<p>Final Cut Studio, Adobe and Avid editors and digital filmmakers from<br />
around the world will gather together for the Ninth Annual San<br />
Francisco SuperMeet (<a href="http://supermeet.com/" title="http://supermeet.com/">http://supermeet.com/</a>), to be held on Friday,<br />
Feb. 5, 2010 at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center in San<br />
Francisco, California.</p>
<p>Free educational workshops will be offered during the day by Canon,<br />
Adobe, Autodesk and Red Giant. Bay Area filmmakers will have a chance<br />
to screen content in the SuperMeet Digital Showcase featuring over 30<br />
software and hardware developers.</p>
<p>Doors open to the "SuperMeet Digital Showcase" at 3:30 pm, featuring<br />
over 30 exhibitors including Avid, Blackmagic Design, Footagehead,<br />
G-Tech, Matrox, Maxon, Noise Industries, Red Giant and others. The<br />
SuperMeet stage show begins at 7 pm and concludes at 11 pm with the<br />
"World Famous Raffle" featuring prizes including the Canon EOS 5D<br />
Mark II HDSLR, AJA KiPro, NLE software, plug-ins and more. The San<br />
Francisco SuperMeet promises to be the single largest Bay Area social<br />
gathering of digital filmmakers, content creators, Final Cut Studio,<br />
Adobe and Avid Gurus and users in all of 2010.</p>
<p>"This is the first time in SuperMeet history that we are offering<br />
free workshops and we have tapped into exciting content and workflows<br />
on HDSLR filmmaking, editing and post-production finishing featuring<br />
Canon, Adobe, Autodesk and Red Giant," states Daniel Berube,<br />
SuperMeet co-producer and head of the Boston Final Cut Pro User Group<br />
(bosfcpug). "We have always wanted to offer free workshops to our<br />
community and to have these great companies bring top industry talent<br />
to share their knowledge and expertise is a bonus for all of us."</p>
<p>Canon will focus on the evolving workflow of HDSLR filmmaking, post<br />
production and delivery and show how to get the most out of the<br />
stunning range of Canon video enabled DSLRs like the Canon EOS 5D<br />
Mark II, Canon EOS 7D and Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. Adobe will provide<br />
beginning and advanced users the latest workflow integration between<br />
Final Cut and Creative Suite 4 Production Premium and will provide a<br />
sneak peek at performance gains that the new Adobe Mercury Playback<br />
Engine will deliver.</p>
<p>Autodesk will show off and detail in-depth the editorial, conforming,<br />
color correction and advanced 2D and 3D compositing workflow of their<br />
just announced "Smoke on a Mac." Red Giant will introduce and detail<br />
the workflow of several new tools and upgrades to their software that<br />
allow for finishing HDSLR and tapeless projects directly within Final<br />
Cut Pro.</p>
<p>"For San Francisco we've also added an exciting component to the<br />
SuperMeet Digital Showcase," says Michael Horton, co-producer, Los<br />
Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group. "Local filmmakers can showcase<br />
their projects in what we call our "Open Screen Theater." Filmmakers<br />
and digital content creators wanting to get seen will have a a 10<br />
minute chance to do so in an informal, collaborative setting. We want<br />
those who are shooting with HDSLRS and other tapeless workflows to<br />
screen content and interact. Filmmakers, just show up and sign up,<br />
get up and show off. It's first come, first serve in our "Open Screen<br />
Theater" and Friday, February 5th is your day to get seen."</p>
<p>The stage show of the San Francisco SuperMeet is considered by its<br />
organizers as "SuperSecret," a final agenda will not be announced<br />
until approximately three weeks before the event. Complimentary food<br />
(snacks) and cash bars will be available throughout the evening. To<br />
register for the free educational workshops and to purchase SuperMeet<br />
tickets online, and for complete daily updates on the San Francisco<br />
SuperMeet including a current list of exhibiting sponsors, list of<br />
