Tutorial - After Effects to FCPX LInk

There is one thing that I don’t mention in this tutorial that is pretty important. If you allow FCPX to manage your library, and it copies files into its Library instead of leaving them in place, this technique won’t work. What you’ll need to do is turn off the “Copy my Files into the Library” feature in the preferences.

Tutorial - RAM Preview in After Effects

Editors need to hang out.

OK… I don’t know what I’m gonna call this or how to pull this off but, I want to get together with some local editors, compositors, colorists, and just have a ‘share/show-off/train/inspire’ session. Maybe this is what user groups used to be but I just think this would be a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon.  Maybe we’ll screen grab it? Maybe we’ll web cast it? Maybe we’ll just hang out and tell stories over food and drink? I don’t know. but I’m looking for local San Francisco/Oakland talent that would want to come and have a low key “hang”. Maybe it’ll end up being the editors version of a “Photo Walk”… who knows.

So… anyone interested? Let me know.
