Welcome Orlando Post Professionals!

Welcome to Central Florida's home for film and video post production professionals. We are an informal organization of working editors, dedicated to fostering community and building our craft.

Our meetings are open to anyone in the production or post field. Meetings are scheduled on a quarterly basis and usually held at Adrenaline Films or other locations in the greater Orlando area. The topics will be of special interest to Avid and Final Cut users, but we cover a wide range of subjects, so there's always something to learn. Meeting notices are sent via e-mail, so please contact us to be added to the mailing list.

As always, we welcome any suggestions to improve the meetings, our organization or this website.

Best Picks from NAB 2008

Oliver Peters' favorite Top 10 picks from NAB:

1. Laird Telemedia LairdShareHD storage. Best shared storage solution for the small boutique. Plug & play over Gig-E. Plus works well with Final Cut Server.
   
   
2. GridIron Software Flow. An asset tracking software for creatives. Maps asset relationships and file locations by looking inside various creative project file types and tracking links and changes, including After Effects comps, layered Photoshop files and Final Cut Pro projects.
   
   
3. Quantel Compass Training. Quantel's free online system to learn their interface. Plus you get a fully working version of their software for free.
   
   
4. Avid's new DX product line. Revitalizes the Avid offerings with new hardware and a rewritten effects engine.
   
   
5. Assimilate SCRATCH-Cine. The first high-end DI tool at an affordable price, which is specifically optimized for RED's .R3D file format.
   
   
6. Sony - the growing ecosystem around XDCAM-HD and SxS cards (used in the EX1 and new EX3).
   
7. Panasonic - the growing ecosystem around the P2 cards.
   
   
8. Panasonic's 3000, 2700 and 3700 cameras and the quality of the new AVC-Intra codec.
   
   
9. Blackmagic Design's Videohub. A truly amazing router at a super low price.
   
   
10. My perennial plug-in favorites: Noise Industries FxFactory Pro, Red Giant Software Magic Bullet Looks and Automatic Duck.

And from Bob Zelin:

"NAB was amazing this year, and it is hard for me to make the "top pick", as it entails multiple pieces to make up the MetaLan system SAN storage system, but the Blackmagic Design 72x144 HD-SDI router for $14,995 was absolutely amazing, and the Blackmagic h.264 real time hardware encoder for $119 was amazing as well. Blackmagic understands the need for essential equipment at rock bottom prices. The Red Scarlet will change the low end market. Cheap and amazing is a good combination - especially for Orlando. Oooh - as I just glanced thru my notes - the Areca 1680 SAS/SATA host card, that runs 128 SATA drives was pretty mind blowing. 128 Terabytes on one FCP system (or cheap shared storage system). Oh yea ! The Tektronix WVR-5000 is the cheapest HD waveform monitor on the market (between $5000 - $6000)."
