Crazy...Wacky... idea for those of us going to NAB.

Liam_Vegas wrote on 4/4/2004, 10:40 PM

Having attended last years NAB... and being somewhat embarrased when I could not even find the Vegas booth (actually I walked by it several times).... This year... it seems everything will be changing...

From the descriptions and hints from Jay Mitchell's posts we are finally going to have a place at NAB that will be something that we can be proud of. I CANNOT WAIT.

Apart from the special Sony Get-together on the Monday Night I am mostly VERY interested to hear about that 20-seat Vegas 5 / DVDA classroom.

Of course I have the fortunate ability to go and see this stuff for myself... and a lot of people on this forum are not in that position. Some have already suggested that we post some digital stills from the show... but I have a different idea.

Here's a really wacky idea.... perhaps those of us going to the show could use our skills as Vegas Editors and capture one of the 45 minute sessions.... edit it... encode it for the web... and then upload it somewhere... so that EVERYONE can see it for themselves.

After all... it's not as if we would have a problem finding a camera or two and a couple of hundred Vegas users who would be able to do this! I'll even bring along my own cameras if that would help (a PD170 and VX2000).

Crazy idea or what?

Ttravis,

How's about giving up - some of those great pens that you gave out at one of our Group Meetings.

See if you can get any shots of that new Sony HDV prosumer camera (maybe working in tandem with Vegas?)

Great idea! Thanks for doing this. I'm still kicking myself for deciding to go the NAB for the first time in years, and then Sony goes and announces their latest version of Vegas!

This makes me feel a bit better. :)

I too appreciate that you 'guys' will be doing the video taping.
Question: What software will you use to edit the video? (grin)

If video will be avilable for download maybe you should consider using BitTorrent Files.
As many people that would be download the video I see no problem with getting all parts.
Just my idea, it's save bandwidth.

Plans are moving forward for the special video stream of the Vegas 5 seminars at NAB next week.

To further help in the planning it would be very helpful if you could answer some questions

Thank you for your help
