Unfortunately I can’t make it as will be at WEVA in Florida at the same time, but if I wasn’t there I would be going there. They have a fantastic line up and the one I presented at in London a couple of months back was terrific fun, great value and very educational (I also one a load of prizes at the raffle!)

Jason will show how to take your FCP sequences into Premiere Pro CS4 and dynamically create complex, rich Blu-Ray discs in Encore CS4, building your menus natively in Photoshop CS4, and even creating motion menus and transitions in After Effects CS4.
Space Digital’s Simon Blackledge and Gary Kelly will once again take the SuperMeet stage with brand new tips on the importance of choosing “More Right Tools for the Job” with Final Cut Pro at the center of their workflow.
MacVideo.tv’s Rick Young and JVC’s Semir Nouri will show off the incredibly simple JVC “Instant Editing” workflow with and show some stunning footage from the recently introduced compact hand-held GY-HM100 3-CCD camcorder and shoulder-mount GY-HM700, the industry’s first professional camcorders to record files in the native QuickTime format for Apple’s Final Cut Pro.
The organizers of the SuperMeet also intend to turn the show over to the audience for an interactive discussion with Final Cut Studio experts who will answer any and all questions on the new Final Cut Studio as well as listen to user feedback and feature requests for future versions of Final Cut Studio. This portion of the meeting will be videotaped and later put on the internet for the world to see.
Also expected on stage will be a “Show and Tell” from a soon to be announced EU filmmaker.
Rounding out the evening will be the always wild “World Famous Raffle” where over €43,000 Euros of valuable prizes will be handed out to dozens of lucky winners.
Doors will open at 17:00 featuring the “FCP Showcase,” where attendees will be able to get up close and personal with 26 vendors and small developers who will be showcasing their solutions for digital filmmakers and Final Cut users. The SuperMeet will begin promptly at 19:00.
Tickets for the Amsterdam SuperMeet are selling fast and are available for sale online for only €15.00 Euros each (Students with valid ID need only pay €10.50 each). Tickets may be available at the door for €20.00 each but it is expected this event will sell out as historically every SuperMeet sells out.

About the SuperMeets
SuperMeets are gatherings of Final Cut Pro editors, gurus and Mac-based digital filmmakers from throughout the world who use or want to learn to use Apple’s Final Cut Studio suite of applications, most importantly Final Cut Pro. SuperMeets are held annually along side large trade shows such as Macworld in San Francisco, NAB in Las Vegas, IBC in Amsterdam and in 2009 as a stand alone event in London. The agenda usually includes appearances by Apple, demos of new products, digital video tips and tricks, and filmmaker show and tells, including an FCP Showcase with vendors and small developers who will be showing off their solutions for digital filmmakers.
