Web – Video Crossroads Presents a Special Event:

Duel of Video Editors: Premiere Pro CS6 vs. Final Cut Pro X

This “Duel” will feature 2 presenters, 2 computers, 2 projectors, and 2 screens!!!

Join us for a “LIVE” side-by-side comparison of how each editing software performs the most common and the most important tasks in your workflow. The event will focus on helping you determine which will best serve your professional editing needs going forward and will feature:

• Side-by-side presentation of Premiere Pro CS6 and Final Cut Pro X.
• The most important editing tasks will be demonstrated in one program, then the other.
• Huge door prizes! The grand prize is an Adobe CS6 Production Bundle worth $1,899.00! Among the many other prizes is a Final Cut Pro X Apple Pro Video Series Training!

We will demonstrate the best features of each software. You will be able to judge which software best fits your unique needs. This event was the brainchild of the Orange County MultiMedia Association but Adobe liked it so much that they have designated it an official Adobe CS6 Event. Come network with fellow Media Arts professionals.

July 11th BBQ Mixer Sponsored by PVN and MCAI Now a Celebration in Memory of Larry Goldsmith!

Come Remember Our Colleague With a Party! Bring Your Stories! Wear Hawaiian Shirts! Enjoy BBQ and Music! Celebrate a Life!

Upon hearing of the sudden passing of longtime PVN (Professional Videographers Network) and MCAI (Media Communications Association-International, LA/Orange Co. chapter) member Larry Goldsmith, who died early Monday morning July 2nd, the two organizations were ready to cancel their annual BBQ and Swap Meet Event on July 11. However, Larry’s wife, Olivia, supported the idea that it would be appropriate to use the occasion to celebrate our friend’s life.

Adobe Creative Suite 6 Launch Camp: Saturday, June 16, 2012, Long Beach Marriott, 9 AM to 2:45 PM

Great Speakers, Free Parking, Raffle Prizes: All for only $15 admission!

OCMMA is excited to be partnering with Adobe Systems, the Adobe Technology Exchange (ATX), and the South County Photo Club for a special day of learning. Adobe has just released Creative Suite 6, and the software enhancements are amazing. Prepare to be dazzled by new features, improved performance, and a whole new look to the user interface.

We are hosting two great speakers with years of experience and depth of knowledge: Jack Davis and Chris Griffith. You'll walk away with a great understanding of what the new CS6 has to offer, and plenty of ideas about how YOU can specifically use many of the applications in your own workflow.

Morning Session:

Jack Davis will take you through new features and workflow for CS6. Graphic designers, photographers, and web-savvy creatives will see him take a project from concept to reality, including preparation for an e-pub, using Adobe Photoshop Touch, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Adobe Creative Suite 6. You will see awesome new tools and features in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and more.

Afternoon Session:

I. Main Meeting Room: More with e-pub development and Photoshop

Jack will continue with an in depth demonstration of e-pub development, Adobe Photoshop, and design tools. He'll share methods he's developed in Photoshop that are quick to apply and easy to change, producing beautiful artistic effects for your photographs.

II. Break Out Room: Developing Mobile Solutions with Adobe CS6

Publishing your content for mobile is filled with lots of technical choices, from choosing the platform to the development technology. In a separate break out room, Chris Griffith will demonstrate how CS6 can help get your content to your audiences no matter the device they are using.
 In Part 1 of this session, learn how Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 can help take our ideas to the mobile web and beyond. Learn how to use Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Fireworks and PhoneGap to create native mobile applications.
 We will also look at a new technology from Adobe, code-named "Shadow", which will greatly improve your mobile development workflow.

In Part 2, we will look at what's new in Adobe Flash Pro CS6. See how you can author incredible experiences in Flash and publish for iOS and Android platforms with ease! We will explore the new HTML5 publishing features (Create.js) that have been added, as well as improvements in 3D and gaming.

Come prepared to make copious notes!

There will be one break in the morning and a short break for a no-host lunch. The hotel is offering CS6 Launch attendees a complete buffet, including tip and tax for $14.00, or bring your own lunch.
