PhotoShop this Tuesday

Whats this mean? Come along and find out.

Digital Video Editing

Two members have suggested to me recently about the possibility of creating a video editing group. This could probably be on the 3rd Tuesday (Print Group). Most people seem to be using Pinnacle Studio for video or AV creation. Anyone else interested?

Volume 2 of the AV DVD is finished. I'll post the details tomorrow when I photograph the case. Volume 3 has just one more chapter to add and then rendered to be finished, the label has been printed.
Does anyone else have an AV they would like to be included as part of the club's DVD library?

Audio Visual DVD Volume 1

Just released, Vol 1 of our AV DVD library.
Contents include; 'Bendigo by Tram' by BCC members, 'Sacred Heart Cathedral' by Mark Fairbairn, 'Young Endeavour' by Jay Davey & 'Hong Kong Disneyland' by Mark Fairbairn.

Volumes 2 & 3 are close to finished. The next two volumes will include 'Essence of Italy' by Vicki Harrington, 'African Journey' by Boyd Robertson and other AV's produced by members of the Bendigo Camera Club.

If any other clubs would like a copy, cost is $5.00 each, which includes postage. The price is just enough to cover the cost of the disc, dvd case & printing.

NOTE: This is a video DVD and will play in your normal DVD/TV system, you do not need a computer to view the AV's.
