* Your Casablanca unit must have: • Smart Edit 7, Smart Edit 8, or Bogart SE OS 2 active as well as the following 2 add-on software products installed and activated (not in Demo Mode) • Disk Transfer ** • DVD Arabesk 4 **If the absence of Disk Transfer (or the expense of purchasing it) is the obstacle keeping you from registering for this workshop - I have a remedy... I am happy to offer to send you a miniDV tape of the workshop footage that would need to be loaded in & split prior to the workshop. This makes sense if Disk Transfer is not something you see a big need for apart from this workshop. After you have registered Contact me (Chet Davis) directly via email (chet@chetdavis.com) to take advantage of this option. Other software that must be active, installed and/or in the 'demo' mode includes: • Akaba - New Concept • BlueBox World (not just BlueBox but Blue Box World) • Magic Lights • Audio Effects Pack You will be provided with the Disk Transfer DVD upon set-up on Tuesday morning. We will load the workshop footage as part of our first day activities. * Recommended list of items for each person to bring: Here is a list of equipment to bring for the hands-on workshop: • Your Casablanca Editor • Your TV/Video monitor or VGA monitor/s • Power cords for BOTH your Casablanca & your monitor/s • S-video or RCA/Phono cable for video monitor connection • VGA cable if using VGA monitor • RCA/Phono paired audio cable for monitor • Trackball for Casablanca • Keyboard for Casablanca • Short USB extension cable (came with Casablanca - totally optional but useful) • USB Flash Drive (Kingston Data Traveller or PNY Attache - 2 GB or smaller) • Power bar/Power Strip and *AC cord 5' to 10' (*optional but very helpful) • • Your software activation code sheet (optional - but potentially helpful) TESTIMONIALS (Why you should attend) Comment from Lowell Brockway who attended Chet's Seminars: I attended Chet's two day seminar in Davenport in March. I have been making my living on the MacroSystem editors since 2001. The time and money spent on this program was well worth it.
Anytime you are with Chet you will learn something new whether it be a new short cut or some new way to do something. Having your own editor there with you and Chet going over the program makes you remember much better than just listening or watching a video. You do it on your machine. I am planning on going to the 2 day event in Michigan in August and look forward to learning new things. --------------------
Comment from Don Simmons who attended Chet's Seminars: I consider myself a Casablanca Power User with a Prestige, Solitaire,
and now one of the new "S" series editors.... I had the pleasure of attending the Casablanca Expert's 2 day workshop in Davenport this year. The additional things I learned from this extraordinary talented Casablanca Expert - Chet Davis can not easily be put into words even for "The Mouth of the South". Chet's extraordinary talent as a "PROFESSIONAL TEACHER & INSTRUCTOR", his ability to deliver the message to such a diverse and varied class of editors, in such a way that professionals are not bored or amateurs are not overwhelmed is incredible. He is A Total Professional in everything he does. If the opportunity arises and you are fortunate enough to have Chet providing a workshop in your area.... "DO ALL POSSIBLE TO ATTEND... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED". There were many of us that attended the two day workshop in Davenport. I do not think a single one of us was disappointed. I can not speak for the others... but for me "I MORE THAN RECEIVED MY MONIES WORTH". Keep it up Chet. See you in Farmington, Michigan as I intend to attend again --------------------
I attended Chet's 2 day seminar before the 2009 March Get Together
and LOVED it. So here is what I can say about this: I am a Macrosystem user for the past 8 years now and attending Chet's Casablanca Expert session gave me all kinds of NEW tips and tricks we ALL should and can use in our profession. Learning the tools is the biggest part of my business, Chet will help you dive deeper in the editors and the software. Even after 8 years of using the MacroSystem products, Chet was able to expand my knowledge and understanding of the hardware and software. I turn to Chet first when I have a question or issue. He is an AMAZING teacher and even better person. "Worth EVERY penny I spent". I hope and plan to attend more of Chet's sessions. --------------------
