Took place: Saturday, March 20, 2004

Whether you are a Director, UPM, Assistant or Associate Director, Technical Coordinator or Stage Manager working in digital, video or film formats, a thorough understanding of the post-production process and non-linear editing will enhance your effectiveness and marketability in the fast-changing world of television production.

AVID Technology Representative Barry Nulman will guide you across the Digital Divide and familiarize you with the latest Avid products, including Avid Xpress Pro, Avid Xpress DV, and Avid Media Composer Adrenaline, for multi-camera, single camera and hybrid applications. See the editing process broken down in accessible terms, using clips from current shows, with commentary from directors and team members involved in the productions.

Shorter schedules and tighter budgets demand a working knowledge of quickly evolving technologies. Avid editing systems are the industry standard, so find out what your Avid editor needs from you and the many ways you can benefit from getting familiar with Avid's creative toolkit:

• Directors - Learn what you need in post for greater flexibility and more creative choices on the set.
  
• UPMs and Line Producers - Save your production time and money.
  
• Assistant Directors and Stage Managers - Understand post-production needs to help you run your stage more effectively.
  
• Associate Directors and Technical Coordinators - Help the director get the right coverage for post-production.

During the break, members will have the opportunity to meet with reps from Avid training facilities and sign up for special, hands-on, introductory classes offered to DGA members at discounted rates.
