Avid recently participated at the 2008 DGA Digital Day in Los Angeles. It is an annual one-day event hosted by the Directors Guild of America as an educational and networking opportunity for their membership and invited guests. The agenda features presentations and vendor exhibits on the latest digital technologies. This year’s theme was content creation for new media distribution and included seminars on new internet platforms, performance capture and the 3D pipeline and workflow. 3D technology continues to be the hot industry topic and this year's audience got to experience a "3D Home Viewing Experience" which was filled with people all day.
The vendor exhibits were extremely diverse this year with demonstrations of digital cameras, 3D scanning and animation software, 3D visualization technologies, color correction software, and, of course, the latest editing systems. We presented the latest version of Avid Media Composer software running on the Mac, as well as the new Media Composer Nitris DX, to a capacity crowd of over 450 attendees.
