Hey, I went to the FCP Studio 2 "post NAB" Tour presentation yesterday in Seattle and all I can say is WOW! If it hasn't yet come to your city, and even if you already have your copy of Studio 2, I would highly recommend attending this presentation to see the suite taken through its paces.

It's so much more impressive than I expected it to be. It was amazing to see so many people in the audience (including myself) just shaking their heads in wonder and amazement. I swear I almost even felt a little teary a time or two. This new Studio is truly revolutionary, and seeing it demonstrated in depth turned me on to so many more possibilities than I would have discovered any time soon on my own.

It's really true what everyone is saying, Color is worth the price alone - but so are the Soundtrack updates, the Motion updates, ProRes 422 for the love of god, and don't even get me started on the mixed format timeline...damn, I would almost be willing to wear a robe and hand out flyers at airports for this thing...

Bonuses of attending the event, apart from the video iPod and Apple TV raffle; we got to see the RED camera and were shown the 12 minute short, in 2k, directed by Peter Jackson, which was really impressive.

I think they hang out after the presentation to talk to people, but the presentations are really fast paced and no time for questions (frankly pretty smart on their part, who knows how long the tech geek minutiae could drag on for)
 
Hey I drove up from Portland and was at the Seattle show yesterday as well. I agree, I was also very impressed!! Really cool, and a worth attending. Exceeded my expectations (even though it is basically a huge commercial, its a really good one! haha).

Oh and yeah - it was a nice surprise to get to see Peter Jackson's 12min film that he made using the RED ONE. What a camera!
 
Which did you guys attend? the "all access"?

I'm signed up for the "what's new", but it's not coming [to dallas] till july 19th.

Wonder if they're planning on putting up an online video of the event for those who can't make it... it'd be nice.
 
Yeah, went to both sessions as well. The second session isn't really necessary because it covers all of the ground covered (in more detail) in session 1. But it's cool to sit there and watch it all again and there were a couple more head shaking, "dude, no way" moments.

Would be nice if there were a video demo of the presentation. I was really wishing that some of my colleagues had been there (especially those who are cursing and throwing things at their home Avid systems right now).

There will probably be in-store demos in the Apple stores, but that can't really compare with the industry pros who were whipping through those awesome demos.
 
Hey. I believe the Ducati commercial in on Apples site somewhere. Just try a search on it.

BTW, here's a link to some photos I took while attending the FCS-2 Tour.

I also really enjoyed the tour. Great presentations and I thought the crowd was great too, its always enjoyable to have such an energetic crowd. It made the whole event feel like one big movie, pretty nice.

Also the PJ short.....man, that was awesome. At 2k, it still looked beautiful. I cant imagine what it was like at NAB in its full 4k glory.
 
I was impressed that there were so many people at the Seattle event - I often feel I see the same dozen people at some of these events. The event was entertaining and a great premier for what to expect from this significant upgrade. My Studio 2 arrived Friday and I've spent yesterday finishing a project so I could confidently do the upgrade install.

FYI Seatle members - I'm also signed up for a "Final Cut Studio 2 Test Drive" event at the WA State Convention and Trade Center on June 1st - I think this is suppose to be a hands on event with a computer for each participant?
