For all who think Vegas and D'Rack together rock even harder,

greetings from Seattle.

Imagine if you would--

a monthly evening event devoted to Sony Vegas and its Users, hosted in a beautiful media facility, situated in the very shadow of the Space Needle, that this month ALSO includes a hands-on demo of how to setup your Vegas-driven laptop for Serious Better Video with Serious Magic's DVRack?

Here are the specs for anyone wanting to attend, encourage, or (hint, hint) help sponsor? such an ongoing Vegas Users event series.

Here's the raw text of that gorgeous evite in case you can't, for some reason, pull up it's more spiffily formated page. [not quite sure I know my evite etiquette yet]

The current agenda for this second meeting of The Seattle Vegas Users Group will include:

To Kick off the ongoing All Things Digital Audio Series:
Charlie Atwell will launch a 15 min presentation on Audio (ten min PP, with 5 mins for questions).
To Kick off the ongoing Building and Maintaining Hot Workstations Series:
Robert Maki will reveal a 15 min presentation on 'Ways To Soup Up your workstation to run Vegas faster.
and to Kick off the ongoing Innovative 3rd Party Tools that Play well with Vegas Series:
Brad Tollefson will be conduct a hands-on guide to setting up for Seriously Good Video with Serious Magic's newly released DVRack.
---------------------

I'm the Brad in all that, and I look forward to either seeing you there, hearing your very best advice on how to present DVRack (in ten mins or less to a room of Vegas users) , or receiving certificates for SM chochskies that might help persuade the 50+ Vegas-toting folks already planning to attend to sign up for DVRack sooner than later.

What I'd really like from the Magician's is a downloadable copy of their most recent marketing tape featuring Karl (or beyond) to help bolster the five min Vegas tweaked VCS bit I hope to put together showing just how fast it can be to setup for capturing Seriously Better Video. If you've got something in the works that might beat the 5 min summary I'm going to attempt to put together by next Thurs-- send it on.

Please know that the Seattle Vegas Users Group workshop series isn't meant to be the 'last word on anything'; we merely try to present topics we are passionate about and get the dialog rolling.

So help me start a good dialog here, would you?

Thanks for all that have helped to answer my VCS and DVR questions to date.

Serious Magicians or Vegas Users local to the Seattle Area are encouraged to learn more about the group through either Mark Nazarino mnazman@comcast.net

Hey again.

Anyway i can hook up with anyone who attended or helped put together the newly formed New York Vegas Users Group? One of my assigned tasks from last month's first meet of the Seattle Vegas Users Group was to contact someone from the other UGs to see what worked GREAT, GOOD AND GAK. I usually supply the GAK for our group, but I read some of the film-based offerings listed in your first agenda and they sounded terrific-- so... (think Fargo)

How'd it go?

and-- "That wouldn't be your partner in the chipper now, would it?" [OK someone email back and remind me how that line really went]

Also, can anyone from the Southern California Vegas UG and beyond lend us any insight into what has worked well, weller and wellest for your now long established UG meets?

again, thanks to all, and

bestx3,
