Larry Jordan was the guest speaker at the Chicago Final Cut Pro User Group. He is a well respected expert and trainer for Final Cut. Tonight he talked about HD workflow issues. I have been thinking a lot about the difficulties of HD for the last few years. At WILL they were just starting to work on their switchover when I left. There are so many choices that it is hard to tell which way things will end. Lots of questions, but not a lot of answers. Larry put forth a lot of those questions, but not even he had a lot of answers. He does have a lot of tips on his website to help deal with those problems for the people who have already made the plunge.

At the end of the meeting they always have a raffle. In all the time I’ve been going to these, I have not won anything. Tonight was different, I won the final prize of the night. It was a seat to Larry Jordan’s workshop when he comes to town in October. Hopefully I will be out of town by that time. If so, I know some people who would love to go to this seminar. So even though it probably won’t be of use to me, it was nice to win something.
