Advanced Casablanca Hands-on Workshop - Dallas, TX 2010

Casablanca expert Chet Davis is returning to Dallas, Texas in September 2010 and offering this special, advanced session of his popular hands-on workshop.  Chet will provide you with an opportunity to be coached in advanced Casablanca skills and techniques! 

This special 2-day workshop is scheduled to dove-tail with the Dallas Casablanca Conference agenda -- we'lll kick off on Sunday morning at 10AM (time for local folks to drive in without another hotel night) and wrap-up our 2nd and final day on Monday... allowing you to recharge your batteries before the Dallas Casablanca Conference begins on Tuesday morning.

You bring your Casablanca unit and a monitor.  Chet will supply the class footage as AVI files on DVD for use with Disk Transfer.  You load the footage onto your Casablanca editor and follow along with Chet as he leads you through two days worth of exercises to help raise you on the ladder of video enlightenment.

Registration for this two-day advanced hands-on training is just $149.00 per person for Dallas Conference Attendees - $199 if you're coming for just this workshop. The registration fee includes workshop footage on DVD, expert instruction & hands-on training, lunch both days... and you'll receive a DVD set of the workshop for you to review back in your edit studio! This year I will be distributing the Workshop DVD at the conclusion of the event for efficient delivery!

NOTE: When registering, make certain you select the proper category/ticket -- there is a special reduced rate for those also attending the Dallas Conference 2010 (this is possible as CAM Audio is kindly subsidizing the hotel classroom rental fees).

* Your Casablanca unit must have Smart Edit 8, SE9  or Bogart SE OS 2 or OS3 active as well as the following 3 add-on software products installed and activated (not in Demo Mode) Disk Transfer, PowerKey and DVD Arabesk 4.

Other software that must be active or installed and in the 'demo' mode includes: Candy Factory, Particle Magic and Audio Effects,   You will be provided with the Disk Transfer DVD upon set-up on Friday morning. We will load the workshop footage as part of our first day activities.
