Final Cut Pro X Creative Summit
And now we're on 10.3!
This event is special to me - it's one of the friendliest conferences I get to go to.
Speaking of which - I have *NO PHOTOS* of me speaking. If you happen to have one, I'd love to have it.
My sessions
Color Correction Basics
This 5 hour class laid the groundwork for some good practices for CC. See the Advanced Class info.
Compression Made Easy
Among other things - I built a preset for clients - CBR, a little crunchy + a watermark. You'll have it too when you download my notes.
Just drag it into Compressors Setting window.
Advanced Color Correction
I included the complex color board with a Primary, Secondary for faces (a combination of a keyer and a shape), and a third color board as a Vignette.
Just double click it to add it to your system.
To get my notes:
Sign up here (which is a very low friction, low contact list) and at the end of the signup, you'll get a link to all of my notes & presets.
