Meeting Details

get from AV3 Software

“get” is one of the most innovative apps ever introduced into the Final Cut ecosystem. “get” will take your search terms, search the audio waveforms in your media file, and send it into a bin in your Final Cut project. This is a must-see demo and a great time to ask questions to the newest player in the Final Cut ecosystem.

Presenter Doug Hynes is a media industry veteran of 20+ years, and has worked for every major software manufacturer in this space along the way, his perspective has been shaped by a variety of roles including technical support and account management, product training, product management, product marketing, as well as sales engineering and support.

MultiCamera Q & A

We were going to call this segment MultiCamera Techniques, but Mitch Jacobson thought it would be more useful to 'ride on the wild side' and let you determine what he talks about. From pre-production to shooting and editing multicamera productions, Mitch has passion and experience on this topic. His highly acclaimed multicam seminar became the foundation for his newest book, “Mastering MultiCamera Techniques” by Focal Press, released today.

Join us and get your MultiCam questions answered!

Mitch caught the filmmaking bug early, with a Kodak Brownie 8mm camera gifted to him by his grandfather. In 1984 he started his career as an ENG-style director / cameraman, cutting his own packages. Mitch became a full-time editor in the mid-1990s, in time for the NLE revolution. Multi-camera productions is his passion. In 2009 he toured the United States with his Multi-Cam presentation and now has a book in the wings, “Mastering Multi-Camera Editing”.


MoPictive Shorts June Selection: TBA


Ned Soltz: Ned’s Toy Box

Join us as MoPictive’s own Ned Soltz demos his favorite of the latest gear that has floated across his product reviewer’s desk. We never know what Ned’s going to pull out of his Toy Box!

Ned Soltz has over 25 years of experience in various areas of production and computer technology. He started using FCP 1.0 immediately after its 1999 release and has not looked back since. He was among the founders of the Los Angeles FCPUG. He likes to shoot, edit, and just generally support and troubleshoot the entire production and post production process. But Ned is really a gear-head at heart. He is a contributing editor of Videography and DV Magazine and is one of the administrators of 2-pop.com. The Soltz family just moved to Teaneck and looks forward to greater participation in the user group and production communities.
