    “ASK LARRY ANYTHING” AGENDA

    This four-hour session is a free-wheeling discussion on all things Final Cut Studio. Have questions on Final Cur Pro 6? Bring ‘em. Soundtrack Pro? DVD Studio Pro? Final Cut Pro X?  Bring ‘em all.

    This is a four-hour event where you can ask Larry anything and watch as he works through the answers.  (In fact, if you don’t bring questions, we’ll all just spend four hours staring at each other…)

    Think of this as a personal consulting session – bring your problems and see if we can solve them together. Best of all, we are offering this session for ONLY $5!

    Anyone with questions on any version of Final Cut Studio software, or the new Final Cut Pro X. There are only 100 seats for this event — this will fill VERY quickly!
