Chris Fenwick: Slice Editorial - Organize your FCP Project -


"Project Organization and Workflow"


If you've ever spent more than 5 minutes looking for a file, or started a second project before the first one is complete, or shared your duties with other editors, this discussion is for you. "Project Organization and Workflow" are key to working in an IT based video production environment.

Chris Fenwick has a 25 year history of creating broadcast television and corporate video projects that started years before even owning a computer. As a broadcaster and an early adopter of "desktop video" Chris brings a unique perspective to what we do everyday.

In 2007 Chris moved his personal edit suite into Slice Editorial in Oakland and spends the vast majority of his time there servicing Fortune 100 companies. Most recently he has been exploring the HDSLR world of the Canon 5DMK2 and 7D and its use in his workflow.

SF Cutters is the World's first Apple Final Cut Pro User Group forming in March of 2000.

That's right, the concept of a DV User Group, complete with networking, screenings and tech info centered around Apple Final Cut Pro was born right here in San Francisco. Currently there are over 100 chapters of Final Cut Pro and ProApps User Groups based upon our model. We are proud to be the founders of this exciting movement, dubbed in 1999 as "The DV Revolution". Viva!

SF Cutters meets regularly in San Francisco and the Bay Area Jan thru Nov, the schedule may vary from year to year.
