TORONTO LOCAL SIGGRAPH EVENT June 19, 8 pm AVID/1 Technology Demonstration by Video Design Systems. A super event is lined up for our next meeting on Tuesday, June 19 at 8 pm. The role of computer (graphics) assisted technology in video editing is growing in importance and we'll have a chance to see for ourselves what the issues are. David Ray from Video Design Systems will be demonstrating the Avid/1 Media Composer. This product digitizes video onto a Mac II hard disk, and then offers a whole user environment to support the process of editing the final piece. Non-linear, random-accesss digital editing make for a more productive off-line edit, to say the least. To help set the context for this demo, George Roulston will do a short talk on the video/film editing task in general. He began his career at the BBC, and has specialized in electronic film editing for television drama since 1970. This will be a great evening for video folk, Mac graphics types, and user interface/HCI people. Please call Stephen Price at Topix, 971-7711, to confirm your attendance. He'll give you more details on the meeting. /Bill Wright, Design Vision See you there! -- Tom Burns, aka "The Video Guy" at: | "Ebben ne'andro lontana" - La Wally Alias Research Inc.
