, preferably two, (along with the usual Demo Reels), then we are looking at no meeting this month but with the postponed Apple presentation happening July 29th. I will set the deadline for coordinating a decision to be this Friday, June 19th. For those who do not have it, my email address is (encoded to avoid spambots, but I'm sure you'll figure it out):

So, ladies and gentlemen, please start commenting as desired...

How about a demo on audio formats, such as WAV vs. MP3? Or general audio related sutff like recording, mixed, etc.

How about the group's audio expert M.C.? Maybe he could be persuaded?

Or maybe a super-user from the group would want to volunteer to give a demo on Final Cut editing tricks geared towards intermediate users. Maybe include color-correction techniques, or useful plug-ins or other editing related software.

Or maybe someone could go over bottleneck issues when shooting/editing in HD and outputting for DVD.

Just throwing out topic ideas I think would be interesting.

How about an extended demo reel meeting with Q&A? I bet nearly everyone has something they'd like to show and discuss. Limit it to 10 minutes per person.
